#So it goes Taylors version

[foxes-that-run]

So it goes

So it goes tells the story of the 2014 Victoria Secret After Party: ''All eyes were on Harry and Taylor when they turned up. [...] The drinks were flowing until 3am, when they snuck out of a rear exit five minutes apart to avoid being pictured together." In context of the 2015 timeline 1989 (I know places established they wanted their relationship to go private) and 1D’s Four (with Stockholm Syndrome) had just been released. They were photographed the after party:

This was a pivotal night:

this outfit from that VS Show is also at 3 mins in I don’t wanna live forever (and cardigan refers to this sequin smile) and

In Only Angel Harry says he doesn't have eyes for the VS angels “She's an angel, My-my-my only angel”

Harry wore the coat

So it goes has only been played live 8 times and not yet on the Eras tour. The last time it was played was in the last Rep show in Tokyo, (9:38) with 2 other rare songs for the Rep Tour: I Know Places and Wildest Dreams. Harry Styles was in Japan that month and wrote Little Freak before he left Tokyo.

Timeline

3 December 2014 - Harry and Taylor seen dancing till 3am at the VS After party, where they were described as having "all eyes on them."

6-23 January 2015 - Harry and Taylor break up somewhere between here. See 2015 timeline

14 February - Style music video released, Two Ghosts and If I could fly written.

24 February - Taylor meets Calvin Harris, if she already had lyrics about the muse 'doing a number' on her on the 3rd Calvin could not be the muse. Harry's Winding wheel post

3 March - So it goes was written soon after Oscar Gorres became a father on this date. At that point "Taylor already had the lyrics" Shellback had the melody. Screenshots of the Grammy article:

11 march - Calvin breaks up with his girlfriend.

Taylor met Joe 15 months later.

Fun fact: Taylor's only lyrics "so it goes" are in Haylor songs, the very first night, So it goes, Style and You are in Love.

Live performances

So it goes has only been played live 9 times, ever. For a fan favorite love song this should further confirm it is an emotional song to Taylor at the time. She's also played it at particular times and paired it with particular songs:

June 22, 2018, Wembley. Where Harry lives. First time played was 2 months into the tour. Taylor also had Niall Horan as a guest in an NYC shirt. The same night Harry was very emotional, he sung Still the One in Madison Square Garden. Taylor later had that suit in the Me! video. It’s unclear why this date was so special, though it was 1 year and 2 days after his step-dad passed.

July 10, 2018, Landover, with State of Grace

July 14, 2018, Philadelphia, with Treacherous. Close to State of Grace/Temper Trap arm/tattoo anniversary.

July 22, 2018, New Jersey. End of Live on Tour.

July 28, 2018, Foxborough, news of Harry's break up with Camille broke 2 days later.

August 4, 2018, Toronto, with Come Back... Be Here (1 of 2 live performances of CBBH). Harry left LA for Italy and was seen driving a Maserati (was it a dead end street?)

September 1, 2018, Minneapolis

November 21, 2018, Last reputation show, played with Wildest Dreams. Harry had been in Tokyo and wrote Little Freak in the same period.

November 20, 2023, Eras tour, with Me! wore and made the Stadium green.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] See you in the dark All eyes on you, my magician All eyes on us You make everyone disappear, and Cut me into pieces Gold cage, hostage to my feelings Back against the wall Trippin', trip-trippin' when you're gone

The first verse sets the scene, similar to the articles Harry and Taylor are the focus of many, drawn to each other and wanting to keep their connection secret.

In Hoax, Taylor has a similar lyric to magician "Your sleight of hand"

'Gold cage, hostage to my feelings' refers to being trapped by love. Similar to Stockholm Syndrome, which was released only 2 weeks before the VS party, Taylor is trapped in a gold/gilded cage (a luxurious prison) by love.

[Pre-Chorus] 'Cause we break down a little But when you get me alone, it's so simple 'Cause, baby, I know what you know We can feel it [Chorus] And all the pieces fall right into place Getting caught up in a moment Lipstick on your face So it goes I'm yours to keep And I'm yours to lose You know I'm not a bad girl, but I Do bad things with you So it goes

So it goes is a lyric in Style. In the chorus Taylor lets us know that when they are away from others they have great chemistry. She also refers to lipstick, referred to in many 1989 songs. Taylor is described as a 'bad/good girl often, she talks about it in Miss Americana and also in:

Style: And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt

Question...?; Good girl, sad boy

Only Angel: That she's gonna be an angel, just you wait and see, When it turns out she's a devil in between the sheets

[Verse 2] Met you in a bar All eyes on me, your illusionist All eyes on us I make all your gray days clear And wear you like a necklace I'm so chill, but you make me jealous But I got your heart Skippin', skip-skippin' when I'm gone

The afterparty was in Basement bar. The illusionist/magician references are enjoying knowing that she and her muse will leave together without others knowing. 'Make all grey days clear' tells us the muse is British.

[Bridge] You did a number on me But, honestly, baby, who's counting? I did a number on you But, honestly, baby, who's counting? You did a number on me But, honestly, baby, who's counting? Who's counting? (One, two, three)

The bridge tells us more about her relationship with her muse, they have a history, have hurt each other before and are wanting to move on. Though she says she is letting it go she is also keeping score. At this point the events of Red, 1989 and most of the one direction songs about TS had transpired between them.

In Grapejuice Harry starts the song with 1, 2, 3 and ends on 1 (I.e let’s start again) here Taylor also counts 1, 2, 3 after “you didn’t a number on me but honestly baby who’s counting”

fearless / untouchable / so it goes...

[feminist-cult-following]

most lesbian taylor swift songs as decided by me, a raging lesbian (part 2)

1. the way I loved you — literally the comphet anthem! it’s exactly how I talked about boys before I came out

2. but daddy I love him — even with the he/him/his pronouns this song is so undeniably lesbian coded. a relationship forbidden not only by the narrator’s family but the entire town??? need i say more?

3. maroon — the incense, “like you were my closest friend”, the mark on the collarbone being a lipstick print instead of a hickey? I saw gay, so I said gay

4. gold rush — this simply is not a song you write about a man

5. seven — that first childhood love that you didn’t realize was love until you were much older and you’d already grown apart

6. cowboy like me — this one is just pure vibes. nothing about this song is straight to me

7. snow on the beach — whenever taylor sings a duet with a woman I’m always gonna interpret the song as gay

8. fresh out the slammer — imagine this one from the perspective of a closeted lesbian who finally leaves her man and goes to the woman she truly loves, it’ll change your life. I like to think of this as a sort of sequel to the couple in the way I loved you

9. so it goes… — “wear you like a necklace” case closed.

10. how you get the girl — you can present me with a tutorial and how to pull women and not expect me to call it gay

What I Think Each Member of the Bad Batch’s Favorite Taylor Swift Album(s) Would Be (Plus Bonus Phee and Bonus Fives)

Hunter- Taylor Swift

Wrecker- Tie between 1989 and Fearless

Tech- Red for “All Too Well” alone (he’s very into lyrics and their meanings; also enjoys Folklore and Evermore)

Crosshair- Reputation (he’s also a really big fan of Red and Lover, but Reputation has a special place in his heart; he’s a huge Swiftie though so he likes all of them)

Omega- Speak Now (Reputation is a very close second because Crosshair likes it so much)

Echo- Folklore (followed very closely by Midnights and TTPD)

Phee- Tie between Red and Evermore

Fives- Midnights

[tswiftupdatess]

Tonight's surprise songs are:

- ME! 🎸

- So It Goes... 🎹

[pinkheart22]

Why I think Taylor Swift will sing So It Goes... the night she announces Reputation Taylors Version

As far as I know on this European Leg of The Eras Tour Taylor hasnt sang So it goes...

She sang I did something bad tonight, knowing she hasnt sang it the entirety of the tour and that all the swifties are clowning that she would sing that and then announce reputation taylors version.

i did something bad was a red herring, and the precursor to her vanishing from the tour ( there is no tour date August 18 ) just like she vanished August 18 2017 with a full social media black out, before she resurfaced with a reputation announcement August 21. (But it's been two thousand one hundred and 90 days of our love blackout - glitch) she did something "bad", because she didnt announce anything and she let us think that, that would be the song she announced with

she will sing So it goes... because of the lyrics:

All Eyes on me I'm your illusionist - an illusionist is someone who performs tricks that deceive the eye; a magician.

All our eyes are on Taylor but she has been deceiving us - eg. the i did something bad performance

You make everyone disappear - Taylor is going to disappear August 18th

Who's counting? 1,2,3 - Taylor has been doing countdowns, holding up 3, 2, and 1 fingers during the reputation era at the eras tour, and using exclamation points in her instagram posts.

Cause baby, I know what you know, we can feel it - Taylor and the swifties know that reputation taylors version is coming

Gold Cage, hostage to my feelings - There is a gold cage in the look what you made me do music video. Reputation is hostage. And possibly a lost album is hostage.

And all the pieces fall, right into place - when she announces reputation taylors version all the pieces will be in place.

I'm yours to keep and I'm yours to lose - We can keep reputation taylors version, but we will also lose reputation

You know, I'm not a bad girl, but i do bad things with you - She's not bad, but she did something bad, hence why she sang it at Wembley night 6. She wants to experience reputation taylors version with us

Come here dressed in black now - I'm assuming Taylor will be dressed in black, and also come here to her new reputation taylor's version album, which is the black heart emoji album

ALSO, she sang my boy only breaks his favorite toys x coney island on Wembley night 6

in my boy only breaks his favorite toys she sings:

Puzzle pieces in the dead of night compare that to....

And all the pieces fall, right into place - So it goes..

New mastermind stars body suit the night before (wembley night 5)

wearing a full stars and crescent moon (all the stars aligned)

Checkmate, I couldn't lose - mastermind

All of this is like pieces of a board game, puzzles, and dominoes.

It's all going to cascade in a line when she announces reputation taylors version

REPUTATION - TAYLOR SWIFT (NOV 10, 2017)

So It Goes… // I Can See You (all lyric connections)

[starryhiraeth]

If you’re taking requests for the Taylor’s Version fics, do you think you could do “False God” or “So It Goes” with Rhys?

Rhysand x reader

Warnings?; suggestive hints, dumb teenage shit, alcohol and… Spelling Errors! SHOCKING…not

I hope you like it, tbh, originally, the meaning of the phrase “so it goes” was totally lost on me, but basically it’s means “so is life” “that’s what’s going to happen” “it is what it is” kind of like that 😂



You’d first met Rhysand in a bar, you were 17, as was he, at the time and had taken your older sisters ID to get in, the music was great and the alcohol was lush but…the people…the people were annoying

You didn’t quite realise just how many there was going to be, not to mention you were generally a good girl, it was your first time doing something like this.

You felt like your throat was closing up, you are definitely tipsy and panic started to rise until

“Need some help?”

You turned around to see the most beautiful creature you had ever seen, with deep violet-azure eyes and a devilish grin

It took your a while for you to realise your mouth was agape, you slammed it shut and blush spread across your cheeks

“Uh..uh what?” Your said, trying to act casual

He chuckled and moved closer

“Well even though the drinks here a great, It’s starting to get a little crowded” his breathe smelled of rich whiskey

You hummed and he took your hand, leading you outside

Once out, you felt like you could finally breathe, the cold air greeted you warmly

Ironic

Mystery man was next to you taking in the sight

The bar was in the forest, fairy lights decorated the trees and a streamed flowed on your right.

“Fancy going for a swim, darling?” He gave you that intoxicating grin again, offering you his hand as you took it

Soon enough you were both down in your underwear and splashing around in the water from the stream, until he grabbed turn wrist to stop you winning the water battle, not realising how close he had pulled you.

You breathing became shallow as your noises touched, your lips met in a heat of passion.

(I’ll let you imagine what happened next)

The next time you met Rhysand, you are 20 and you finally learnt his name!

(Good for you babes!)

Though the conversation was an odd one

“Your name darling?”

You told him

“and yours handsome?”

“Rhysand”

“Ha, you have the same name as the prince”

Looking back you wanted to slap yourself

He smirked “I suppose I do, don’t I”

“…”

“…”

“WAIT-”

You hummed and he started to move closer

“Want to go have some fun”

You smiled and took his offered hand, again

What you didn’t know was that “having fun” consisted of breaking into a museum, fucking on the furniture and stealing from various bars, gods you felt so bad but so alive, with Rhysand it felt like all the pieces fell into place, you get lost in the moment.

You certainly weren’t a bad girl, as already mentioned but with Rhysand, you did all kinds of bad things

By the next morning, you are in his black shirt and Rhysand has scratch marks down his back, as your red lipstick covered his gorgeous face.

Over the years you’d definitely done numbers on each other, but hey, who’s counting, seriously through.

You’d break down a little every now and again and date others then of course came meeting his family, biological and not, the death of his biological family, Amarantha, and now.

When Rhysand has returned it truly all fell into place, finally seeing him for the first time in 50 years

It finally hit.

Mate

mate

mate

Prythian was saved by Feyre Archeron, Tamlin’s mate and through her and you, Night and spring were able to reach a peace, at least politically.

And even then, after the war with Hybern, it was always you and Rhys

And EVEN now, with you being high lady and even with being a mother to your son, nyx.

When it’s just Rhys and you, you still get lost in the moment, lipstick is still painted on Rhys’s face, and you’ll always loose yourself becoming bad with your mate and doing mischievous things, almost like you were wild 17 year olds again but so it goes…

[folklorepdf]

I am yours, but you're not mine // I'm yours to keep and I'm yours to lose // You weren't mine to lose.

Say Don't Go (1989, Taylor's Version), So it Goes (Reputation), August (Folklore)

[wonderstruck-perfume-tv]

I’m just gonna say it. The Style TV Intro sounds normal to me.
