Taylor Swift's song I Can Do With A Broken Heart changed the way fans perceived the Eras Tour
Swifties can't get enough of Taylor Swift's new single, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart. Who is the track about, though? Is it about Matt Healy? Is this about Joe Alwyn? Or is it about the fans? Many fans expected Taylor Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department to address her split with Joe Alwyn as soon as she announced the album. While there are numerous references to her relationship with Joe Alwyn throughout the album, it's become evident that there are songs about her relationship with Matty Healy and the weight of fame.
Taylor Swift’s song I Can Do It With a Broken Heart is about the hardship of performing while dealing with personal tragedy and heartbreak. Swift alludes to her reality on The Eras Tour, singing, “I can read your mind. 'She's having the time of her life.' There in her glittering prime, the lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night, and I can show you lies.”
Swift then makes a blatant reference to a split she experienced while on tour, singing, “Lights, camera, bitch, smile. Even when you wanna die, he said he'd love me all his life, but that life was too short. Breaking down, I hit the floor, and all of my fragments shatter as the crowd chanted 'More'.”
In contrast to the somber lyrics, the song is an exuberant sing-along anthem that plays on Swift's emotional state while she sings on stage. After listening to the song, fans were left shattered, as they thought Swift was having the time of her life on tour, but actually the opposite was going on. Many went to X (previously known as Twitter) to express how they felt sorry for her. Many users also saw their clips and memories from Eras Tour differently, as they felt the singer was dealing with the lowest point of her life while being on stage.
Taking to X, one user shared a screenshot with a quote by singer Chappel Roan and wrote, “Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour.” Another user shared a screenshot of lyrics that read, “I can read your mind, ‘She’s having the time of her life’” and wrote, “Don’t tell me this about us on the Eras tour.”
Another user shared a screenshot of the song lyrics and wrote, “And if I say this is specifically about the delicate performance of the eras tour? the shattering floor as she hit her marks? one, two, three (let’s go, bitch).” While another user shared a screenshot of a Tik-Tok video that read, “Anyone else kind of feels bad for going to the eras tour lol” and wrote, “Now they will do with the eras tour the same thing they did with the 1989 tour...”
A user shared a recording of the Spotify canvas for the song and wrote, “Can we talk about how the Spotify canvas for ICDIWABH is just the eras tour?” Another user shared a clip of Swift from the Eras Tour where fans were chanting Reputation and a screengrab of song lyrics and wrote, “What were we thinking?” Another user felt that now the Aras tour would be insane, as she shared the song link and wrote, “The Eras Tour moment will be insane. Jesus, take the wheel.”
