Finally, she finds herself on top of a building, and when she falls off trying to avoid being stepped on by the giant men, she falls into the palm of a giant woman, who gently places her -- King Kong-style -- on a street where she's surrounded by nothing but women.

In the song, Swift sings about how her behavior, emotions, attitude and ideas wouldn't be scrutinized and criticized if she was a guy.

\"They'd say I hustled/Put in the work/They wouldn't shake their heads/And question how much of this I deserve/What I was wearing/ if I was rude/Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves,\" she sings.

After noting that if she were a guy, people would believe what she says and she'd never be criticized for bragging about how rich she is, or being a player \"like Leo in Saint Tropez,\" Swift finishes by insisting, \"If I was a man/Then I'd be THE MAN.\"
