As a long-time Swiftie, I must say that Taylor Swift has once again proven her mastery of storytelling and emotional depth with her latest album “The Manuscript”. Each song is a captivating journey into her complex relationships, personal growth, and the trials and tribulations she’s faced throughout her life.
Though Taylor Swift bid farewell to London, it doesn’t imply that the moments she shared with Joe Alwyn are now distant memories.
Even though they separated in April 2023 following six years together, there will continue to be numerous mementos of their relationship, and observant fans have found one such reminder in a recent sneak peek into the production of the Bejeweled music video.
On December 13th, Taylor Swift was seen in a YouTube video, two years after the initial release of her music video in October 2022. During the filming of a scene, she was holding her phone, and as she gave directions to an actor, her phone’s screen lit up, revealing her chosen wallpaper.
During the time when the filming took place, several months prior to Joe and Taylor’s split, Taylor had a photo of them snuggled together set as her phone’s wallpaper. In this image, Taylor rested her head on Joe’s shoulder, her arms embracing his chest while he held onto her legs.
Meanwhile, Taylor appears to be content with her current partner, Travis Kelce, but for some fans who recognized the nod towards her previous romance, their emotions were stirred once again.
“One user commented on the YouTube video, ‘The wallpaper with Joe Alwyn still makes me tear up,’ while a fan account posted, alongside an image from the moment, a nod to Taylor’s Tortured Poets Department lyrics, ‘My cherished phantom and I in a tree.’
It’s been pointed out that many songs on the Grammy winner’s new album seem to touch upon her relationship with the beloved actor. For instance, the song “So Long, London” depicts their shared experiences in London and hints at the cause of their separation.
In the song, Taylor sings, “You promised me love, but where were the signs?” She expresses her confusion and frustration by saying, “I gave my all, waiting for some proof of your affection. You seemed to prioritize your own happiness over us, sacrificing our relationship to the gods of your happiest moments. Now, I’m regaining my color again, but I’m furious because I loved this place we shared so much.
Joe waited more than a year before speaking publicly about their separation, at which point he opened up about managing relationships under the spotlight.
In my personal experience, I can honestly express that it’s my heartfelt wish for everyone to feel and comprehend the challenges that arise from the conclusion of a long-standing, deeply affectionate, unwaveringly committed relationship spanning over six and a half years. This journey is indeed tough to traverse.
In a conversation about dating one of the world’s top artists at age 33, they remarked, “It’s peculiar and unconventional that just a week after, this personal matter has become a public topic, allowing everyone else to pass judgment on it.
And Joe emphasized that neither him nor Taylor will reveal what truly ended their relationship.
He explained, “Suddenly something authentic finds itself in an artificial environment: tabloids, social media, news outlets, where it’s scrutinized, speculated about, distorted beyond recognition. The reality is, to put it bluntly, there will always be a divide between what is fact and what is spoken. I have come to terms with that discrepancy.
Additionally, as planned from the start by both parties, certain aspects about the Kinds of Kindness star will remain confidential and undisclosed.
He clarified that, just as you might expect, we both agreed to maintain a level of privacy in our relationship, preferring not to share intimate details with others. To me, it’s not something we should exploit for gain, and I don’t intend to alter that approach at this time.
For more of the relationship easter eggs in Taylor’s The Tortured Poets Department, keep reading.
In the opening song of TTPD, Taylor Swift and Post Malone harmoniously sing about a brief, two-week-long fling they experienced together.
“And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” the lyrics tease. “I touched you, for only a fortnight.”
It seems the song is hinting at Taylor’s renewed relationship with Matty Healy from The 1975, a romance that started back in 2014 and was rekindled in the spring of 2023 following her split with Joe Alwyn, ten years after their initial connection.
Despite the short-lived nature of Taylor and Matty’s rekindled romance, their connection was deeply emotional, as suggested by these lyrics – a sentiment that resonates profoundly within me.
She told iHeartRadio the opening number is “fatalistic” just like the rest of the “tragic” album.
“The Tormented Writers Section”: Previously, fans noted a similarity between the album name TTPD and Joe’s WhatsApp group chat called “The Tortured Man Club”. However, it’s worth mentioning that the title track itself incorporates references to Matty.
The first lyrics of the song subtly reference Matty, as he expressed his fondness for typewriters in a 2019 interview with GQ.
Toward the end of the song, the lyrics provide a deeper understanding of the close relationship between Taylor and Matty. Taylor reminisces, “During dinner, you remove my ring from my middle finger and place it on the finger where wedding rings are worn. And that’s the most I’ve felt my heart about to burst.
In my creative endeavors, I occasionally pay tribute to the greats who inspire me. For instance, Taylor’s lyrics echo references to poet Dylan Thomas, acknowledging that I’m not him. Similarly, she nods to singer-songwriter Patti Smith, recognizing our different paths. And, in a nod to Charlie Puth, she expresses a desire for his artistry to reach even greater heights, as he smoked and then consumed seven chocolate bars.
“Taylor croons about her knack for building unbreakable sandcastles that her boy always manages to destroy on the third track of the album. The lyrics reflect a past companion who left their connection behind.”
The lyrics imply, “Because I knew too much, there was peril in my very presence.” Translation: “He could see a future that scared him, and so he destroyed it.
The Grammy-winning artist shared with iHeartRadio that the song is a symbolic representation seen from a child’s toy’s viewpoint. In this scenario, the toy gets broken and no longer wants to be played with – much like in relationships where initially we feel highly valued. It delves into the denial of accepting that the romance can’t revert back to its initial stage.
In the year 2019, through her song “Cruel Summer”, she likened lovers to prized toys and sang lyrics such as “You’re a problem child, expensive trinket with a cost / You’re aware that I paid for it.
“Feeling Disappointed”: In the words of this tune, Taylor expresses her feelings of letdown when a man she was deeply smitten with, whom she refers to as her ‘twin,’ suddenly disappeared without a trace.
She expresses indignation by singing, “How audacious of you to consider it romantic / To abandon me securely stranded.” In essence, she is saying, “I don’t care if it was love / I curse the day we met if it means I can’t be with you now.
In a way reminiscent to Taylor Swift fans (Swifties), the phrase “stranded” might seem familiar, as she employs it in her 1989 track “New Romantics”: “Would you mind if I stayed here stranded? It’s quite romantic.
Taylor confessed to iHeartRadio that the song “Down Bad” equates the sensation of being “love bombed” – where someone captivates and enchants you, only to leave you behind – to an experience of alien abduction. The artist explained that when her character was returned to her hometown, she yearned for the peculiar world she had left behind.
Taylor expressed that they’ve recently discovered a completely new cosmic realm, far beyond what they thought existed. They’re finding it hard to comprehend returning to their previous state of ignorance about this newfound universe.
Taylor often assigns her most emotional tracks to slot number five, and indeed, “Farewell, London,” is a perfect match for this category.
As I ponder my past, I find myself reminiscing about a special chapter in my life – the time spent with a certain someone who once filled my heart with London’s magic. We shared moments in this city that will forever be etched in my memory, and now, I can’t help but reflect on the factors that ultimately led us to part ways.
She expresses, “I didn’t choose to be the odd one among you,” as she sings. “I started a club with a fantastic reputation / I gave up everything I was familiar with, and yet, you abandoned me at the house near the Heath.
Taylor finds herself in a raised-brow situation as she spends time with Matty, known for his contentious remarks throughout the years. In her song “But Daddy I Love Him”, she tackles a parallel topic – striving to make a relationship succeed amidst criticisms and disapproval from the outside world.
“No I’m not coming to my senses,” she declares. “I know it’s crazy but he’s the one I want.”
“Out of Prison and Ready to Call”: After ending her lengthy relationship with Joe, Taylor instinctively knew whom she wanted to reach out to: Matty.
“I did my time,” she sings. “Now pretty baby I’m running back home to you.”
She’s previously referred to her lover as her “jailer” during reputation‘s “Ready For It.”
Looking for a getaway? Consider Florida, as suggested by Taylor and Florence Welch in this tune.
“You can beat the heat if you beat the charges too / They said I was a cheat, I guess it must be true,” Taylor sings, referencing speculation about her personal life. “And my friends, all smell like weed or little babies / And the city reeks of driving myself crazy.”
Option: “To escape my memories, could you possibly bring me to Florida? My sorrows are piling up, and I aim to lay them to rest there.
Taylor explained that the song was actually inspired by true crime sagas about escaping town.
As a lifestyle advisor, I find myself often reflecting on the captivating stories presented on shows like Dateline. It’s fascinating how individuals, in various situations, yearn for change. They might flee to places like Florida, seeking a fresh start and a new identity, hoping to seamlessly blend into their new environment.
One last secret about “Florida!!!”? Taylor’s pal Emma Stone helped write the song.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: “Following in Matty’s footsteps, Taylor kicks off ‘Guilty as Sin?’ with lyrics that echo his affection for The Blue Nile’s ‘Hats’, released back in the 1980s. Specifically, the lines, ‘Drowning in the Blue Nile / He sent me downtown lights,’ seem to be a subtle nod to Matty’s admiration for this classic album.
In this powerful song, Taylor addresses her critics with the line: “Who thinks they can intimidate little old me?
In this tune, Taylor expresses her conviction that she can assist in transforming another person, disregarding anyone who doubts it.
1) “The smoke puffs from his mouth, spreading wide like a steam engine in a quiet village,” she croons. “The jokes he shared at the bar were off-putting and excessively loud.
They express disapproval by shaking their heads and murmuring, “‘Oh dear, may she find strength,’ when I mention he’s my partner,” the song goes on. “However, your higher power doesn’t have to intervene / I can mend him, yes, indeed I can / And no one else can do it quite like me.
In this soulful tune, Taylor initially expresses that she has been referred to as the “one they love a million times.” Yet, the situation evolved afterwards.
She remarks, “If something is instantly recognizable, it’s iconic.” “Things we considered eternal were fleeting instead.
She ends the song by letting the person know, “You’re the loss of my life.”
The lyrics might suggest that her connection with Matty is the source of this unique, unparalleled warmth she has experienced, rather than her past relationship with Joe. Put simply: “This kind of warmth I’ve never known before or since.
‘I Can Persevere with a Shattered Heart’: The song seems to convey Taylor triumphantly performing her Eras Tour amidst heartache, asserting that she’s nailing every performance in front of an enthusiastic audience. She conceals her feelings by projecting strength: ‘Spotlights, camera, steely grin.’
Though this song is upbeat, it’s filled with lyrics of unrequited love.
I can’t hide my devotion for this man, yet he seems to keep his distance as if avoiding me at all costs. Yet, somehow, through the tears and longing, I find myself incredibly productive – it’s like a secret art I’ve discovered within myself. And to top it off, even with a heart that’s shattered, I manage to create something beautiful. That’s when you truly know your talent.
Taylor is curious about the tiniest individual known to have walked the earth, as he mysteriously ended his relationship without any prior notice.
She croons, “You knocked over the spotlights on stage, yet you keep performing,” implying, “In broad daylight, you concealed yourself, but your actions define who you are.
In the composition titled “The Alchemy”, Taylor, after parting ways with “the circus troupe”, seems to be alluding to her NFL athlete boyfriend, Travis Kelce, by making various sport-related references throughout the piece.
In a fresh and conversational style, let me rephrase that for you: “Taylor croons, ‘It’s been ages since I was here, but I’m making a powerful comeback.’ When I arrive again, it’s time to weed out the beginners and trim them from the squad.
Later, she mentions her old companions who are “keeping seats warm,” hinting at our current run of victories.
The closing track of the album subtly references Taylor Swift and the iconic actress Clara Bow, both of whom experienced extensive public interest and conjecture throughout their lives, in its lyrics.
“It’s hell on earth to be heavenly,” Taylor sings. “Them’s the brakes, they don’t come gently.”
The lyrics likewise highlight the contrasts drawn among women who are under the public gaze, referencing figures like Clara, Stevie Nicks, and Taylor themselves.
The song seems to be comparing someone to Taylor Swift under certain lighting conditions, stating that they share a resemblance and are captivating, just like how we feel about it. It suggests that this person possesses an edginess that Taylor Swift never did, and their future appears radiant and shining brightly.
“The Dark Pub”: The artist laments the distance she now feels from her ex, who were once confidants, as she sings, “I was someone to whom, up until recent times / You shared your deepest secrets / And your whereabouts / You neglected to change your location / And so I observe as you enter some pub called The Dark Pub / And inflict fresh wounds upon my heart.
Fans think that her choice of outfits hint at the fact that she may have written a song about her grief following her split from Joe, as they noticed she wore an outfit similar to one seen in a behind-the-scenes video of her recording the track on May 18, 2023, and then wore the same or very similar outfit out in New York on that same date. This could imply that she wrote the song before the news of her breakup with Matty became public in June 2023.
In my enthusiasm as a devoted Swiftie, I’d like to express gratitude for the unexpected gift at 2 a.m., an extraordinary double album filled with 15 more Tortured Poet songs! It didn’t take long for fellow fans to notice Kim Kardashian’s name in the title of “thanK you aIMee.
In a clear and conversational manner: “Taylor sings as if recalling an unfair and ungentlemanly encounter, ‘Aimee stomped across my grave,’ which some interpret as a reference to the controversial phone call between her and Kanye West that Kim shared online in 2016. Later, Taylor writes headlines for the local paper, mocking every small move I make.
However, according to the song lyrics, Taylor has become stronger: “While you were throwing blows, I was constructing something / And I couldn’t wait to reveal it was genuine / Shouted ‘F–k you, Aimee,’ to the night sky as the blood flowed / Yet, I can’t erase the way you helped me heal.
Taylor appears to equate her love tale with Travis to an enchanting, almost nostalgic high school romance.
She croons, “Will we get married, share a kiss, or have an encounter? It’s just a playful guessing game, but in truth, I’m hoping for all three possibilities between you and me.
In an old viral video, Travis was posed the popular game of ‘kiss, marry, kill,’ involving Taylor, Katy Perry, and Ariana Grande. (He expressed that he would kiss Taylor and marry Katy.)
In “So High School”, Taylor subtly hints at Travis assisting her by opening car doors for her, and even mentions the time she rode in a convertible with him following one of his football games, adding, “How thoughtful! Open the car door for me. Then, he guided me to the backseat.
Not to mention this mic-drop: “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle.”
This song draws inspiration from the ancient Greek seer Cassandra. As stated by the Brooklyn Museum, “Apollo, smitten by her, bestowed upon her the gift of foresight; however, after she spurned his advances, he cursed her so that no one would ever believe her prophecies.
Taylor appears to be expressing that she had previously alerted people regarding one of her adversaries, and now believes that everyone is aware of their genuine nature.
She’s singing, “Therefore, they silenced Cassandra first as she anticipated the worst. And I attempted to warn the town, but instead, they filled my prison with serpents, I lamentably admit – do you trust me now?
The song vividly portrays the sorrow of longing for an ex-lover. In the chorus, she sings, “I peer into strangers’ homes / In hopes you might be dining there / Could it be that our gazes would cross / One more time.
Reminds one of her 2019 song “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” where she expresses sorrow, saying, “I gaze through the windows of this love / Yet they are barricaded shut / The chandelier still glimmers here / As I can’t fake that everything is fine when it isn’t.
Taylor’s heartfelt plea is for a fresh romantic companion, presumably due to her recent separation from Joe.
“I’ve been longing for someone to be with me rather than seeking fortune. Once, I hope, it will be my turn.
Fans argue that the song isn’t about Matty Healy from The 1975, as Taylor Swift included an “Easter Egg” related to “The Prophecy” in her “Karma” music video, released on May 26, 2023. This was prior to their breakup. The music video features Taylor dressed as a golden statue, which references the lyrics from “The Prophecy”: “But even statues crumble if they’re made to wait.” Taylor herself acknowledged this connection by liking a tweet about it.
“Peter”: The song discusses a man promising to return and begin life with her after he matures, but a hint about Peter’s supposed age led listeners to suspect that “Peter” might actually be a nickname for Matty.
Taylor sings, “You promised to pick me up, yet you were 25 years old.” And it seems the dreams I held onto have passed their due date.
In 2014, around the age of 25, Matty developed a close relationship with her. Notably, he showed his support for Taylor by donning a shirt bearing the logo of her album “1989”.
It’s quite possible that the character named Peter in the current tune shares similarities with the one portrayed in the “Cardigan” of 2020, which hints at Peter Pan from the stories.
In a more straightforward manner, the lyric from her 2024 song goes like this: “I’ve moved on from our shared past with the ‘Lost Boys,’ and I say, ‘Peter, I’m sorry; understand I made an effort.’
Are you still uncertain that Matty is indeed Peter? During their relationship in May 2023, Taylor whispered the message “This song is for you. You recognize yourself. I love you” on stage during the Eras Tour while singing “Cardigan.” Is this clue enough to convince you?
As a die-hard devotee, I can’t help but ponder if the words in that manuscript hold clues to her past relationships. The hints of an age disparity suggest it might be about either Jake Gyllenhaal, who is nine years my senior, or John Mayer, a dozen years wiser than me. The lyrics seem to resonate with their stories, adding a touch of intrigue to the song.
In his era, she longed to be thirty and each day prepared coffee using a French press, as Taylor croons. Later, she ponders over what he said, that being so wise for her age, everything was transparent. However, she remained uncertain about it.
One major theory is that she wrote “The Manuscript” while revisting “All Too Well”—believed to be about Jake—to record the 10-minute version for 2021’s Red (Taylor’s Version). She turned the ballad into a short film, which she seems to allude to in “The Manuscript”: “Then the actors / Were hitting their marks / And the slow dance / Was alight with the sparks / And the tears fell / In synchronicity with the score.”
In a similar vein to one of Taylor’s recurring observations on “All Too Well,” it seems the song no longer solely reflects her past romance, but has instead evolved into a tale shared with her fans: “Now and then I revisit the script, but the narrative isn’t mine alone.
