Interpretation
Tell Me Why is the album's most driving track. It grants no excuses, demanding an answer: why do you keep letting me down? That refusal to shrink herself, that right to interrogate, is a hardness rare for early Taylor.
It proves she wasn't only candy-love songs — angry, she could write a rock edge you want to bang the table to.
