- Hosts: Amy, McCormick, and Liz
- Swift Facts: "Cold As You" started the Track 5 tradition – with Taylor famously putting some of her most emotional and personal songs in the 5th spot on her albums.
- Department Findings: We dive into the background, production, and lyrics of “Cold As You.”
- Another Liz Rose co-written track, Taylor once said she believed this song was one of the best the two have ever written.
- This song is just super depressing four lines in.
- “Cold As You” shows off Taylor’s vocals in a way that reminds us of her later music.
- To quote McCormick, if we were to make a pro/con list “there are no pros” for the “Cold As You” guy.
- Unbalanced power dynamics are a theme throughout a lot of Taylor’s discography.
- Taylor’s use of shades of gray and painting walls appears in other songs such as “Everything Has Changed,” “Peace,” and loosely in “Honey.”
- Taylor Terminology: The word to define and use in a sentence is: Condescending.
