![]() ![]() And all this begs the question: Who did Taylor Swift write "I Can See You" about? It lives with songs like "Style" and "Dress" in a special, cherished playlist of horny Taylor songs that wouldn't be written in glitter gel pen or with an old-timey quill, but with red lipstick on a bathroom mirror. To put it bluntly, "I Can See You" is a sexy song. Yes, the sound is edgier and hard to imagine blasting on 2010 country radio, but it's the lyrics that feel most out of their Era. In 2023, with the benefit of hindsight, it feels like a kind of crystal ball that was forecasting her future. In 2010, "I Can See You" would have been a great song. "I Can See You" lacks many of the hallmarks of Taylor's Speak Now era songwriting and it does so conspicuously and consciously. We all thought she was going to zig, so Taylor zagged. While the Swiftiverse was busy obsessively wondering if the Speak Now vault was full of scathing John Mayer diss tracks, Taylor Swift was quietly prepping for the rollout of "I Can See You," perhaps the least Speak Now-y song on Speak Now (Taylor's Version).
