The Crowd Is Your King
Poem by Taylor Swift | October 3, 2025
Remember this city?
You’ve been here before in another life
On another tour
Remember her?
She’s got a mortgage now
Straight teeth where there’d
been metal brackets
Standing with her 8 year old daughter
You mouth ‘I know you’
In the millisecond gap in your choreography
To you, she will look exactly the same age
as the first time you saw her
She will always be 14 and a half
Remember!
Lock right back into the footwork
Any missed step is a misstep
You must remember everything
But mostly this:
The crowd is your king
Who has ruled over you for centuries Benevolently
For the most part.
