Taylor Swift Explains the Real Pain Behind One of Her Greatest Hits in Resurfaced Footage
Taylor Swift Explains the Real Pain Behind One of Her Greatest Hits in Resurfaced Footage originally appeared on Parade. Taylor Swift may have risen to fame writing songs about romance gone wrong, but the 'Cruel Summer' singer also dives deep into the nuances—and heartbreak—of friendship in many of her songs. In a recently resurfaced conversation with producer and frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff, the 35-year-old, 14-time Grammy Award winner gives new insight into the pain behind one of her most thoughtful tracks, 'My Tears Ricochet,' from her 2020 masterpiece the video, Swift can be seen wearing her Folklore-era attire, complete with an oversized patterned coat and jewel-toned newsboy cap that hides her signature blonde locks. Sitting outside, Swift explains how the emotional song came to be. 'I wrote that one alone,' Swift shares. 'It's one of the saddest songs on the album.' Antonoff compliments Swift, calling it one of the best on Folklore. Swift responds with deeper insight into her writing process and the inspiration behind the song: 'It's a song about greed. It's a song about how somebody could be your best friend and your companion and your most trusted person in your life, and then they could go and become your worst enemy who knows how to hurt you because they were once your most trusted person.' Swift compares the end of a friendship to a divorce before likening it to superhero stories. 'Writing this song, it kind of occurred to me that in all of the superhero stories, the hero's greatest nemesis is the villain that used to be his best friend… There's this beautiful moment in the beginning of a friendship where these people have no idea that one day they'll hate each other.'While some fans speculated whether Swift was referencing a specific friendship breakup, others were simply happy to join the conversation in the social media comment section—one encapsulating the mood with, 'Love this woman.' 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Taylor Swift Explains the Real Pain Behind One of Her Greatest Hits in Resurfaced Footage first appeared on Parade on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Will Blake Lively ever cheer for Travis Kelce again? Taylor Swift's NFL game days may no longer include her former best friend
Will Blake Lively ever cheer for Travis Kelce again with Taylor Swift (Getty Images) Taylor Swift may be dominating the global stage with her record-breaking Eras Tour and fairy-tale romance with NFL star Travis Kelce , but behind the scenes, she's quietly closed the chapter on one of her most publicized friendships. Sources close to Swift confirm that her once-close bond with actress Blake Lively has suffered a dramatic and possibly permanent fracture, thanks to the fallout from a $400 million legal battle involving It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni . Blake Lively's texts and legal tactics reportedly crossed Swift's boundaries It all started with a lawsuit in which Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation. In response, Baldoni countersued, accusing Lively of defamation—and in a shocking twist, pulled Taylor Swift directly into the fray. In court filings, a text from Lively referred to Swift and Ryan Reynolds as her 'dragons,' likening herself to Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. That metaphor may have played well on paper, but to Swift, it was a red flag. 'Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them, remember?' a source told Page Six, referencing Swift's lyric from End Game. 'She will forever be furious at how Blake quite clearly was using her for clout and leverage in her dealings with Justin.' What hurt most, insiders claim, was the implication that Swift had ever been used as a strategic pawn in Lively's legal fight—something Swift reportedly never signed up for. A friendship rooted in shared fame, not fierce loyalty While Swift and Lively once appeared inseparable—attending Chiefs games together, bonding over home decor, and vacationing in private luxury—their connection was less about emotional reliance and more about shared lifestyle. 'They were baking pals, travel pals, home decor pals… and to be totally honest, billionaire pals,' the insider added. Notably, Swift didn't publicly support It Ends With Us, despite licensing her song 'My Tears Ricochet' to the film. That silence now appears telling. 'The damage Justin did by revealing those texts… is lasting and probably permanent,' said the source. As she celebrates the $360 million buyback of her master recordings and continues her whirlwind relationship with Travis Kelce, Swift seems to be prioritizing authenticity over alliances. The once-envied friendship between Swift and Lively may now be just another entry in Swift's lyrical vault—one that, like so many of her hits, is born from betrayal and destined for poetic closure.

Following their explosive fallout tied to a $400 million lawsuit, insiders say Swift has cut ties—leaving no room for Lively in her NFL world.

'She will forever be furious': Taylor Swift ends friendship with Blake Lively after lawsuit drama, leans on Travis Kelce for comfort
Taylor Swift has ditched Blake Lively with no way back for friendship (Getty Images) What was once one of Hollywood's most adored friendships has reportedly come to a dramatic end. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once inseparable on vacations, red carpets, and NFL game nights, are no longer on speaking terms. According to a revealing Page Six report, the collapse of their relationship stems from a $400 million lawsuit involving Blake's It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni — and Swift is now leaning on her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, for support during the fallout. Taylor Swift distances from Blake and It Ends With Us while finding peace with Travis Kelce The legal dispute exposed private texts where Blake Lively referred to Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds as her 'dragons,' comparing herself to Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. This comment — made in the context of her legal dispute — reportedly outraged Swift, who felt blindsided and misrepresented. 'She will forever be furious at how Blake quite clearly was using her for clout and leverage in her dealings with Justin,' a source close to Swift told Page Six. 'She really hates that Blake would even think like that, let alone write the things she did in that text.' While Swift had previously licensed her song My Tears Ricochet for the film's soundtrack, she never promoted the movie — even before the legal mess surfaced. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Sources say that wasn't by accident. Swift reportedly saw the friendship as casual and low-pressure, not one where she'd be expected to get involved in someone else's legal fight. 'The truth is, the text wasn't even accurate,' the insider said. 'That's not the kind of friendship they ever had—Taylor would never think of herself as Blake's 'dragon.'' Amid the public drama, insiders say Swift has found grounding and reassurance in her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The couple, who've become one of pop culture's most watched pairs, have been spending more time together during Swift's Eras Tour breaks. 'Travis has been a calming presence for Taylor,' one entertainment insider shared privately. 'She's leaned on him throughout this entire fallout with Blake. He gets the pressure she's under and doesn't ask anything from her except honesty and time.' 'They were baking pals, travel pals, home decor pals… and to be totally honest, billionaire pals,' the source added. 'It was nice to be with someone else who 'gets it'.' Now, with the friendship fractured and the legal dust settling, Swift is said to be moving forward with a smaller, tighter circle — one where trust isn't just assumed, but earned. 'Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them,' the source added, quoting Swift's lyric from End Game.

Taylor Swift fans spot detail that 'proves' singer was not involved in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama
Taylor Swift fans have spotted a clue that they claimed 'proves' the pop star was not involved in ex-friend Blake Lively 's drama with her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni. The singer, 35, became embroiled in the messy legal saga after Justin, 41, claimed Blake, 37, enlisted her pal Taylor to 'pressure' him into letting her rewrite parts of the script in his lawsuit. In the latest twist, a judge ruled this week that Justin's team will be allowed access to Blake's private texts with Taylor - putting the Cruel Summer songstress right in the middle of the ongoing feud. But now, the popstar's dedicated fans have claimed to have found something that shows she had no knowledge of the bitter battle when it was all going down. In a recent Reddit thread discussing the singer's alleged involvement, Swifties pointed out that the hitmaker allowed her song My Tears Ricochet to be included in It Ends With Us. 'There is no way that Taylor would have let her song be attached to a production where multiple women were being sexually harassed on site,' one user wrote, in part. 'She's very selective about where they are used.' Someone else responded to the post: 'You cracked it for me. I know we're talking about a future song, but I just realized that Taylor would NEVER lend her song if she knew it was being attached to a production where multiple women were being sexually harassed on-site. No way. 'The fact that My Tears Ricochet is in It Ends With Us shows that Blake never told Taylor and her involvement was misrepresented in Blake's initial disclosures.' Another fan said: 'Oh shoot! That just clicked for me too!' 'This is a good point,' wrote a different fan. Taylor's song was part of the film's trailer and soundtrack, but she wasn't directly involved in the production of the movie or the lawsuit itself. As of June, Justin's team are in the discovery phase of the blockbuster legal case. They have subpoenaed Blake for texts, emails and other messages between her and the singer – who she infamously referred to as 'my dragon' during an exchange allegedly intended to intimidate the Jane the Virgin star. But while Justin's team were forced to withdraw a subpoena targeting megastar Swift directly, they scored a victory when Judge Lewis Liman said they will be allowed access to Blake's communications with the singer. Baldoni's lawyers will now be allowed to peruse a tranche of messages exchanged by the pair with all communications related to It Ends With Us now set for scrutiny. The friendship between Blake and Taylor has been said to have gone cold amid the high-stakes lawsuit. The singer is allegedly 'done' with the actress, a source exclusively told the Daily Mail, and their mutual pal Gigi Hadid, 30, is also reportedly cutting ties with Blake. 'There is no recovering from this. Their friendship is done,' the insider said. 'What Blake has done was exploit the Godmother of her children and manipulate the public into thinking that she was watching out for her best interests,' the source added. Taylor is the godmother to Blake's three eldest children with Ryan Reynolds, 48: James, 10, Inez, eight, and Betty, five. 'Taylor is done and Gigi is done with Blake, and she has no one to blame but herself. Taylor is a girl's girl and she loves her friends,' the source added. 'She will bend over backward for them but when that trust is broken there is no going back.' The drama began last December when Blake accused Justin, her It Ends With Us co-star and director, of sexual harassment and coordinating a smear campaign against her. Justin hit back in January, with a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan of defamation. All parties have denied the allegations. Last week, the defamation element of Baldoni's lawsuit was scrapped by a judge, although he is still suing for civil extortion and invasion of privacy among other claims. But contained in Justin's filing were screenshots of alleged text messages, in which Blake regularly mentioned Taylor by name. In one now infamous and toe-curling exchange, Blake appeared to refer to herself as the character Khaleesi – from Game of Thrones – and to Taylor as one of her 'dragons.' Elsewhere in Justin's filing is the claim that Taylor was present at a meeting convened by Blake at her New York penthouse to discuss It Ends With Us script changes. Sources close to Taylor have insisted the singer had no knowledge of the meeting and simply turned up to find it underway.
