When i listen to this song it makes me think of all the times she has reinvented herself and some things she’s said like “I just want to work really hard while society is tolerating me being successful” and the line “I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight” makes me think of how people connect with her lyrics cause they see themselves and their own experiences in her songs. And I think my dear and love are her addressing the fans who support her and want her to succeed cause she says “you are not like the regulars, the masquerade revelers, drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten” like the people who want to see her fail and hate her. They’re the ones who “burned the disco down” but she “stays on that tightrope” trying to keep producing music for her fans as long as they’ll keep listening to it. If that makes sense. Sorry for the long comment
Thank you i got meaning of the song today
Yes, yes and yes! You got it. It’s the same interpretation that I had. In Miss Americana (her documentary) she said something that made me think about this song (“... the end is near...” and “...I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight...”, still doing everything to keep us looking at her...):
"We do exist in this society where women in entertainment are discarded in an elephant graveyard by the time they're 35," Taylor candidly narrated. She explained how young female artists must constantly reinvent themselves to keep working. "As I'm reaching 30, I'm like, I want to work really hard while society is still tolerating me being successful," she concluded.
yes you're right! "tallest tiptoe", "highest heels", trapeze etc indicate how hard she's trying to entertain us and keep us (her fans) engaged with her. she's also referencing how she brings the best out of us. her music makes us happy, sad, angry, nostalgic etc makes us see our different sides.
All your interpretations are actually quite accurate..... How do you do that on a first time listen?👀
Michelle directed me here and I'm grateful because most reactors interpreted Mirrorball in terms of a romance but the analogies don't work. I've seen Mirrorball from its release as Taylor using the circus metaphor for her live shows where after all the support staff (musicians, backup) have gone home, she's still on the stage trying to perfect her art. And the most telling line, imo, is when she says "I've never been a natural, but I try try try". In the early years of her career a number of critics made a point of saying she looks clumsy, often flailing. But Taylor took away their power by coming right out and saying she really can't dance. But she keeps trying.
That is awesome! And stuff like this is the reason I have this channel! Especially Taylor Swift I feel like, because I’ve noticed that she likes to talk reference her past albums. The only reason I know stuff like this, is because of people leaving so much information on the comments ! I’m going to have to make a video or something because I’m super grateful for people like you 🙏🏽
@@ohef17 Thank you. I'm 72 but the magic and magnificence of Miss Swift's writing is that she's written the sound track of my life. The vision she had that inspired Exile is where I'm at right now. But I'll never give up. The intro of her song Change is my ringtone and my life's motto is the line in it 'Cause we never gave in." Even got a customized license plate TS FAN.
"They called of the circus, burned the disco down.
When they send home horses and the rodeo clowns"
Her disco phase is 1989, and Red wad the circus. In reputation, her Ready For It music video had a horse.
People loved and hated her for expressing herself through her music in those phases.
In this album, she did not try so hard to fit all those molds the public demanded of her and scorned her for.
She lost the hope of fitting in, and along with that, he fear.
This song, this album is just symbolic of how she belongs, and she is owning that.
Wow! It’s even deeper than I thought 😲
Called off*
This song is for her fans 😊 She keeps on reinventing and changing herself just to entertain her fans. "I know they say the end is near" is her way of saying that woman in music industry is commonly thrown when they aged 30+. But then she is still doing everything to entertain fans while she was still tolerated and considered successful 😊
Gahd that’s a terrible interpretation of a rather complex song.
@@shimakaido8876 then you may consider looking for other explanation.
I think your interpretation is right, feels like she's talking directly to her fans. I love it when artists do that, Taylor we won't forget about you!!!💖
I saw the long pond studio sessions on Disney+ awhile ago, and in the interview for "mirrorball" she talked about how you can be a different person for everyone you know. You're a different person for your boss, your partner, your mom, or your best friend. For each you might be trying to impress them, especially in the early stages of new relationships. But in different ways. It's a mirrorball, a sphere of different colors that glow in their own special way to make up who you are. That has to do with what she wrote this song about. Trying to impress everyone. It's why she has that line "I can change any part about me to fit in."
Keep safe at all times. And btw your interpretations are spot on.
Hey bud!! Take care of yourself ❤
Doing my best! Thank you! 😅🙏🏽
I hope you are ok!!!!
Taylor didn't do any interviews when the record dropped; but she discusses it in The Long Pond Studio Sessions (Disney+ doc. film). It was written when she cancelled all her appearances for the Lover album tour. She was a performer, with no stage (circus shut down, clowns sent home); the entire 2-album set came about because she didn't tour her last album because of Covid.
Pleaseeee read my comment This is my opinion about mirrorball !!
Okay I think first of all : This song it’s all full of Analogies since the start to the End
Second . Music is Art so Can be seen or be understand in different ways according who’s listening to it ( subjective)
This is something I particularly love about this song might seemed simple (to someone how haven’t understand it)
And for me this song it’s aimed to someone, a person who’s this person shes is singing to.
I think Mirrorball it’s an out loud conversation with herself of to this person about how she see him and maybe
The setting its a prom night apparently in my opinión.
And in my opinion Along the song she’s says and even explains why she’s “ a Mirrorball “
Which I find super romantic, how she described it.
“I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight“
It’s like she will show him, things about him that he might ignore or even don’t know about himself, she will blown his mind basically
Those version can be : how romantic he can be, sweet, passionate, or even his weaknesses (something that happened in long talks with people you starting feel in love so you open yourself and open your heart)
“Hush
When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you”
I think this part it’s about cause when no ones looking she will show him. What love is and how she feel it.
I think cause the more intimate/private the relationship is, she might feel it more pure... more like real... (?) and not because other people it’s around them and she supposed to be cute and sweet with him or so. (Her relationship with her actual partner in fact it’s like this, behind cameras not public at all)
And “the shining just for you “ line, I understand it like she’s there all well dress, beautiful and “shining “ (super happy ) just for him cause his the reason of her happiness
“You are not like the regulars
The masquerade revelers
Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten”
Maybe this lines are about how she sees him vs the other partners or people in the past (doing more analogies.)
He’s not regular, he’s particularly special
And not like “the masquerade revelers “ what that meaning she could have in mind for this I’m not sure yet...”
Well this is a short summary of me dissecting this beautiful song
I mean like you said everyone has their own interpretation! And it makes sense 😲
Thanks for sharing! I like hearing other people’s interpretations 🙏🏽
this song is basically this clip right here from her miss americana documentary: th-cam.com/video/XcxV7URXuFE/w-d-xo.html
Always take careeee we love your reaction viddss
She's trying to catch attention of her loverrrrr!
OMG!! Wow 👏 your amazing thank you 😊
hope you're feeling better
Thank you! All good now 👍🏽
If it wasn't about her I would say that love hasn't worked out but I'm still a believer but I don't know why!! I've never been natural around people. But I try try try. But because I'm afraid to be myself but I keep doing things to keep them looking at me!!
btw hope you're okay
🙏🏽
Hey! I hope you're okay and feel better now ❤
I’m all good now, thank you! 🙏🏽
Are you okay??
I’m good now 👍🏽
