Be kind to the elderly. 

And in Taylor’s previous album Folklore, she commemorated her grandfather, In “epiphany“, Swift tells the story of her grandfather Dean while he’s in the military, witnessing death all around him and experiencing the violent nature of war. “Keep your helmet, keep your life, son/ Just a flesh wound, here’s your rifle/ Crawling up the beaches now,” she sings deliberately and with a gut-punch. Then in the second verse, Swift relates her grandpa’s traumatic experience to the current catastrophe that the world is dealing with at the moment – the pandemic. She explores the topic of pain from witnessing death all around from the perspective of medical professionals. “Someone’s daughter, someone’s mother/ Holds your hand through plastic now/ Doc, I think she’s crashing out.”
