Mastermind

My boyfriend loves Chess and he adores that I’m a committed swiftie. Him and I have always been in each others lives, except as background character who became main characters when we crossed paths. So “Checkmate I couldn’t lose” is PERFECT!!

“Nobody wanted to play with me as a little kid” can I go back in time and be your best friend ❤❤❤

I adore the line "checkmate,I couldn't lose" just a masterpiece

I know this song is about a romantic relationship but I feel like I approach friendships like this too. No one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so I've been scheming like a criminal ever since, to make them love me and make it seem effortless....

I love Taylor's song because unlike alot of songs, hers are easy to get into and listen to

A masterpiece by a mastermind ❤

i think over time, midnights will be more appreciated. hopefully, i think its underrated, like this song is really good!! "so i told u none of it was accidental" "You knew i was a mastermind, yeah all u did was smile, cuz im a mastermind"

The bridge is so relatable and amazing

She is a mastermind, i love her so much

I feel like a mastermind listening to this😍

When singing this song I feel like a mastermind its just so beutiful we love you Taylor!

I love you Taylor! This song is incredibly good and catchy💜😭 Keep on going🥹🎉💖

What a coincidence that Taylor’s song mastermind ended up being the 13th track. She is truly a mastermind 🫶🫶💜💜

This is my new obsesion, is so awesome and inteligent I love it 😭💙

Once upon a time, the planets and the fates And all the stars aligned You and I ended up in the same room At the same time And the touch of a hand lit the fuse Of a chain reaction of countermoves To assess the equation of you Checkmate, I couldn't lose What if I told you none of it was accidental And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me? I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork The dominoes cascaded in a line What if I told you I'm a mastermind? And now you're mine It was all by design 'Cause I'm a mastermind You see, all the wisest women Had to do it this way 'Cause we were born to be the pawn In every lover's game If you fail to plan, you plan to fail Strategy sets the scene for the tale I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails And the liquor in our cocktails What if I told you none of it was accidental And the first night that you saw me, I knew I wanted your body? I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork The dominoes cascaded in a line What if I told you I'm a mastermind? And now you're mine It was all my design 'Cause I'm a mastermind No one wanted to play with me as a little kid So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since To make them love me and make it seem effortless This this the first time I've felt the need to confess And I swear I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care So I told you none of it was accidental And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me I laid the groundwork and then saw a wide smirk On your face, you knew the entire time You knew that I'm a mastermind And now you're mine Yeah, all you did was smile 'Cause I'm a mastermind

this is amazing!!!!!!!! my step daughter loves your music!!!

Love this song Taylor is truly a mastermind

This is a such a masterpiece
