Mastermind Lyrics – Taylor Swift
“Mastermind” is the closing track to the standard edition of Taylor Swift’s tenth studio album, Midnights. She revealed the song’s title and track number in the first video of her TikTok game Midnights Mayhem With Me on September 21st, 2022. Swift reaffirms that she thinks that she and her long-time partner actor Joe Alwyn were meant for each other, but she also schemed and made up a plan to ensure that they would be together. Once she admits this to her lover, he just smiles because he already knew that something like that was in her nature.| Song Name : | Mastermind |

Once upon a time, the planets and the fatesAnd all the stars alignedYou and I ended up in the same roomAt the same time
And the touch of a hand lit the fuseOf a chain reaction of countermovesTo assess the equation of youCheckmate, I couldn’t lose
What if I told you none of it was accidentalAnd the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me?I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockworkThe dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I’m a mastermind?And now you’re mineIt was all by design‘Cause I’m a mastermind
You see, all the wisest womenHad to do it this way‘Cause we were born to be the pawnIn every lover’s game
If you fail to plan, you plan to failStrategy sets the scene for the taleI’m the wind in our free-flowing sailsAnd the liquor in our cocktails
What if I told you none of it was accidentalAnd the first night that you saw me, I knew I wanted your body?I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockworkThe dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I’m a mastermind?And now you’re mineIt was all my design‘Cause I’m a mastermind
No one wanted to play with me as a little kidSo I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever sinceTo make them love me and make it seem effortlessThis this the first time I’ve felt the need to confessAnd I swearI’m only cryptic and Machiavellian ’cause I care
So I told you none of it was accidentalAnd the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop meI laid the groundwork and then saw a wide smirkOn your face, you knew the entire time
You knew that I’m a mastermindAnd now you’re mineYeah, all you did was smile‘Cause I’m a mastermind
