Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about ivy. By Songfacts®.

This song starts off like a Grimm Brothers fairytale, linking into Evermore's woodland aesthetic. How's one to know? I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones In a faith-forgotten land By the chorus it becomes clear Taylor Swift is singing of a married woman's clandestine affair. My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Ivy is an evergreen plant that can climb on masonry to about 100 feet above the ground. Here, Swift is alluding to how her love for her extramarital beau has grown to where she is now "covered in" him. My house of stone, your ivy grows And now I'm covered in you Now Swift finds herself completely enamored with her lover, but she fears what would happen if her husband finds out about their affair. So tell me to run Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become And drink my husband's wine

This is the 10th track on Evermore. "Illicit Affairs," the tenth track of Evermore's sister album, Folklore, also tackles the topic of infidelity.
