About this song
"the 1" is the second single from the album it appears on. It is described as a callback to the folk-leaning moments of an earlier record, and it shares a similar sentiment with "I Almost Do" from Red.
What it's about
The song looks back nostalgically on myths and lost loves. Taylor imagines an alternate life in which her old wishes came true and she ended up in a relationship with an ex-lover.
