Composer’s note
‘Champagne Problems’ is a melancholy ballad about a young woman who finds herself not ready for her lover’s public marriage proposal. Swift describes the song as the one where longtime college sweethearts had very different plans for the same night, one to end it and one who brought a ring. The jilted boyfriend nurses his hurt on the night train while his now ex-girlfriend is condemned by hometown skeptics although she wishes him love with someone new.
Why choose this arrangement? Unlike most versions, this arrangement is composed for intermediate to advanced mixed adult choirs (SATB divisi) without any instrumental accompaniment. Tenors and altos lead the gentle verses and choruses, shifting into densifying harmonic structure as the tale builds through the bridge to its dramatic peak, then gently resolves.
