I am once again asking Swifties to understand that Taylor Swift songs and albums are not "about" anyone other than Taylor Swift and how she is thinking or feeling or reacting to any particular stimuli in her life. And that is more true than ever with this album.
I really promise that once you divorce yourself from the concept of "ew this song is about THIS person" and realize that it's all actually just about Taylor, your life will be so much more enjoyable. At the end of the day, the muse has nothing to do with the art.

"This is a song that I think really exhibits a lot of the common themes that run throughout this album, one of which being fatalism, longing, pining away, lost dreams. I think that it's a very fatalistic album in that there are lots of very dramatic lines about, you know, life or death, "I love you, it's ruining my life," these are very hyperbolic, dramatic things to say. But it's that kind of album. It's about a dramatic, artistic, tragic kind of take on love and loss. And Fortnight, I've always imagined that it took place in this American town where the American Dream you thought would happen to you didn't, right? You ended up not with the person that you loved, and now you have to just live with that every day, wondering what would've been, maybe seeing them out, and that's a pretty tragic concept, really. So I was just writing from that perspective."

"A lot of the songs on The Tortured Poets Department deal with the idea of heartbreak, or loss, in a metaphor of something else. The metaphor in Down Bad is that I was comparing sort of the idea of being like, love-bombed, where someone like, you know, rocks your world and dazzles you and then just kind of abandons you, as an alien abduction, where you were abducted by aliens, like this girl was abducted by aliens, but she wanted to stay with them. And then when they drop her off back in her hometown, she's like, 'Wait, no. Where are you going? I liked it there! It was weird but it was cool. Come back' and so she's just like, the girl, the character in the song, just felt like, had just been exposed to a whole different galaxy and universe she didn't know was possible. How can you just put me back where I was before?"

"My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys is a song I wrote alone, and it's a metaphor of, you know, from the perspective of a child's toy, being somebody's favorite toy, until they break you, and then don't want to play with you anymore, which is, you know, how a lot of us are in relationships, where we are so valued by a person in the beginning, and then all of a sudden, they break us, or they devalue us in their mind, and we're still clinging onto, 'No, no, no, you should've seen them the first time they saw me. They'll come back to that. They'll get back to that.' So it's kind of like, a song about denial, really. So that you can live in this world where there's still hope for a toxic, broken relationship."

"Florida!!! is a song that I wrote with Florence + The Machine, and I think I was coming up with this idea of like, 'What happens when your life doesn't fit, or your choices you've made catch up to you?' And there's just, you're surrounded by these harsh consequences, and judgment, and circumstances did not lead you to where you thought you'd be. And you just want to escape from everything you've ever known. Is there a place you could go? I was watching like Dateline. People have these crimes that they commit. Where do they immediately skip town and go to? They go to Florida, you know? They try to reinvent themselves, have a new identity, blend in. And I think when you go through a heartbreak, there's a part of you that thinks, 'I want a new name. I want a new life. I don't want anyone to know where I've been, or know me at all.' And so that was kind of, that was the jumping off point behind, 'Where would you go to reinvent yourself and blend in?' Florida!!!"
— Taylor on Florida!!!
People already ranking songs when I haven't processed a single thing... as if Taylor's works don't marinate... I simply can't serve raw chicken
