Another detail I adore is the line "Sometimes you just don't know the answer till someone's on their knees and asks you." It's interesting cause when you ask someone to marry you, you get down on just _one_ knee, not "knees". Here, however, he not only got down on one knee to propose, he went down on both of them - as in begging. Representing his helplessness and desperation, imploring her to stay. He's on his knees in front of her.

“one for the money, two for the show i never was ready so i watched you go” The phrase “one for the money, two for the show” is part of a rhyme. The full rhyme goes “one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go” and it basically means ‘ready, set, go’. The narrator didn't continue saying the full rhyme after saying the second verse because they weren't ready to go all the way to marriage amd that's why they said “i never was ready so i watched you go”

"Your Midas touch on the chevy door" Midas is from Greek mythology whom anything he touch turns to gold. So he touched the car and it turned to gold. But can a car go somewhere with gold tires? No. So even tough their relationship was beautiful and golden and shiny, it wasn't moving forward What a genius.

I love the line “sometimes you just don’t know the answer/till someone’s on their knees and asks you”. It’s so heartbreakingly honest that something can hit you all at once.

Has anyone noticed “One for the money, two for the show” based on children’s rhyme? “One for the money Two for the show Three to GET READY And four to GO” Taylor Swift - Champagne Problems “One for the money Two for the show I NEVER was READY So I watch you GO” She turned a children’s fun rhyme into an emotionally sad lyrics. Just pure GENIUS !

She’s gotten to the point where she doesn’t need big production to her songs, without filters. she just wants to make beautiful music and she’s doing it the best way possible

Voice of a generation? The sound of Girl Culture? I'm a 62 year old man and so many of Taylor's songs just tear me to pieces

Its March 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song💖

The saddest part is when she says “you won’t remember all my champagne problems” at the end. The guy will eventually move on and resent the narrator whom he proposed to, not remembering what she went through but he will never forget how she hurt him. And the lyric implies that she will love him forever, while by the time she is ready he has moved on…

the fact that taylor said she’d probably be an english teacher if she wasn’t a singer, now i see why

A long time ago I left my high school boyfriend behind on a different continent to start a new life in America. I went back last year for our 30th HS reunion, and when this song played at one of the parties, we just stared at one another across the room for 4 minutes. No words were needed. Fortunately we are both happily married with children now, and friends with each other too, but boy did this masterpiece bring back all those memories and emotions of young, intense love that never had its happy ending. Taylor Swift, such a poet and a skilled storyteller!

My wife tells me that at my age (just turned 70) I'm too old to be a Swiftie. She might be right, but I have just discovered this song, Champagne Problems, and I was gobsmacked by it. Gratifying to see a video that actually added to, rather than detracted from, the sublime beauty of the lyrics and her wonderful, wonderful voice. I may be old, but I'd rather like to be a Swiftie, also.

“she’ll patch up your tapestry that i shred” i’m not usually touched by songs that i can’t relate to, BUT THIS? OMG

Normal people: "we lost our friends" Taylor Swift: "how evergreen our group of friends, don't think we'll say that word again"

the pain in this song is unreal. yes, it must've torn the boyfriend character, but it shredded the girlfriend as much. it comes down on you i feel like on the spot, maybe it was too early to propose, maybe she didn't like him very much, but to see how she got replaced for not being ready is heartbreaking. evermore makes folklore seem full of joy

If there's a 10 minute version of this one Taylor.... we're gonna need it. Thanks!

"Champagne Problems" is a song about how a person is preparing to propose to their lover. The person has already informed their family and their friends, who are all ready to celebrate and applaud once the engagement was done. The person is using their mother's ring to propose. The person even prepared what to say when they would propose. But before they could say anything, the lover ran away, because the lover thought that they weren't enough for the person. The lover couldn't give a proper reason as to why they can't marry the person. The lover says that they didn't know what to answer until the person went down on their knees. Everyone says the lover would have made a lovely bride, but it's a shame that they're already confused and conflicted on their own. Because the lover turned him down, the person booked a night train to get out of the place, so they could sit there all alone while hurting. The lover says one day that the person will find someone else who will say yes to them. Someday their friends group ( they are not sure they'll ever be able to say "our friends" again, because they won't be able to face the person or any of their friends) will get over the initial shock and then maybe one day they'll deck the halls again for when the person feels ready and finds someone to propose to again who will say yes for sure. This problem, that the lover broke the person's heart might not be a nationwide issue or that big of a deal to most people, because soon everyone will move on and forget all about it. The person and lover included. But at the moment, it does seem like a big problem. Taylor is a literary genius♥

English: “She’ll fix your broken heart” Taylor Swift: “She’ll patch up your tapestry that I shred”

one thing i really admire about her songs is that she cannot only write from the perspective of the person hurt but also who hurt them! and i literally think thats so creative. ❤ ❤

This should be taught in literature class. I mean WOW how she captured the whole story in a poetic song ❤️😭

This woman is iconic, she didn’t lie when she said she comes back stronger than a 90s trend

“bustling crowds or silent sleepers you’re not sure which is worse.” this part is so brilliant. to think that sometimes, we don’t know if we want to be with people so we won’t feel lonely or be alone but we feel lonely.

This is my all-time favorite Taylor song. It’s literally perfect, and it tells such a beautiful yet gut-wrenching story of a man who proposed and a woman who wasn’t ready to say yes.

Just a bit ago, me and my ex ended our 4-month relationship. He's a big Swifties and because of it, I got to listen to Taylor's music a lot more. One of our last words before saying goodnight and putting an end to us, he told me to listen to champagne problems. Now that he is sleeping, I finally listened to this song and got to know his side of our break-up more and more. He knows that breaking-up would be the best for both of us. I know that he still has feelings for me and will want the best for me. If you got to read this comment, I want you to know that I will remember your "champagne problems" and "I was enchanted to meet you" and most importantly, I truly wish all the best things for you. Always. 💮🍰

"Your Midas touch" Midas is from Greek mythology whom anything he touch turns to gold.

**me still trying to process the Rep era** taylor: evermore

I think alcoholism is one of the hardest additions to beat. Your whole life you will be surrounded by it. It's everywhere. Pubs, bars, clubs, holidays even family events. One of the hardest things someone will ever have to go through and I applaud anyone who is strong enough

Wife and son dragged me to Kansas City last Friday (July 7th 2023) concert. Was familiar with many songs (not this one) but wouldn’t have called myself a fan. Damn, the concert was absolutely incredible! Damn near religious experience. So now revisiting the songs I’d not heard before.

there’s just something that hits different with this song. ever since the first listen. the melody, the piano, the lyrics... from the start to the end, it’s a complete masterpiece. i don’t want this song to end- the build up in the bridge, the transition from “i dropped your hand while dancing” to “she’ll...hold your hand while dancing”, the emotion conveyed in her voice, it’s all indescribably beautiful. and i haven’t even been in a relationship, yet this song makes me cry! 🥲 the storytelling with the whole album is just phenomenal.

She's not just a singer, she's a therapist.

"Your heart was glass, I dropped it." I just love that lyric

I love how she says, "my picture in your wallet" in the beginning and then she says, " her picture in your wallet" at last. How the situations remain all the same, but the person changes and we move on, forgetting their Champagne Problems...

Brothers and sisters, we have gathered here together to choose pain.

Normal people: I was cold and he gave me his jacket Taylor Swift: November flush and your flannel cure

the line "You have a speech, your speechless" is so me when presenting Infront of class:)

"and I wouldn't marry me either"

taylor keeps proving she could write a musical with ease but she just doesn't want to

This song is so depressing but I can’t stop listening to it

2024, lets see how many fans are listening to this masterpiece!🧡 👇

this will always be my fave song in Evermore. lying on the bed, wide awake, while imagining painful scenarios of the past but also being numb about it.

This song describes the whole scene. You can dream a whole movie in your mind. And that's the best part of it. Her lyrics are so describing and it makes the listener get lost in the imagination. The bridge is so deep. Every lyric has a deep meaning. Starting from "midas touch" to "november flush and your flannel cure" to "dorm was once a madhouse" to "evergreen our grp of friends don't think we'll say that word again" to "deck the halls we once walked through" to the nursery rhyme "1 for the money" to "she's stucked in the head" to the ending. Everything is deep!! And TAYLOR SWIFT IS A GENIUS.

*"You had a speech, you're speechless"* lyrical. Genius.

yeah this song is freggin underrated. And I hope it stays lik that so ppl wont ruin it by using it in every reels and evry videos. We want this song to live only in our hearts

i bet she's never gotten anything less than an A on her school essays

didn’t think a single song in taylor’s discography would ever top all too well...i’m honestly torn between the two now. this is magical. it’s so heartbreaking but i can’t stop listening to it. this girl is SO talented.

I love how after she says “I couldn’t give a reason” there’s a break in the lyrics for her to “run away to the train”

" You'll find the real thing instead... She's patch up your tapestry that I shred" WHAT BEAUTIFUL LINES

"“champagne problems” tells the story of a woman who shocks her would-be fiancé and their loved ones by turning down a marriage proposal right before Christmas."

Normal people: "I broke your heart." Taylor Swift: "Your heart was glass, I dropped it."

Its July 2024 and lets see how many legends are still listening to this masterpiece.

Ok but seriously, I can never hate Taylor. She's just amazing and the way she wrote those lyrics as they're perfectly describing my life somehow, is just incredible. I can't believe such a perfect song's exist❤

damn this girl is a straight lyrical genius. nothing less.

She's been known for writing songs about her exes, and now she writes song with her boyfriend, help me im crying.!!!

Normal people: My friends are gone Taylor swift: "How evergreen our group of friends, don't think we'll say that word again" Taylor swifts artistry is amazing. 💖❤

It’s 2024 lets see how many people are here listening to this MASTERPIECE

I frickin love this songgg she’s a lyrical genius

Normal people: humiliated Taylor Swift: crestfallen on the landing

Sometimes it’s better to leave a relationship unfinished and give that person pain for a little while than to keep that person strangled in a relationship where both the people are unhappy and suffering.

At the Eras Tour film I burst into tears when this song came on. I have no idea why. It has no memory significance. The piano and her voice are in the same key as my soul. It strikes such a chord my emotions are no longer my own.

"this dorm was once a madhouse" i made a joke, "well its made for me."

The fact that this is one of the most saddest songs of the album. She wrote it while being in a happy relationship. Now this is what I want

Students studying this for poetry in 2055 be like: “this is quite elegiac”

English:He opened the car door for me Taylor:”Your Midas touch on the Chevy door”

Who's here after realizing that the narrator/bride who denied the lover's wedding proposal was actually Joe's perspective? 😢

Normal people: I broke his heart Taylor Swift: Your heart was glass I dropped it

The fact that this sad song was written with her current boyfriend tell you how secure their relationship.

Usually, I don’t listen to Taylor Swift but something about this song just hits different

This song really hits hard 😢 especially the beginning

From “love story” to “champagne problems” we all grew up

wanna broaden ur vocabulary? listen to taylor swift’s music.

I love this song so much. It's one of my favorite songs by Taylor. It's impeccable and so well written.

no matter how i listen to this song, i cry. i know this song will get me through things in the future. i love it with all my life.

normal people: it was cold and he gave me his jacket taylor swift: november flush and your flannel cure

"How evergreen, our group of friends" Shes using evergreen trees (Trees that dont loose foliage at any time of the year) as a metaphor to show that the ones closest to her never lose their color, they never strip away to something or someone different. They shine year round to her.

Im an old lady who hasn't listened to her yet. She's such a bright star I had to give her a shot. This song is beautiful. Carry in little bird ❤

This song shows how brilliant TS and Joe is. She will never find someone like him.

I feel terribly bad for the people who never heard of this song

Joe Alwyn is actually credited with co writing this song with her (under the pseudonym William Bowery) and some others as well. So, thank Joe for being a very talented writer/poet as well as one of Taylor Swift’s all time greatest muses. We love you Joe! 😂❤

I just heard this song today for the first time. On the radio and I had no idea who sang it. I actually thought it was jewel. I looked it up and then was really surprised that it was Taylor swift. I've never really listened to Taylor Swift music before but anyways I really loved the song and I'm so mesmerized by Taylor singing voice I had no idea. What a sweet surprise and treasure I'll be sure to catch more Taylor Swift songs from here on out😂😂😂😂

What "exile" is to folklore, "champagne problems" is to evermore.

the way she saved 2020 not once, but TWICE

one of her best songs... no one can tell me otherwise

One of the best songs on evermore

All too well: “maybe this thing was a masterpiece before you tore it all up” Champagne problems: “she’ll patch up your tapestry that I shred”

popular opinion : this is one of the best Taylor's song among all of her discography

2:25 YOUR MIDAS TOUCH ON THE CHEVY DOOR

One of the most beautiful sad songs I ever heard from Taylor

Normal people: She’ll mend your heart that I broke Taylor Swift: She’ll patch up your tapestry that I shred

Just realized this song regarded a woman's remorse and sorrow after rejecting her partner's proposal. It somehow makes this song more beautiful.

this song got an 8-minute standing ovation. Taylor freaking swift

I JUST BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE ERAS TOUR IN BRAZIL AND I'M CRYING AND JUMPING IN JOY! 😭😭😭 This has nothing to do with this song, but champagne problems is one of my favourites so I came here to celebrate 🥺

The fact that she wrote this with Joe is just-🥺 They literally cosplay breaking up for fun LMAOO

This feels like the lovechild of New Year's Day and The 1.

Who's here after "you're loosing me"?

Listening to it again now feels different 😢

i absolutely love that she used "tapestry" among all other things. tapestries are cultivated with such detail, and once ripped, the damage is almost irreversible. the tapestry of love that they've created took a lot of time, effort, and patience. she's aware that even if someone will patch it up, the scar that she left will be there, always.

“Sometimes you just don’t know the answer, til someone’s on their knees and asks you.” I can’t even begin to explain how relatable this is. Sometimes you really don’t know what you want until you’re forced to make a decision.

I'm 50 and a Taylor Swift fan. With love from Russia, Moscow.

It seems to me that in 2019 Joe and Taylor thought they were ready to get married and then when he asked she said no and didnt know why. So they stayed together through the pandemic maintaining a relationship thinking mayb Taylor would be ready but she never was. Thats probably why so many of the songs are abt doubts and breaking up in most of the songs in Lover, Folklore and Evermore. I never believe a lot of what Taylor says. She is as cryptic as her songs. For some reason some of you think that her songs are always abt one specific relationship. In the beginning when she was first writing songs thats probably true. Now tho she has had lots of relationships and friends in relationships and so her songs are more likely a combination of all of it.

“Your heart was glass, I dropped it...” What a heartbreaking lyric...
