Taylor Swift’s Influence on Charlie Puth’s Growth as an Artist in Real Life
“Loml”: In this emotional track, Taylor reflects on being called the love of someone’s life “about a million times,” only for the dynamic to shift unexpectedly.
“If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary,” she observes. “What we thought was forever turned out to be fleeting.”
The song concludes with Taylor revealing to the person, “You’re the loss of my life.”
While the lyrics could pertain to her enduring relationship with Joe, mentions of “rekindled flames” and reminiscing about their youth suggest it may actually refer to her connection with Matty after many years: “I’ve felt a glow like this never before and never since.”
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”: Despite heartbreak, Taylor triumphantly navigates her Eras Tour, noting how she flawlessly hits her marks on stage amidst a cheering crowd. She masks her emotions behind a tough facade: “Lights, camera, bitch smile.”
Despite the 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 kicked out the stage lights, but you’re still performing,” she sings. “And in plain sight you hid / But you are what you did.”
