Okay I *feel* like I totally understand what โ€œit was maroonโ€ means but I struggle to articulate it. Fellow #Swifties & Maroon Stansโ€ฆ what does it mean? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿท๐Ÿ’‹๐ŸŒน๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿฅ€๐Ÿ“โ˜Ž๏ธ โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿงฃโ‰๏ธ#Maroon #TaylorSwift #TSmidnighTS #itwasmaroon #lovinghimwasred #redtaylorsversion

@Itsmehill

I think she is using the color metaphor, as she so often does ("loving him was red" etc.) to describe how her feelings have deepened. The feeling of a new love is like the color red... intense, striking.... but later on, when it's become the real shit โ€“ deeper, warmer, less garish โ€“ it's maroon...

Love your video, btw! 

@YayForThat that is a beautiful explanation and analysis โ€” thank you so much! โ™ฅ๏ธ It goes well with the theme of #Midnights being a more mature, introspective album. And of course, we do love a TS color metaphor! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Thank you! Happy to hear you liked my interpretation. ๐Ÿ˜€
