In “Getaway Car,” Swift sings that being involved in a situation involving “the three of us” is an “afterthought,” while “August” is about a teenage love triangle.

“One thing we said about the Eras tour: 'Do you think you can just go online, do you think you can just scroll and know the set list?'” Swift said during her concert in Arlington, Texas in March. “You think you can just prepare with little flashcards [that list the song order and my outfits]? Let it be said about the Eras Tour, we are difficult. That's what we are [and] we enjoy good, healthy setlist hijinks.”
