  10. 1. It doesnt matter for her the place to play music cause she just love it too much.
    2. she wrote the song to share the way her last boyfriend was and how toxic the relationship ended being.
    3. They arent anymore, you can tell since she is talking in a past tense.
    4. No, it fact it seems that she is quite unlucky. Like she is saying it like its not the first time it has happened to her.
    5. ``I knew you were trouble when you walked in
    So shame on me now´´

    1. Taylor just love playing music, anywhere so it doesn't really matters the place.

    2. She wrote the song because, once, she passed trough a troublesome situation when she met a person.

    3. No, the couple is broken. She starts the song saying "once upon a time" so that's a big clue.
    The song is written in past tenses.

    4. No she isn't. The song doesn't really talk about her old relationships but the truth is that she isn't very lucky with her relationships as we can see in songs like Blank Space or in the introduction of the original video of this song.

    5. "The blame is on me, The joke is on me, I knew you were trouble, So shame on me now..."
    She totally assumes the blame.

    1.She doesn't care, she just loves to play music anywhere.
    2.She wrote the song because she was affected herself by a similar situation, and she wanted to warn us about troublemakers or toxic people.
    3.No, they aren't still together. I know it because she is talking in past.
    4.No,because she's talking like she is the one who fail always, so this makes her romantic relationships do not work.
    5.She uses expressions like: "so shame on me now" , "the blame is on me", "the joke is on me", "i knew you were trouble..."

    1)She prefers playing music in places like on boat, plane, or stadium, wherever because she loves playing music

    2)Because she says that it's fun for her to tell us the stories behind the songs

    3)The couple isn't till together because she is speaking in the past

    4)I don't think so, because the girl knew that the boy had troubles and she didn't care about them and later she suffered because she noticed that she did bad to go with him

    5)In the song, she uses expressions like:
    -Shame on me now
    -I realize the blame is on me
    -I knew you were troubles

    1) She really doesn´t matter the place and I think that´s something most musicians agree! She just loves playing music.

    2) Taylor wrote it because she thinks that it´s find to share the stories behind her songs so some people would feel identified.

    3) No, they aren´t. She says that her song was about -a trouble situation she found herself in- and -it ended up being really interesting-. (question 4)

    4) No, she isn´t... At the beggining she says: "once upon a time, a few mistakes ago" so it means that she has had more than one relationship disaster since that.

    5) She says a few things like: "The blame was on me" or "I knew you were trouble when you walked in; shame on me now".

    This song was a lil bit harder!

  19. 1) Pay attention to the introduction of the song, where does she prefer playing music? why?

    She likes playing music in wherever: in small venues, on a boat, stadium... because she loves it <3

    --------------

    2) Why did she write the song?

    Because she want to tell the story behind the song. She wrote this song for her new album about a troublesome situation that she experienced.

    -------------------

    3) In the song, are the couple still together? How do you know?

    No, they aren´t still together. I know it because she says:
    "You never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything"
    "Flew me to places I had never been till you put me down"
    "Now I´m lying on the cold hard ground"

    ----------------

    4) Could you say that the Singer is usually lucky with romantic relationships?Explain

    I think that she isn´t because the most of her songs are about unrequited love, love-hate relationships, broken hearts,etc. She says "Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago" in the song too.

    ---------

    5) The Singer seems to take full responsability for what happened to her. What expressions does she use to say it?

    "I guess you didn´t care, and I guess I liked that, and when I fell hard, you took a step back"
    "And I realize the blame is on me"
    "Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in, so shame on me now"
    "The joke is on me"

    ------------
