Taylor Swift Talks About That 'Christmas Lights' Lyric & Why It Was Almost Different

There’s a lyric on Taylor Swift‘s Lover album, specifically in the title song, that had some fans confused and now she is opening up about it… coincidentally just in time for Christmas.

The 30-year-old singer opens the song by singing, “We could leave the Christmas lights up ’til January.” The interviewer for the New York Times remarked that most people leave their Christmas lights up until January.

“I had toyed with the idea of being like, ‘We could leave the Christmas lights up ’til April,” Taylor said.

In regards to leaving them up until January, she said, it’s “not about that being a crazy thing.”

“It’s about how mundane it is. It’s about like, ‘We could put a rug over there. We could do wallpaper, or we could do paint,’” Taylor added. “When young adults go from living in their family to then combining their life with someone else, that’s actually like the most profound thing.”
