Upright meaning
Perception sharpened by experience. She sees through things and says so — kind in substance, unsentimental in delivery. The person who tells you the truth you needed.

Queen of Swords reversed
Clarity gone cold. Bitterness from old wounds, or honesty used to wound rather than clarify.
Reversal does not flip Queen of Swords into its opposite. The same force is present but blocked, turned inward, or overdone — which of the three applies is decided by the cards around it. The keywords shift to coldness, bitterness, harsh words.
In love
A partner who values directness, or the need to speak plainly rather than hint.
