- Melting over Taylor Swift’s lyrics to “Honey” from The Life of a Showgirl? We have a breakdown of what the song’s about.
- “Honey” is about pet names changing for Taylor—from something passive aggressive and condescending, to something sweet.
- No confirmation: but seems like this song is about Travis!
Looks like we have another Travis Kelce-themed song on The Life of a Showgirl! “Honey” is one of the sweetest (heh) songs on the album, and pretttty sure it’s about Taylor Swift letting Travis call her affectionate names like “honey,” “sweetheart,” and “lovely” after years of people using them in a passive aggressive way.
I mean, Taylor straight up sings “You can call me honey if you want,” and then reflects on the other ways pet names have been used towards her—before saying “You give it different meaning.”
Honestly very sweet, could cry, etc. Check out the full lyrics below, via Genius!
You can call me honey if you want because I’m the one you want
Mm-mm
When anyone called me “Sweetheart”
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the bitch was tellin’ me to back off
‘Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me “Honey”
It was standin’ in the bathroom, white teeth
They were sayin’ that skirt don’t fit me
And I cried the whole way home
But when you touched my face
Redefined all of those blues
When you say “Honey”
Summertime spritz, pink skies
You can call me honey if you want because I’m the one you want
Wintergreen kiss, on my
Gave it a different meaning ’cause you mean it when you talk
Honey I’m home, we could play house
We can bed down down, pick me up
Who’s the baddest in the land, what’s the plan?
(What’s the plan?)
You could be my forever night stand
Honey
When anyone called me “Sweetheart”
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the bitch was tellin’ me to back off
‘Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me “Honey”
It was standin’ in the bathroom, white teeth
They were sayin’ that skirt don’t fit me
And I cried the whole way home
But when you touched my face
Redefined all of those blues
When you say
You can call me honey if you want because I’m the one you want
I’m the one you want
You give it different meaning, ’cause you mean it when you talk
Sweetie it’s yours, kicking in doors
Take it to the floor, give me more
Buy the paint in the color of your eyes (Of your eyes)
And graffiti my whole damn life
Honey
When anyone called me late night
He was screwin’ around with my mind
Askin’ “What are you wearin’?”
Too hard to remember in the morning
And when anyone called me “Lovely”
They were findin’ ways not to praise me
But you say it like you’re in awe of me
And you stay until the morning
Honey
When anyone called me “Sweetheart”
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the bitch was tellin’ me to back off
‘Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me “Honey”
It was standin’ in the bathroom, white teeth
They were sayin’ that skirt don’t fit me
And I cried the whole way home
But you can call me honey if you want because I’m the one you want
