It’s been three years since Taylor Swift has released a studio album, and so it’s been three years since we’ve participated in our favourite competitive sport: Scouring each new track for potentially biographical references. Who, and what, are Swift's new songs about? Back in the Speak Now era, Swift used to make up stories about crashing weddings.
