Quoting out of context

The article quotes Taylor Swift's commentary about her song 'Style' but does not provide the full context of her statement.

“‘Style’ is a song that I wrote about kind of observing fashion trends and cultural trends and seeing how there are certain things that are constant,” Swift previously shared in a Big Machine Radio commentary.

Include the full context of Taylor Swift's statement about her song 'Style' to provide a more complete understanding.

Cherry-picking data

The article selectively mentions lyrics from Taylor Swift's song 'Style' and Harry Styles' song 'Two Ghosts' to support the speculation that the song is about him.

During the song, Swift also describes the love interest as having “long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt.” For an interesting parallel, when Styles released his first solo album, his song “Two Ghosts” made reference to the “same white shirt, couple more tattoos” — adding to the evidence that it could be about him.

Provide a more balanced analysis by considering other possible interpretations of the lyrics and not solely focusing on the similarities between the two songs.

Omission of key information

The article does not provide any evidence or statements from Taylor Swift or Harry Styles confirming or denying whether the song 'Style' is about him.
