## Recepción de la crítica

Jason Lipshutz de *Billboard* clasificó "I Forgot That You Existed" como la decimocuarta mejor canción del álbum y dijo que "Sintiéndose 'en mis sentimientos más que Drake' en la apertura del álbum, Swift pasa la canción de introducción encogiéndose de hombros y literalmente riendo a - sus enemigos ". La producción mínima y elástica refuerza el estado de ánimo lúdico y permite que brille la personalidad de Swift.

## Letra

**[Verse 1]**

How many days did I spend thinking

'Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?

Lived in the shade you were throwing

'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone

And I couldn't get away from ya

In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah

Your name on my lips, tongue-tied

Free rent, living in my mind

**[Pre-Chorus]**

But then something happened one magical night

**[Chorus]**

I forgot that you existed

And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't

And it was so nice

So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed

It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference

I forgot that you

**[Verse 2]**

Got out some popcorn

As soon as my rep started going down, down, down

Laughed on the school yard

As soon as I tripped up and hit the ground, ground, ground

And I would've stuck around for ya

Would've fought the whole town, so yeah

Would've been right there, front row

Even if nobody came to your show

**[Pre-Chorus]**

But you showed who you are, then one magical night

**[Chorus]**

I forgot that you existed

And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't

And it was so nice

So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed

It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference

I forgot that you

**[Bridge]**

Sent me a clear message

Taught me some hard lessons

I just forget what they were

It's all just a blur

**[Chorus]**

I forgot that you existed

And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't

And it was so nice

So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed

I did, I did, I did

It isn't hate, it's just indifference

It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference

So, yeah
