Yes, the Ra Ta Da is what she is saying and she came up with that idea in the middle of the night when she wrote this song. You can see her write this song in a series of videos on YouTube called The Making of A Song, there are about 5 of them and I Did Something Bad is one of them. It is fascinating to watch how she goes about writing the lyrics and developing the melodies and then you get to see her in the studio bringing the song to her producers, she lets them know how she hears it in her head and then you see how the song becomes another hit. I am from Southern California and have lived in California my whole life. I have been listening to Taylor since her first album in 2006, so for about 18 years I have listened to her daily in my home, in my car (she's great in the car), been to all of her concerts, I went to the Erars Tour twice at SoFi in Los Angeles. Amazing and life-changing for me, my daughter who is 35, and 4 other Swiftie friends. I am now 68 and I cringe when they say only young girls like her. The older you get the more you appreciate how relatable her lyrics are and how they can affect you. To say my daughter and I adore her is an understatement. The older she gets the better her voice has gotten and I find it very soothing. I know other women singers are known for their perfect voices but they don't write every single song and they don't get on stage and sing that song while playing guitar or the piano and if she's not playing an instrument it's because she's dancing while singing. I love listening to her songs because she lived it (not some made-up lyrics from writers who have been hired to write songs). She shares her life with us like no other performer has. She tells us all the details even when they are ugly and makes her look sad, crazy, paranoid, angry, and happy. I know she doesn't share everything, but she gives enough of herself to make you feel that you know her in a special different kind of way. I'm so happy you are going on this journey. By the way, she has a song called The Lakes, where she says she wants to run away with her muse, her boyfriend at the time. It's a beautiful but very different kind of song. #TEAMMUSE
