Did you know... that "Dress" was described as "the perfect marriage of [Taylor] Swift's romanticism and newfound lust"?

Comment - I'm not sure a hook that simply recites the lyrics to a song is the most interesting. I see the article includes some commentary on these lyrics; this might be something you could include instead. For example, "... that critics have described lyrics in Taylor Swift's song "Dress" as expressing an evolving attitude towards sexuality?" Or something similar.

@Bneu2013: And here I thought it was a clever hook - buying a dress for the sole purpose of removing it. Ok I will offer another:
@Bruxton: - It wasn't a bad hook, it just reads like a statement of fact without context. Yes, I understand that the lyrics are interesting and catchy, but I could still how someone might think that the particular wording could infringe on WP:NOTLYRICS. I'm okay with the alternate. I'd also be okay with a rewording of the original that reads something like "...that Taylor Swift's song "Dress" is about her purchasing a dress for the sole purpose of removing it?"
