Taylor Swift is runningOut of the Woodsagain.
And yes, the story behind it is just as scary as the lyrics sound.
It proved to have a lasting impact, being referenced in two of Swifts future songs.
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
20 stitches in a hospital room, she sings.
However, she was surprised that the ER visit was kept private for so long.
You know what Ive found works even better than an NDA?
she said at the time.
Looking someone in the eye and saying, like dont tell anyone about this.
The Is It Over Now?
The Question…?
Connection
Theres an even stronger connection on Question…?
from Swifts 2022 albumMidnights, which literally samples Out of the Woods.
At the very beginning of the track, Swift re-uses the line I remember… from the1989songs chorus.
Naturally, this line made fans think Swift wrote Question…?
while reflecting on her relationship with Styles, potentially afterthey spoke againat the 2021 Grammys.
No matter what inspired Out of the Woods, its clearly had a lasting impact on Swifts music.
