Natalia finds that the song's lyrics, especially the part about knowing everything at age 18 but feeling lost at age 22, capture the typical feelings of uncertainty felt by recent graduates.
How did the fans react to this?
Swift had been withdrawing from the spotlight following the conclusion of her record-breaking Eras tour, so her fans were thrilled when she unexpectedly liked the post.
An overjoyed fan wrote, "So we all just stalking Taylor's likes," With excitement, a second commenter added, "TAYLOR FINALLY LIKED A NEW VIDEO." According to a third admirer, "TAYLOR IS ALIVE."
Swift's preference for the video was characterised by a fourth fan as "a cute sign of life," while a fifth fan questioned whether the celebrity had finally recalled her TikTok password.
Swift's boyfriend, Kelce, is also taking some time off from his NFL responsibilities, which is enabling them to spend more time together.
Is Taylor Swift still supporting Travis Kelce publicly?
Since Swift and the NFL player started dating more than a year ago, Kelce has had more opportunities outside of football.
The Blast claims that he has recently starred in films like "Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?" and "Grotesquerie," and that he will soon appear in "Happy Gilmore 2."
Taylor Swift's backing of Kelce's endeavours has drawn criticism from some fans, though. Swift has a long history of adeptly controlling her public persona, according to some admirers, which could make her relationship seem staged.
They think the relationship is important to Kelce, who probably enjoys the attention it receives. Swift actively supports her friends' endeavours, but she hasn't done the same for Kelce's work, according to one Reddit user.
They noted that while Swift hardly ever acknowledges Kelce in public, he regularly brings him up in interviews and on his New Heights podcast, as per a report by the Blast.
