“Vigilante Shit” follows a woman who seeks revenge on her lover, presumably someone who has committed a crime. Taylor and the subject of the song ostensibly obtain their revenge following a breakup – instead of getting sad, they get even. The themes of this song heavily parallel “no body, no crime (feat. HAIM)”, which also sees Taylor Swift involved in vigilantism. Musically, this song continues with heavy synths reverberating, never quite building to its climax.
