I'm Testing out this theory that there is a song in each of the 'Multiple Taylor's Series' that talks about the same situation from each different perspective. We're remembering the physical portrayals from the Anti-Hero music video that gave us the map to Taylor's plan of introducing each persona. See my other posts about it:

Obviously not every song has a 1:1:1 match, because the tracklists are different lengths. But I thought it would be a fun exercise none-the-less, and might be enlightening.
These 3 songs show Taylor has everything- A music career, accolades, huge fan base, money... But in order to get those things she had to de-prioritize love. And her romances couldn't survive the fame/scrutiny.
Giant Taylor from Midnights is wistful about the loss, but knows that she chose this.
Poet Taylor from TTPD feels cursed and hopeless about it. She wishes it could be changed.
Showgirl Taylor from TLOAS romanticizes the situation by comparing herself to one of the biggest stars-Elizabeth Taylor. She still chases those #1 hits, and says all the lovers are immortalized in her songs, in the media and in the lore.
