About this song
Swift explained in a Rolling Stone interview that the song followed a falling-out with another star, which she said involved business rather than a man. Speculation about who the song targets has been widespread, with Katy Perry a popular theory, and Perry seemed to think so herself in a tweet the day after the feature was published.
What it's about
The song is about a feud with a former friend who Swift felt had tried to sabotage her arena tour and poach her staff. Swift says she has had to avoid this person since, which makes her uncomfortable.
