• What would Jesus’s track 5 story be?
  • Taylor’s track five meaning: On every Taylor Swift album, track five has a very specific meaning. The fifth track is always the most emotional, tear-jerking and vulnerable song on the album. It always follows a sad, heart-wrenching story about Taylor’s past, usually about one of her relationships or her emotions and anxieties in life.
