Babe (Taylor's Version) (feat. Sugarland)

Babe was written for Sugarland — a song about a cheater who blew a winning hand. The re-cut has her sing it, with the original duo along, as if 'this was what I meant all along.'

I love that 'taking back a role I wrote' energy. Given to someone else then, now she's the lead — that 'my words, finally acted out by me' thrill is a top-tier vault feeling.
