The chorus of “Florida!!!” mentions the state being “one hell of a drug” and references using it as an escape. Some lyrics mention the need to forget and the use of the “drug” that Florida is.
Swift also shouted out a city in the Panhandle: Destin. The beach town is mentioned twice in the song, once at the beginning and once at the end, in the lyric, “So you work your life away just to pay for a timeshare down in Destin.”
