The Viral Trend of Taylor Swift’s Lilac Short Skirt
“Loml”: In this touching track, Taylor reflects on being referred to as the love of someone’s life “about a million times.” However, the situation takes a turn and she observes, “If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendary.” Taylor expresses how what they thought would last forever turned out to be temporary. She concludes the song by conveying to the person, “You’re the loss of my life.” While the lyrics could relate to her long-standing relationship with Joe, the mention of “rekindled flames” and reminiscing about their younger days suggests it may be about her rekindled connection with Matty: “I’ve felt a glow like this never before and never since.”
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”: This song captures Taylor’s resilience as she triumphs on her Eras Tour despite her heartache. She describes how she flawlessly performs on stage in front of an enthusiastic crowd, concealing her emotions behind a strong facade: “Lights, camera, bitch smile.” Despite the upbeat tone of the song, it delves into themes of unreciprocated love. Taylor confesses, “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,” emphasizing the idea that true talent shines even in the face of heartbreak.
“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”: Taylor poses questions to “the smallest man who ever lived,” who seemingly exited their relationship abruptly. She reflects on the individual’s actions, singing, “You kicked out the stage lights, but you’re still performing” and pointing out that despite hiding in plain sight, their actions define who they are.
