Question... Is Begin Again for me?

Hi, Swifties.
I’m dating a girl who loves Taylor Swift. She told me we should make a playlist together, and she made one, but she only added one song: “Begin Again.” I listened to it and realized that most of the things Taylor sings about actually happened on the few dates I’ve had with this girl, like going for coffee, being punctual, and opening the car door for her.
So, ngl, I think that’s kind of a hint.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Am I crazy or it’s like a kind of sign? I’m asking y’all because I’m not in like this Taylor Swift environment

Begin Again is the ending track off her 4th album Red, which is mostly a breakup album about the different stages of dating a guy who was bad for her and bad to her.

Begin Again is about going through all that pain and then starting to date somebody who is able to restore your faith in the concept of love. I think that is a good sign my dude.

YES 👏👏 Swifties love leaving hints! It would be so fun if you found a way to respond to her, maybe with another Taylor song?

its very swiftie behavior to leave slightly annoyingly cryptic clues. I think it probably means something

As a swiftie myself, if I ever had someone I would 100% do the thing your girl just did. So I'd say yes, it is a hint, part of the reason so many people love Taylor's music is because its autobiographical and super easy to frame into your own experiences

Begin Again is the song I’ve listened to after every first date where I saw potential, so I’d say that’s a good sign!

This is adorable. Add enchanted back. Listen to it first obviously to see if it fits 😂

The song doesn’t mention a car door, but coffee dates and showing up on time are pretty common. I’d interpret it less as “for” you and perhaps indicative of how she wants someone to make her feel.

Personally, I think the idea of making a playlist together likely means that she doesn’t intend to create it by herself. Perhaps the first song evokes her feelings after one date, but she may also have started the list in hopes you would take it as a cue to add some songs yourself. Taking it upon yourself to listen to some Taylor and select songs for the list shows initiative and a desire to engage something she cares about, so perhaps focus your energy there.

Beautiful pick by her. Time for you to add the 2nd song.

It is almost definitely a sign, and it is very definitely adorable.
