Emma Stone’s Character in Taylor Swift’s Tormented Poets Uncovered
“Loml”: In this emotional track, Taylor reflects on being called the love of someone’s life “about a million times.” However, things took a turn and she sings, “What we thought was for all time was momentary.”
She concludes the song by telling the person, “You’re the loss of my life.”
While it may reference her long relationship with Joe, lyrics about “rekindled flames” and being “just kids, babe” suggest it’s about her connection with Matty after all these years: “I’ve felt a glow like this never before and never since.”
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”: In this song, Taylor talks about persevering through heartbreak during her Eras Tour, maintaining her composure on stage in front of a cheering crowd. She masks her feelings by putting on a brave face and singing, “Lights, camera, bitch smile.”
Despite its upbeat tone, the song delves into themes of unrequited love.
“I’m so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague / I cry a lot, but I am so productive, it’s an art,” she sings. “You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heart.”
“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”: Taylor poses questions to “the smallest man who ever lived,” who seemingly exited their relationship abruptly.
“You turned off the stage lights, but you’re still performing,” she sings. “And in plain sight you hid / But you are what you did.”
