“Up On YOUR Roof With A Schoolgirl Crush”

“Up on YOUR Roof with a Schoolgirl Crush”

In the Making of a Song video for “King of My Heart” Taylor sings the lyrics as “with all these nights we’re spending up on YOUR roof with a schoolgirl crush.”

Video - at 6:30.

So who had a rooftop in 2016 when this song was being written?

Lily’s and Karlie’s addresses were public info.

Lily’s Building

Lily’s building had a rooftop for hanging out.

“Up On YOUR Roof With A Schoolgirl Crush”

In a photoshoot she did for Cass Bird and Telegraph magazine, they used Lily’s East Village neighborhood for the shoot, including up on the roof.

Karlie’s Building

Karlie’s two-story building had a garden, garden gate, and balcony but no rooftop to hang out on.

Joe’s Building

Articles report that Joe was living in Crouch End when he met Taylor. I don’t think his place had a rooftop to hang out on from photos of the area.

The Bridge

I’ve written about the “King of My Heart” lyrics in other posts, including the British, model, and wlw references, so let’s just look at the bridge here after the roof lyric.

“Drinking beer out of plastic cups”

Is this a reference to Taylor and Karlie at the Knicks game in 2014? Maybe. But the 2014 era doesn’t seem to match the rest of the song, especially since this line is after “my broken bones are mending.”

“Up On YOUR Roof With A Schoolgirl Crush”

“Say you fancy me not fancy stuff”

Another British 🇬🇧 reference in a song with many British references. So this line could fit Lily or Joe.

The Making of a Song video was recorded in September 2016. The Nashville and LA scenes, including the rooftop lyric scene, were filmed September 19-21. (Link) The song appears to have been started in early September from the Cornelia Street scene at the beginning of the video and some people think it may have been started as early as August. All of this is before September 28.

Taylor Swift Really Said “oh, This Private Life You’ve Been Watching? Yeah, Its Never Not A Performance

Taylor Swift really said “oh, this private life you’ve been watching? Yeah, its never not a performance from inside my fish bowl!” when she blew this popsicle stand.

Taylor Swift Really Said “oh, This Private Life You’ve Been Watching? Yeah, Its Never Not A Performance

“The only way for me to disappear (even while in said endless fishbowl that my life has become) is for me to envelop myself in this lavender haze.”

Taylor Swift Really Said “oh, This Private Life You’ve Been Watching? Yeah, Its Never Not A Performance

(Which she tells us is synonymous with her melancholia… so, sometimes that haze can loom over her as persistent sadness and ill-founded fears…)

Taylor Swift Really Said “oh, This Private Life You’ve Been Watching? Yeah, Its Never Not A Performance

But Taylor has been telling us that despite the sadness, fear, and sense of doom that comes with it, being with her star-crossed lover is the only shade of blue for her.

Taylor Swift Really Said “oh, This Private Life You’ve Been Watching? Yeah, Its Never Not A Performance

And gang, she recently framed this singular blue for us. It’s a “midnight blue,” according to Taylor.

Everyone lost their minds after she said the glitter puke and blood in the “Anti-hero” music video is “midnight blue,” but it wasn’t exactly just gaslighting.

Taylor Swift Really Said “oh, This Private Life You’ve Been Watching? Yeah, Its Never Not A Performance

It’s Taylor meditating on a theme in her life and art—a blue, a sadness,a melancholia that she feels most deeply in the dead of night, lying awake wondering about love, life, and who she is.

It’s also a blue in which she is submerged, in a fishbowl, in a haze, that is the only thing she really believes in despite the big hoax surrounding her (the idea that her lover’s love is faithless being the “Hoax”).

It’s the “true blue” of someone who knows her for her, is loyal, and dives into this life with her despite it all.

Taylor Swift Really Said “oh, This Private Life You’ve Been Watching? Yeah, Its Never Not A Performance

It’s the true blue she bleeds and the true blue that pours out when she spills her guts or the walls come down.

And it’s lavender.

hi there. I don't know if this means anything, but I thought it was interesting. I was curious about the phrase "sensual politics," so I googled it. the top (and basically only) result that appears is a book, Claude Cahun: A Sensual Politics of Photography. anyway, it's about her "life as an artist and writer, a woman and lesbian and as a political activist in the early twentieth century." aside from her approach to art, I found some other interesting stories about her and recommend a search!

Overlooked No More: Claude Cahun, Whose Photographs Explored Gender and Sexuality

Society generally considered women to be women and men to be men in early-20th-century France. Cahun’s work protested gender and sexual norm

Oh wow 😳 very interesting. I looked up her work and it’s very intriguing... this article is a good place to start. It wouldn’t surprise me given Taylor’s history with Loie Fuller.

Most of the Renegade lyrics link back to songs on reputation through evermore, but there is one linking back to 1989’s New Romantics (bJ) which has one of the most under the radar stanzas ever!

Like how is she going to say “we team up then switch sides” in one breath and then “the rumors are terrible and cruel but honey most of them are true” in the next and NO ONE SAYS A DAMN THING ABOUT IT?! 🤯💀

I switched teams too… when I was 22! 😂
