Taylor Swift Pays Tribute to Ex Matty Healy in New “Fortnight” Video
“Loml”: In this emotional track, Taylor reflects on being referred to as the love of someone’s life countless times. However, the situation soon took a turn.
“If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary,” she observes. “What we thought would last forever turned out to be fleeting.”
She concludes the song by telling the individual, “You’re the loss of my life.”
While it may reference her long-term relationship with Joe, hints of “rekindled flames” and reminiscing about being young suggest it could be about her connection with Matty after all these years: “I’ve never felt a glow like this before and never will again.”
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”: The song seems to depict Taylor conquering her Eras Tour despite heartbreak, mentioning how she’s hitting her marks onstage in front of an enthusiastic crowd. She masks her emotions with a brave front: “Lights, camera, smile through it all.”
Although the tune is uplifting, it delves into themes of unreciprocated love.
“I’m so fixated on him, even though he avoids me like a disease / I shed tears often, but somehow remain productive, it’s an art,” she sings. “You know you’re strong when you can persevere even with a broken heart.”
“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”: Taylor poses queries to “the smallest man who ever lived,” who seemingly vanished from their relationship abruptly.
“You turned off the stage lights, yet continue to perform,” she croons. “In plain sight you obscured / But you are defined by your actions.”
