Taylor Swift has the tendency to turn tables everywhere she goes. While she has elevated hero status to a whole new level with the grand world tour now better defined as a phenomenon, the Grammy-winning singer has been marking her territory from one album after another. This was also true for her 'Midnights' album. However, fans are still feeling mushy about the one track that they feel they did not appreciate enough, 'Lavender Haze'.

Swift has made a career of rewriting the rules, even on second chances. Therefore, it was only natural that on the second-year anniversary of 'Lavender Haze', fans gathered to reminisce about the greatness that is the song. From wondering how they ever let the song go on without reaching its zenith to how it was a masterpiece, fans were still in their celebration haze.
