Being an English major has fuckall to do with how well you understand literature anyway. Being an English major with shit reading comprehension was so ubiquitous in fandom at one point that it was memefied.

Like, I'm an English & Writing major whose course choices leaned towards theory and creative writing. I've never studied Shakespeare. We looked at Romeo & Juliet early on in my degree, but I also took on a multiple year break to take care of a sick family member, so I don't remember much of it only that the flowery language pissed me off.

And, like, it kind of works. Ophelia drowned herself because of a shitbag of a man. Taylor's saying that she felt like Ophelia: depressed because of her shitty choice in men, but Travis is such a good one that he saved her from wanted to drown herself. The vignette with the Bubsy Berkeley style girls in bathers with the life preservers plays on that. I get that people want to split hairs so they can feel intellectually superior to her, but she's not wrong.

It's a relatively surface-level use of analogy, IMO, by she's not writing a thesis, she's crafting a chart-topping pop song. It doesn't need to be the kind of analogy that functions from every angle of interrogation.
