【Rebecca Love - Bewitched Housewives (2007)】

"I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you" Taylor Swift sang years ago.

But it seems the Game of Thronesreferences run deeper than just dragon imagery. In a new interview,Rebecca Love - Bewitched Housewives (2007) Swift explains that the HBO juggernaut was definitely in her head while writing reputation.

"A lot of the songs [on reputation] were influenced by the show," she told Entertainment Weekly.

Swift has always written semi-autobiographical music, but between 1989and reputationshe became a Thronesfan and couldn't shake the show's impact.

“These songs were half based on what I was going through, but seeing them through a Game of Thronesfilter. ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ is literally Arya Stark’s kill list," she said, adding that it also has notes of Daenerys and Cersei. (We figured that one out back when the song dropped, if we can pat ourselves on the back for a moment).

She named other explicit examples; "King of My Heart" refers to Daenerys and Khal Drogo (complete with vaguely Dothraki drumming), and "I Did Something Bad" is Sansa and Arya's conspiracy against Littlefinger.

Swift met writers and actors from the show after becoming a fan, but resisted the temptation to share her little secret.

“At the time, I was making reputationand I didn’t talk about it in interviews, so I didn’t reveal that a lot of the songs were influenced by the show," she said.

Per EW, Swift said that reputationexplores not only sweet, sweet revenge, but the desire to find “something sacred throughout all the battle cries.”

“You find yourself identifying with different characters several times an episode,” Swift said, praising the show. “You go from hating someone to loving someone. You see someone as cold, and then you see the reasons behind why they do what they do. I just feel so lucky to exist when Game of Thronesis coming out.”

Don't we all, Taylor.
