So this unnamed guy who fanatically digs on Taylor Swift swam over 1.5kms to get to her Rhode Island beach home to meet her. Much to his dismay, he was arrested by police at two o’clock this morning where he admitted to his intentions. They sent him on his way, resulting in the successful completion of a 3.2 kilometre round swim. Sad face. Persistence has not paid off on this here occasion, young man.
To derive more literal meaning from the song, fast forward to 3:27 where Tay is all “You’re drowning, you’re drowning, you’re drowning” in what is presumably a death wish for trespassing dude, unrealised.
