So imagine if TTPD was essentially the breakdown, Showgirl was life after the breakdown, and this hypothetical record was going back through the medical chart once you’re finally well enough to read it. MY THEORY: What if “Patient Zero” is the beginning of an album about healing? Patient Zero is the original Taylor ,the kid with huge dreams, before the heartbreaks, betrayals, disappointments, fame and everything else that changed her. Then throughout the album we meet Patient 1, Patient 2, Patient 3, etc. They seem like different patients but they’re actually the same person at different points in her life. Every time she comes back something has happened to her and she’s a different person from the patient we met before. It could go through the first heartbreak,the first time her expectations were completely demolished, the first betrayal, different relationships, career lows, etc until eventually we reach who she is now:successful, married, and seemingly in a much happier place. Not in a “someone finally saved her” way but in a “every version of me survived long enough to become this version of me” way.
