Taylor Swift flags ‘extreme’ Swiftie habit that ‘gets weird’ for her
Taylor Swift doesn’t want fans filling in the blank spaces.
The Grammy winner shared her thoughts on “corners of [her] fanbase” taking their love of her music to “a really extreme place” on Tuesday.
In a New York Times interview, Swift acknowledged “there is nothing [she] can do about … people that are going to try and do the detective work [and] figure out the details.”
The pop star confessed it “gets a little bit weird” when “people act like it’s sort of a paternity test” by deciding “this song’s about that person” or asking, “Who is that about? What is this?”
“I’m like, ‘That dude didn’t write the song, I did,’” Swift quipped.
However, the performer explained this is “part of” her fame and she has to “hold tight to [her] perception of [her] art and [her] relationship with it.”
Swift continued, “Then you just kind of have to like — [blows]. ‘There it goes. Hope you like it and if you don’t now, hope you like it in five years.’”
The Grammy winner noted that if an individual “never” likes her work, she was “doing it” for herself anyway.
Over the years, fans have linked many of Swift’s songs to the “Love Story” crooner’s past relationships.
Not only do many Swifties, for example, believe “Dear John,” is about John Mayer, whom Swift briefly dated from 2009 to 2010, but the “Gravity” singer himself blasted the diss track as a “lousy thing to do” in 2012.
Fans, additionally, think “Back to December” was inspired by Taylor Lautner, Swift’s former flame from 2009.
“All Too Well,” meanwhile, is rumored to be about Jake Gyllenhaal, her 2010 to 2011 boyfriend.
Swift’s hits “Forever & Always” and “Style” have been pegged to exes Joe Jonas and Harry Styles, respectively.
Many songs off of Swift’s 2024 album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” seemingly describe her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn and her subsequent fling with Matty Healy.
Most recently, various tracks on the songwriter’s “The Life of a Showgirl” album appear to reference her romance with fiancé Travis Kelce.
She and the Kansas City Chiefs player, 36, started dating in 2023, got engaged two years later and are expected to wed in New York City in July.
In one of the record’s singles, Swift sings about the athlete making the first move and ultimately saving her “from the fate of Ophelia,” a character from Shakespeare’s famous “Hamlet” tragedy.
In “Wood,” Swift’s raunchiest song yet, she detailed how her “curse” of bad relationships was “broken” by a “magic wand.”
“Forgive me, it sounds cocky / he (ah!)matized me / And opened my eyes,” she sang. “Redwood tree / It ain’t hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs.”
Kelce spoke about the eyebrow-raising song on his “New Heights” podcast last year, dubbing it “great”.”
