- Taylor Swift has confirmed that “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone will be the first single off her “The Tortured Poets Department” album, which drops at midnight on April 19. Variety’s music editor Jem Aswad is spilling the Taylor tea with “Extra,” sharing that the album is “much more raw about heartbreak” than any of her previous albums. He also says that the songs are about Joe Alwyn, but “even more about Matty Healy” from the 1975. He was Taylor’s rebound after Joe, before she began dating Travis Kelce.

She knows what sells…..this revenge stuff. Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, people love it. Hard to argue with success like hers.
She doesn’t feel heartbreak. She’s the beast that always eats. Un-satiated
When you realize Taylor Swift has been singing about Matty Healy since Reputation...
END GAME
You can tell from TTPD that she was really heartbroken over it not working out with Matty after their rekindled romance ~10 years since their first spark ... I believe End Game from Rep is actually about him. Also, I think she uses the word 'touch' to refer to Matty (kinda like 'blue' and 'golden' are typical nods to Joe)
["I don't wanna touch you (I don't wanna be) / Just another ex-love (You don’t wanna see)"]
["you and me, we got big reputations"] - I don't think Joe necessarily had a 'big' reputation prior to meeting Swift, but Matty on the other hand...
DON'T BLAME ME
Drug references *ahem*
["love made me crazy"] and then she's locked away in an insane asylum in Fortnight?...
["And, baby, for you, I would fall from grace / Just to touch your face, if you walk away / I'd beg ya on my knees to stay"] ... again referencing 'touch' like in Fortnight - ["I touched you for only a fortnight / I touched you, but I touched you"]
[For you, I would cross the line / I would waste my time, I would lose my mind / They say, "She's gone too far this time"] But Daddy I Love Him anybody??
"I once was poison ivy, but now, I'm your daisy" ... Daisy being a Gatsby reference to the girl he pines over his whole life AND Matty once called himself 'The Great Twatsby' on Instagram (I think?) Not to mention the "so cool" ending to the 1975s "Robbers," and Daisy calling Gatsby "so cool" 😳
Coincidence?
DANCING WITH OUR HANDS TIED
["I'd kiss you as the lights went out / Swayin' as the room burned down / I'd hold you as the water rushes in / If I could dance with you again"]
This kinda sounds a bit End Game-y, and this might be a bit of a stretch, but was she already planning on burning down her (Lover) house with Alwyn for Healy so she could try again with him (when he was Ready For It)? ... She is a Mastermind after all ...
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS
["Feelin' so Gatsby for that whole year"] Another Gatsby reference 🧐
Also, The Great Gatsby took place during the roaring 20s, and Clara Bow was the "It" girl (1927 film). Plus, Taylor and Healy met in their 20s (their age), and then renewed their relationship in the 20s (the year 2023 - maybe even before then, but just not known to the public...)
[Because you break them, I had to take them away] - My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys "I'm queen of sandcastles he destroys ... There was danger in the heat of my touch" and Hits Different "Now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings"
I could be grasping with these song connections, or it could be coincidence; although, none of it was accidental, so...
NEW YEAR'S DAY
Just an interesting find here, but "forevermore" and "midnights" are repeated throughout the track, and Taylor Swift was quoted from Reputation Secret Sessions saying that this song is about permanence, and later Jack Antonoff suggested this song hints to the future ... were they already planning folklore/evermore and Midnights??
Also, from Reputation Secret Sessions, Taylor said she had been wanting to use the lyrics: “Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.”
["Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames / If we know the steps anyway? / We embroidered the memories of the time I was away"] - what better way to hold on to memories than embroidering them?
Reputation begins the story of two love interests - Joe and Matty. While she's technically in a relationship with Joe, she just can't seem to let Matty go, "[his] handprints on [her] soul." There's probably some sprinklings of him on Lover that I haven't dug into yet, but we all know the Peter Losing Wendy bit from Cardigan and Peter on TTPD are rumored to be about Matty ... Reputation TV will be next so she can officially close the chapter on both of them. And with her song "So High School" being about Travis Kelce, then her self-titled album will be next - taking her back to high school, as it were. Also, her debut album is country and he plays for the Kansas City Chiefs ... Cowboys and Indians LOL
Her next new release will be a Lover-themed album about her Travis romance.
If you made it through this novel, thanks for reading and God bless! 🤓
I would say it's a mix of joe and Matty LMFAO and the alchemy is clearly about Travis because it has plenty of cheesy sports references
She was hardly with Matty.
It’s not a mix. There is one song about Joe on the whole double album, So Long London.
@@mjnorman9824 two songs how did it end is also about him
No, it's more about that racist, misogynistic Matt than Joe. Which speaks volumes about herself. ESPECIALLY, since she is staying silent after this (but not staying silent for defending that grease racist s*****). I always knew there was something about her, as a person who isn't white, that makes me a shame to like her songs. Now I know why. I thought her album will be about Joe, who I liked and thought was a decent man, out of all her toxic exes, I was about to be in my feels (but it left me vomiting instead). But nope, her short lived romance with Matt means so much more than Joe, who stayed and helped her through everything.
I don't feel sorry for her anymore, let her date toxic "men." And don't say there's no proof Matt was toxic, he literally said horrible things in a podcast (look it up), and type things on Twitter about women of color (more black women though). And, just hearing it now, she is friends with him before, so SHE KNEW what kind of a person he is. If it doesn't bother you, you are either a toxic TS fan or white, and these things don't matter to you. Not a fan of hers anymore. But I know her fans will still paint her a "victim." And society will still praise that basic girl.
Edited: And by seeing the reply, I was right. "Swifties" will defend her, and TS knows it. That's why she is so hand on hand with fans (like a cult leader).
Oh god. It’s gonna be like Rep, if Rep was all about Tom Hiddleston 🤦🏻♀️
What? She dated him for 5 minutes.
Apparently she liked him alot and Swifties ruined it.
@@reneesmith983 If she liked him, not sure she could like Travis. Completely different men and lifestyles.
@@ST-rj8iuthat’s a dumb thing to say lol people can have tons of different types of
@@Hddjridhanaksldndh A skinny smoker to an athlete that takes roids? No. Most people have a type that is in a range. Maybe the desperate ones don't
@@ST-rj8iu tag this post and come back after the album is out. I've already read the lyrics. Its all over SM.
Lies, is more about Joe Alwyn, she die hard for him
You and I broke the laws of God & Jesus paid the price. With the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Romans 10:10
I listened to the leak and this album is definitely a time capsule almost a vacuum of a short time like when they were breaking up and the whole Matty thing is discussed multiple songs. She overall comes off very unhinged in the lyrics yet I felt something was missing like production wise and maybe that's the style it's very minimal yet has dramatic lyrics which is a confusing experience. The alchemy is definitely about Travis because of plenty of cheesy sports references and it honestly feels try hard. Honestly might be one of Taylor's most mediocre albums. Cowboy Carter will definitely win at the Grammys and if not TTPD definitely won't and if it does just proves the Grammys are rigged!
Also it overall felt very rushed like feels unfinished to me
You don't have to like everything she puts out, but at least have some respect for her craft. And if anyone is thinking she will win AOY it won't happen and I am sure she is not thinking about that.
She needs to get another producer, everything Jack makes sounds the same nowadays
@@charlottesmith5760OP literally said nothing disrespectful. Stop reaching
definitely her worst album
Why does she always got her ex names in her mouth lmao
This album is too depressing.😢
Nothing meaningful . .Why can't she keep a partner? She gets around.
Matty Healy was definitely a rebound guy.
Dude's out here kissin' dudes and what not 😂😂.
The one she has now wears women pants and sequins.
@@Rosepetals116Clueless!! 😂
Then you clearly know nothing about Matty Healy. He’s been kissing dudes since The 1975 started their career. He has been openly pro queer before it was “cool.” Some of you Swifties are delusional af
No.. definitely about Joe... Check back the lyrics! so many lyrics related back to her other songs abous Joe.
A true taylor and joe relationship lover knows fortnite is about joe but not matty❤ she referred one lyric to matty to confuse us 😭😂 but most of the MV is about Joe
I call BS on the Matt Healy crap
It’s true
agree this guy isn't spilling any of the T....
It's true though.
But Daddy I Love Him, Guilty as Sin?, The Tortured Poets Department, Fresh Out The Slammer, I can Fix Him (No Really I Can), loml.... all about Matty
@@colt.dy12 I haven't heard the album yet but "Daddy I love him" are words that Harry has on a t-shirt that he has worn on more than occasion and although I don't know what loml means on Taylor's album it means love of my life on Harry's album she knows this. Just like Style many fans are going to assume It is Harry she is singing about( which she might deny) but it will be weird for these obvious connections be about Matty.
Poor Taylor who upstairs is anything but swift!!!!
You wish that to be true, but ,you are so wrong, that's why she's a billionaire
@@inezcruz5220 money does not necessarily mean intelligence especially when augmented by the stupidity of others .
She's 34 years old and still rabbling on like a butthurt teenager. She seriously needs to grow up. This album is trash.
@@inezcruz5220her parents were very wealthy and always managed her very closely everyone knows that. Its more them than her lol
Wrong again darrell
They were hardly together and she's writing about it already lol
to make Joe feel bad
@@canelaswift952totally agree!!
BS! Matty and Taylor have been friends for decades. They are still good friends .
Nice try 😂
I'm guessing you haven't checked out the lyrics?
Really? Even after calling Taylor's mom MISS PIGGY?
Ew. Hell no.
