In The Archers' third song deep-dive episode (following The Archer and New Romantics' Queer analyses), Katie and Madyson read the haunting and cold lyrics to Cowboy Like Me line by line and discuss a mosaic of Queer interpretations of the story. They mention how the lyrics connect to other Queer songs referencing cowboys, and connect the song's first line to Lorde's "Tennis Court". They connect the song to Taylor's themes of bearding and closeting, and prove why the song is one of her most Queer songs in her discography. What is a Sagittarius if not a Cowboy on a horse?
