'Loaded God complex / Cock it and pull it'? When I heard that, I was like, 'I'm dreaming.'"īest lyrics: "I've gotten used to no one calling my phone / I've grown accustomed to sleeping alone / Still, I know that all it takes is to get it right / Just one time, just one time."Įmma Stone with Taylor Swift in 2008, left, and Kieran Culkin in 2009. Their songwriting really influenced me, lyrically, maybe more than anyone else," she said. Then, in a 2019 interview with Rolling Stone, Swift cited the emo-rock band as one of her biggest inspirations. They also performed together at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She told the crowd that she became obsessed with the song during her freshman year of high school, driving around with her best friend, Abigail.Ī few years later, Swift enlisted Fall Out Boy's frontman Patrick Stump for a surprise cameo during the Red Tour. Trivia: Swift has a long history as a Fall Out Boy fan, starting when she performed an acoustic cover of "Sugar, We're Going Down" on the Speak Now World Tour. "Electric Touch" also includes a lot of Swift's favorite imagery, scenes that reappear many times throughout her discography: a car in the driveway ("Treacherous," "Style"), a metaphorical ghost town ("My Tears Ricochet," "Anti-Hero"), a rain-soaked rendezvous ("Sparks Fly," "How You Get the Girl," "Me!"), and a specific time of night ("Mine," "Enchanted," "Last Kiss," "I Bet You Think About Me," "I Wish You Would"). Here, Swift looks to the future, telling herself that despite her past heartbreaks, "all it takes is to get it right just one time." In "Begin Again," her theory is proven correct: "I've been spending the last eight months / Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end / But on a Wednesday in a café / I watched it begin again." Thematically, it compliments "Begin Again," the closing track on the next album Swift would write, "Red." Lore: Broadly speaking, "Electric Touch" seems to describe the excitement and anxiety before going on a first date. Taylor Swift and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy perform during the 2013 Red Tour.
