THE hit that got away 

The global smash that got away  

1st single: cardigan

2nd single: the 1

3rd single: exile

4th single: august

 

all these wasted hits deserved better  

This track is probably top 3 if not the best one of her career.

 

She should’ve push it as the main single, it has classic written all over it. It would’ve been her biggest.

 

 

The real SOTY.

deserves 1B

My fave Taylor song.

The way this could've become one of her biggest hits or at least the biggest since Wildest Dreams and she did ****ing nothing for it

 

I'll never forgive her for this 

 

I miss the days when we would get more than 1 single per album 

 

The fact that it's only 30M behind cardigan 

another wasted single 

 

It’s not too late for a reissue miss Tay

she deserves to have flopped single after flopped single for wasting this

No TTH, no live performance at award show, no music video, no T40 radio support 

This song has organic written on it

The career defining song that got away 

Her best song

She needs to Radar this thing and add it to TS10 and release it as a single

Wildest dreams is not even one of her biggest hits... LWYMMD & IDWLF are bigger

I actually agree with this - I love Cardigan, it's top three in her entire work in my opinion (and much better than Exile) but Exile is more digestible and has classic written over it (I always picture Just Give me a Reason when they have a banter of lines in the bridge).

 

Anyway I feel like it will be a cult classic in the long run, same with All Too Well.

Congrats, Tay! <3
