No, Really—These People Are Actually Down Bad, Crying at the Gym

Slate  

Taylor Swift does not lead a relatable life. Swift uses the chorus to announce that she is “down bad, crying at the gym,” completing the couplet with, “Fuck it if I can’t have him.” It seemed like an innocuous kiss-off at first glance; one of the minor locutions Swift has deployed to express heartbreak over the past two decades. “I …
