Thanks for listening to Big Machine Radio as we go through 1989

Taylor Swift's fifth studio album, celebrating its fourth anniversary

This year. And the next song, I think a lot of people speculated

Based on some of the very specific lyrics about who this song was

Written for—or about, I guess I should say. And

Taylor says it actually was inspired by some of

Those trends that never really go out of style

"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 constants. You know, like, things that—you know, you may not

Wear a little black dress for a while, but you're always gonna go

Back to it. No one's gonna say, "Oh, red lips are so two years ago

" There are certain staples. And I started thinking about that in

Terms of a feeling, you know. There are certain feelings like that

There are certain people that float in and out of your life, sort

Of like a trend that keeps coming back in style and never fully

Fades away. Um, and so that was the inspiration behind this song
