Me

The documentary gives us a taste of Swift's Lover album’s lead single, ME! This happens on two occasions throughout the film. The first one is during at an earlier point in the process, when the song is still in the initial stage and what she calls ‘minimal’. She also obtains the help of Joel Little, a producer who is also a collaborator on the album, to produce the beats and sound. As the scene progresses, the words naturally come to her.

Look What You Made Me Do

After her feud with Kanye West, Swift faced major backlash. Taylor had built a belief system on being well-liked and after the incident, she came across hatred from every direction, which took a toll on her both physically and mentally. She also mentions that “nobody physically saw [her] for a year” because that's what she thought people wanted from her. She then reincarnated and took the world by the storm with Look What You Made Me Do. The documentary shows her reflecting on how “the world moves on... another day, another drama”.

Call it What You Want

The documentary shows some soft moments with her beau Joe Alwyn. The documentary shows a scene of the footage from her home where Swift plays the song on the guitar and mouths an “I love you” to the cameraperson, who is Joe Alwyn. Swift runs towards Alwyn after a concert and sings Call It What You Want while mouthing "I love you" to the camera. They opted for a private relationship and Taylor is in a happy place.
