"I think this might be one of Taylor Swift's best love songs yet? It really shows how much Swift has matured over the years as she sings about the crazy journey it took to find her way to her soulmate. 'Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart. Now I send their babies presents.' You know what we call that? Growth!" — Kelsie Gibson, celebrity and entertainment editor
"Trying to choose Taylor Swift's all-time best bridge is an impossible task, but on this beautiful track about love and fate — with an invisible lifelong string tying Swift to Joe Alwyn all the way across the Atlantic — this one just might come close to the top: 'A string that pulled me / Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar / Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire / Chains around my demons / Wool to brave the seasons / One single thread of gold / Tied me to you.' But it's not just the bridge; the entire song is a masterclass in songwriting and makes me want to run around until I discover my own thread of gold." — Kristin Harris, head of talent relations and celebrity editor
"This song may be about her romantic relationship, but I heard it and related it to every good thing I never expected in my life — my best friends, my dream job, a $20 bill on a road I wasn't supposed to take. Everything happens for a reason, and those are words I live by. It's not just pretty, Swift, it's gorgeous." — Charisandra Perez, social media and partnerships coordinator
