But it also speaks to Taylor&#8217;s experience as an eldest daughter, being somewhat jaded as she tries to &#8220;seem cool,&#8221; and finally feeling like herself with the &#8220;you&#8221; (ahem, Travis) of this song. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"recirculation\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\"
