Fresh Out the Slammer
Taylor Swift Lyrics

@scholas_creative_space

Whooaa

@scholas_creative_space

Whooaaa

@k_dellz

Her lower register (deep singing voice) is stunningly beautiful.

@davidfsnyder

Shows up on "So High School" too -- very beautiful and impactful.

@ShyHoopz

And people say she cant sing. Just cuz she cant sing alll the high notes 🥲🥲

@ADIAZ-sy9vw

​​@@ShyHoopz It's one thing not to know how to sing; not having training, technique. It is quite another to be born with the physical capacity for a wide upper and/or lower vocal range.
Taylor has an above average range, without reaching crazy highs, she leans more towards the lows despite being a woman, but she has a lot of experience, training and handles her vocal techniques very well.
He doesn't stop training, he has improved a lot over the years.

@AGwashere_13112

@@ShyHoopzshe can sing high notes, usually she just does it more live, people say she can’t sing because they are mad that she can and they can’t

@bkirstie

@@AGwashere_13112but that’s not her strength

@Mathews..123

This is hands down one of her most uniquely written songs ever. The subject, the structure and tbe melody of this song is just so different from anything SHE'S ever done. Love to see het growth as an artist.

She did her time with all of the past relationships which led her to her current one with Travis that is the keeper.

When it was like 33 seconds into the song it just sounded so majestic and on beat, this needs a music video!

@itziardeleon4402

I love how the music tempo changes at the beginning and then it changes again almost at the end of the song, and each tempo is completely different to the one preceding it. It's like the song changes over its course. It's like she's moving on.

@zacuzzi

She went from "I like shining things but i'd marry you with paper rings" to "At the park where we used to sit on children's swings wearing imaginary rings"

@mayyanaumenko4089

It's about different people.

@elodiesevene6255

Matty : We get married in our heads 🥺

@jamjamjimin

@@mayyanaumenko4089​​⁠​⁠that part could definitely be interpreted as recalling to the relationship in the first verse that was the “slammer”, implying it was disappointing because the rings were imaginary but now she’s running to another person

@tamarac.1735

Sounded more like a new project with her new lover

@k_dellz

Does anyone else realize the intro is country whilst the outro is synth-pop which is symbolic of Taylor’s career trajectory thus far? This song is utterly brilliantly written, produced, and sang. This is Top Tier Music.

@SuYeolYam

Omg!! You are so right!!!

@jessailardi6870

Yes holy 🎉

@jessailardi6870

I love your comment, I have to gather myself I am nerding out completely but I left a comment that this is my favorite song on the album because it starts out like an old western. Wherever you are I love you 💕💖

@britthunt5707

Yes, one of my favs on the album.

@Nothereforit174

I don’t know if it’s meant to be taken that way. She’s clearly always been a genre mixer. Pop was there in the beginning and rock in speak now. It just got stronger until after red she said she couldn’t do anything halfway and went full pop. And it’s less about synth pop or she’d identify it that way. The eighties is just her era of birth and what inspired her during 1989 but she’s also very much done a lot of non synth pop, incorporated trap, and lo fi with midnights. I think she should speak for some things unless one is a really big music theory person or they’ll have a fake theory go viral and not everything is an Easter egg(they’re not hidden when she does it, and normally she doesn’t make anyone interpret sound that metaphorically)

@do.ivygrows

this song sounds like the end of summer, cycling w your friends as the sun sets in

@vsbody

i love comments like this. because to me this sounds like july in LA. and i love that it feels either similarly or quite different t(like the end of summer, like you!) to other people:,)

@nikolamilic._

To me it sounds like cold November hahahahah
But these days when it is really cold but air is sooo clean

@dafaaariq

unpopular opinion: THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM

@alexiss.6886

completely agree

@chloewu2760

W , this song is so underappreciated and underrated

@blakeisbell9870

I have no idea why people don’t love this song as much as us cause I also agree 100%

@vanillasky981

I made it my fave cuz I haven’t seen anyone else say it was. I ranked it low based on first listen but I remember first hearing that into thinking “okkk love this!” And while it’s mellow and I’m not a huge fan of the ending, I just know this will be so fun to sing along to once I learn the words (hence why I’m here)

@jaspuurrrr

kinda upset that no one’s talking about this song ENOUGH

@leokimvideo

Singer, songwriter, performer, musician, artist, poet. Taylor Swift is so far ahead because she's no one trick pony

@Adelaide_Glarcia

Storyteller, you forgot to add that one.

@bad.tokenn

My interpretation of this:
Taylor was trapped in a relationship where she put in the effort and the emotional labour while he was trapped in his depression and caged off emotions. She did her time, did everything she could, and is now free to be herself, effectively releasing herself from the obligation to help someone who doesn't want to be helped. Her friends watched her shrink and disappear into herself just to be with him. The line "running back home to you" I could see as being about a new relationship (like Travis) but also she's running back to herself, to learn to love herself again. I see this as a song of self-love.

@karlajennifercampbell88

same!!❤

@Irisviol

Yessssssssssss!!!! This song pretty much sums up her relationship with Joe and how now she is home ( herself ) with Travis ❤. I’m seeing people trying to attach any negative song to Matty and I think it’s because nobody ever got to know Joe and I get the feeling there was so much going on with him.

@blueee1989

yess cause she's fresh out the slammer now

@mr.mclibtard5015

Cringe

@agnieszka4397

⁠@@IrisviolWhy you are assume that problem in Taylor past relations are only men? Maybe with Joe, Taylor was the problem? But of course she will will not be talking bad about herself. I can not understand this how everyone blame only Joe for everything and Taylor is Saint

@parkminrin9014

Taylor’s vocal range really grew throughout the years. Every words in her lyrics now has a color, emotion, and character into it.

@katieyu9374

@chrishatfield4789

Fresh Out the Slammer, like many of the TTPD songs, have this shimmery shoegaze production that just evokes this euphoric feeling when listening to them. Guilty As Sin has it but also a slight "country" feel to it. Sonically this album is so different than all of her previous albums. Taylor just keeps evolving as an artist and keeps getting better.

@sonalnimbhorkar6861

I'm convinced that TTPD is like Folklore and Reputation's child

Fresh Out The Slammer proves that Taylor is willing to do whatever it takes get out of a bad relationship. Sometimes she might find herself lost in the process and end up being with the person whom she loathes the most. At the end of the day, you've got yourself and you need some time and space to heal from all this.

This song has a wonderful spiritual undertone to it, lyrically and musically. Note the picture of her, looking up but with eyes closed. " ... where you still wait up and that porchlight gleams ..." just great lyric writing,

So many great songs on this album (esp. the extended anthology version). And the lyrics evolve across the album, telling a story. I don't see how this release can't win her another grammy for album of the year.
