Lyric Hints

Taylor Swift likes to give her fans hidden messages and clues to what her songs are about, easter eggs if you will, much like the Beatles did with their music,  "They used to play around with secret messages in their records, I figured you can't play a CD backward, but with encoding stuff into the lyrics, I was able to get a similar kind of thing across." (Taylor Swift tells USA Today)
