    Your suggestion, simplified, would be "Her is all over the place," which is obviously incorrect. But "Thoughts are all over the place" does make sense. The subject is "thoughts," which is plural.

    The subject of the sentence is "Her THOUGHTS" - plural. The personal pronoun "her" can refer to one item or hundreds of items, eg, her car, her handbags.

    It's her THOUGHTS that are all over the place, not HER. Eff her.

    Her is a pronoun, not the subject. The subject is "thoughts" and, since it is plural, the proper verb is "are."

    her is NEVER the subject pronoun (that would be she). It is a possessive pronoun here, although it can also be used as an object pronoun. The subject is thoughts, of course.

    her is singular but as the phrase refers to "her thoughts" it would be are as thoughts is plural. It is saying the thoughts are all over the place not that she is all over the place
