低谷中的Crush

“This ain't for the best.

My reputation's never been worse.

So you must like me for me…”

Taylor被电化的低徊声线仿佛朦胧的雾气，黯然神伤。经过前面暗黑科技感的Ready for it,戏剧化的End Game,声嘶力竭的I Did Something Bad，以及沉痛至极的Don't Blame Me之后，她终于卸下重重盔甲，一点点展现出脆弱的内心。Taylor从来不吝于在歌词中袒露私人化的真实情感，并且积极寻求与听众的共鸣点。即使她如今的生活已经距离普通人颇为遥远，也未曾改变分享共鸣的初衷。在这首歌里，恋情里小心翼翼，患得患失的复杂情绪被描画的细致入微，令人感同身受。”Is it cool that I said all that? Is it chill that you're in my head? 'Cause I know that it's delicate.”轻轻地回旋在耳边。在人生低谷遇见你，想要敞开心扉，却怕再度受伤，也怕毁坏了彼此的好感。”Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?”不断地反问，求证。到了bridge部分，”Sometimes I wonder when you sleep. Are you ever dreaming of me? Sometimes when I look into your eyes. I pretend you're mine, all the damn time.”表白更加直露，也更凄然。配合着MV中自由而荒诞的舞蹈动作，她完全沉浸于掺杂了几分惶恐的Crush之中。联想昔日Enchanted最后那段微弱的恳求”Please don't be in love with someone else. Please don't have somebody waiting on you.”她不再会那样贸然地热烈表白了。现在的她像一只惊慌失措的小动物，自卑又无助。

我并不认为这首歌的歌词写得很好，如果能把具象化的描述，如”Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you. Oh damn, never seen that color blue.”去掉，立意会更加丰富蕴藉。毕竟这样的速写式标签并没能刻画出一个多么鲜明独特的意象，何不索性隐没呢？

MV的设计实在出乎我的意料，我本以为会是像Style一样的唯美PPT播放……起初我忍不住大笑，她尬舞的样子实在是太喜感了。继而一阵阵酸楚袭来，在雨中曲式踩水花的欢快中顺势流下了泪水。结尾，隐身效应消失，她望见了递纸条的神秘知音，露出了欣慰的笑容。最绝望之时，也恰是新的开始。蓦然回首，那人却在，灯火阑珊处。
