Can Taylor Swift rescue the word "lover" from its Will Ferrell/Rachel Dratch SNL legacy?

Slate

Despite Swift’s best efforts with her new album titled Lover, "lover’s pop culture fate has long been sealed," says Heather Schwedel. "For a generation that came of age in the early years of this century, the word will forever be linked to the Saturday Night Live sketches starring Will Ferrell and Rachel Dratch as a couple of horny professors who refer to each other as their 'love-ahs' (sometimes also spelled 'luvahs'; whatever turns you on, babe). Swift’s Lover will likely earn a plum spot on the Billboard charts, and the song may well get lodged in your head, but she’ll never fully reclaim the word. Not even one of the world’s most famous pop stars can wrest lover from its SNL connotation."
