You voted and let us know which song should be the clear winner of this weeks Song of the Week. While “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” came in a close second, “Getaway Car” was the clear winner for this weeks challenge. We don’t blame you for voting the way you did. After all, the song is a massive hit, and we’ll be shocked if it never becomes a single.
Why does “Getaway Car” resonate with so many people? Perhaps it’s the clear metaphors and imagery weaved throughout or the incredible journey Swift takes us on. It’s a track that allows the story to take on its own meaning but still surrounds itself around the pain of heartbreak and leaving an ex-lover.
There’s something to appreciate about Swift’s honesty and vulnerability here. It’s evident in “Getaway Car” that she’s not afraid to bare her soul, admit her mistakes, and acknowledge the difficult situations she’s been in and the outcome of those situations. “Getaway Car” is Swift taking responsibility for her actions while baring the pain of heartbreak and running away. It’s a powerful action to model for those who look up to her. Not only is it one of the best tracks lyrically but is production wise as well. Overall, “Getaway Car” is one of the best tracks in Swift’s discography and deserves to be titled Song of the Week.
