American artist Taylor Swift (33) has had a remarkable career, with over 200 million albums sold and twelve Grammys won. The release of their latest album “Midnights” even caused the Spotify streaming service to temporarily crash. Swift started writing songs when she was 14 years old.
As with many of her songs, Taylor Swift often deals with themes of love and relationships. But if you listen closely, you’ll discover another element that can be found again and again in his songs across many albums: wine. Text passages from four songs on four different albums of this extraordinary artist provide evidence of this.
Champagne Problems
In this song from the album “Evermore”, the phrase Champagne Problems is used metaphorically. This is used to describe a situation where a person’s emotional problems may seem trivial to others, but are significant and profound to the person in question. The use of the word champagne conveys an air of luxury or celebration and contrasts with the emotional difficulties described in the song.
burgundy
Swift’s interest in wine is also emphasized in the song Maroon from the album “Midnights”. She says someone spilled Burgundy wine on her T-shirt. Swift’s blood then literally rushed to her cheeks, which brings to mind the metaphor that a wine stain on a T-shirt is similar to the flush on the cheeks due to embarrassment or excitement.
That’s why we can’t have nice things
In the song test for this song from the album “Reputation”, the word champagne sea is used figuratively to describe the extravagant atmosphere at a party. A pictorial representation of a scene where people celebrate amidst luxury, wealth and excess.
The term champagne sea also suggests that there is plenty of champagne at the party, symbolizing abundance and high-society lifestyle. However, the overall theme of this song revolves around the breakdown of a friendship or relationship; initial celebration and luxury contrasts with later disappointment.
August
There is also a wine reference in the multi-award winning album “Folklore”. In the song “August”, Swift says that the month of the same name passes as quickly as a bottle of wine. Enjoying a bottle of wine is used symbolically to describe the time and fleeting nature of a summer love.
This passage reflects the feeling of nostalgia and longing for a past relationship experienced in August. It is suggested that summer love is enjoyed just like a bottle of wine, but eventually ends.
