The Taylor Swift Florida Song “Is One Hell of a Drug”

The wait is over, the new album from Taylor Swift 'The Tortured Poets Department" is out and so far, we're all loving it. Especially the Taylor Swift Florida song, because it's about us.

Back in February we learned that Taylor's new album would have a song called Florida!!! I even wrote "Taylor Swift ‘Florida’ Song: 3 Theories On What It Could Be About." And really, now that I've heard the song, I'm not sure any of those theories were right.

That almost sounds like the old Florida adage of "come on vacation, leave on probation." She did come to Tampa in mid April of last year which was hitting right at the end of Spring Break. Perhaps she caught a bit of that vibe and it made it into the song.

Again, that first part just feels like Spring Break in Florida. For the second part, I googled "what does a little baby smell like" and got an interesting response of "the scent of a baby stimulates the dopamine pathways in the brain associated with rewards, akin to the response triggered by delightful food smells or fulfilling cravings." So, take that however you want.

That one's pretty deep. Living in Florida does feel temporary, right? If you were born here you've probably thought of moving away. If you came to Florida from somewhere else, you've considered moving back. That line hits.

Pretty sure she's talking about hurricane parties. But here in Fort Myers, that lyric really hits close to home. She goes on to say "Barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine." Hurricanes take a long time to pass. You should always bring 2 bottles.

She's talking about ditching bodies in the swamp. She even says "and your cheating husband disappeared Well, no one asks any questions here. "

Someone from Florida had to help her write that lyric, because that's our running joke. If you're driving along a back road, especially near the Everglades, someone will also say "that's a good place to get rid of a body." You know we do. It's dark, but it's something we always say. The Taylor Swift Florida song is a lot more accurate than we imagined.

I'm not saying she had someone in mind when she sang that. But, you know.....

That's again, incredibly accurate. A lot of people have moved here 'escaping' from whatever they left behind. We've always been the destination for someone looking to make a "big change" in their life. In Taylor's case, she just had a very public breakup of a long term relationship. So that's most likely a reference to Joe.

Florida, mixed with tequila, is a great way to forget. This Taylor Swift Florida song hits home.

So for all the Swifties trying to figure out which ex-boyfriend Florida!!! is about, I say, it doesn't really matter. The Taylor Swift Florida song is just a really good song. And it really sums us up pretty well.

Here is what was happening in Tampa at the time just before that show. Perhaps this is more clues as to the lyrics in the Taylor Swift Florida song. 

Taylor Swift is coming to Tampa this weekend and the Mayor of the city just made a huge announcement.

This Thursday, Friday and Saturday Taylor Swift will be playing Raymond James Stadium. To celebrate, the Mayor of Tampa, Jane Castor, is giving Swift the key to the city and even invited her to be the honorary Mayor for a day.

In addition, much like how Glendale, AZ renamed itself to "Swift City" ahead of Taylor's concerts there, Hillsborough County has renamed itself to "Swiftsborough". The City of Tampa will have Old City Hall, the Tampa Riverwalk and other bridges downtown glowing red in honor of Taylor Swift as well.

Whether you're going to the concert and want to avoid the long lines, or just want to get your hands on some merch, there's good news. We've been hearing stories about absolutely insane lines for Taylor Swift gear, but the Eras merch truck will be arriving in Tampa a day early. Find all the info here

We all know that Taylor Swift is THE hottest thing on the planet right now, even breaking the internet when tickets for the Eras Tour went on sale. To get a ticket to the show might not be easy, WFLA reports that there will be a bunch of Taylor Swift themed events happening around the city.
