affairs folklore (2020) \u201cillicit affairs\u201d is track ten on Taylor\u2019s eighth studio album, folklore (2020). It tackles the idea of infidelity in a nuanced and sympathetic way. Taylor recognizes both \u201cthe dwindling, mercurial high\u201d that infidelity can bring and the heartbreak that it inevitably results in. Table of Contents Background In the documentary\/concert film folklore: the long pond studio sessions\u00a0Taylor said that \u201cillicit affairs\u201d is not based on her own life, but rather a story she came up with. Not constantly having to write about herself anymore was really important to her: \u00abThis was the first album that I\u2019ve ever let go of that need to be 100 percent autobiographical because I think I needed to do that. I felt like fans needed to hear a \u2018stripped from the headlines\u2019 account of my life and it actually ended up being a bit confining. Because there\u2019s so much more to writing songs than just what you\u2019re feeling and your singular storyline. And I think this was spurred on by the fact that I was watching movies every day, I was reading books every day, I was thinking about other people every day. I was kind of outside my own, personal stuff. I think that\u2019s been my favorite thing about this album: that it\u2019s allowed to exist on its own merit without it just being, \u2018Oh, people are listening to this because it tells them something that they could read in a tabloid\u2019. It feels like a completely different experience.\u00bb Taylor Swift Lyrical Theme In the song, Taylor tells the story of a love affair, including the description of the details such as pretending to go out for a run to get one\u2019s cheeks flushed in order others would not suspect that they flush after the meeting with one\u2019s love interest. Another common precaution mentioned here is not using perfumes during the secret meetings because fragrance can reveal an affair to one\u2019s actual significant other. Production folklore producer Aaron Dessner told Vulture: \u201cThis feels like one of the real folk songs on the record, a sharp-witted narrative folk song. It just shows her versatility and her power as a songwriter, the sharpness of her writing. It\u2019s a great song.\u201d Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cillicit affairs\u201d as part of the concert film and documentary folklore: the long pond studio sessions (2020), together with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. On \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024), a shortened version of \u201cillicit affairs\u201d was part of the regular setlist. Commercial Performance Upon the release of folklore, \u201cillicit affairs\u201d debuted at No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the chart week of August 8, 2020. Lyrics [Verse 1] Make sure nobody sees you leave Hood over your head Keep your eyes down Tell your friends you\u2019re out for a run You\u2019ll be flushed when you return Take the road less traveled by Tell yourself you can always stop What started in beautiful rooms Ends with meetings in parking lots [Chorus 1] And that\u2019s the thing about illicit affairs And clandestine meetings And longing stares It\u2019s born from just one single glance But it dies and it dies and it dies \u2026a million little times [Verse 2] Leave the perfume on the shelf That you picked out just for him So you leave no trace behind Like you don\u2019t even exist Take the words for what they are A dwindling, mercurial high A drug that only worked The first few hundred times [Chorus 2] And that\u2019s the thing about illicit affairs And clandestine meetings And stolen stares They show their truth one single time But they lie and they lie and they lie \u2026a million little times [Verse 3] And you wanna scream Don\u2019t call me kid Don\u2019t call me baby Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me You showed me colors you know I can\u2019t see with anyone else Don\u2019t call me kid Don\u2019t call me baby Look at this idiotic fool that you made me You taught me a secret language I can\u2019t speak with anyone else And you know damn well For you I would ruin myself \u2026a million little
