No, that's not what the song is about. People who have had miscarriages related to the song and started trending on TikTok/Instagram posting about it. They talk about how they relate to the song and its helping them heal. TS has NEVER come out and said this is what the song is about. People who have lost other family members also relate to the song. It's song about loss, the true meaning is up for interpretation. |
| This is what insiders are saying- there was a commitment ceremony in the UK during COVID, but not legally binding so there's no divorce/legal implications. They broke up several weeks before the tour began but were keeping it quiet. Taylor's team was VERY surprised that this info leaked. Many think it was from Joe's "camp"... not his manager/agent/etc but likely a hair/makeup or stylist. |
Until she states the meaning, which is not necessarily the whole truth (which she does not owe anyone), it sure sounds like it's about miscarriage. I can totally see how it relates to death or loss in general, but "you were more than just a short time" is pretty specific. Anyway, she writes in the voice of her friends a lot right? So even if it's about miscarriage it may not be about something she herself experienced. |
Why do you assume she could have had a baby if she wanted one? Isn’t that equally presumptuous? Maybe she loved her partner and he wasn’t ready. Maybe they had trouble conceiving. Maybe she has issues she’s working through that give her a complex about becoming a mother. There are all sort of reasons women don’t have babies at 33-34. Some of them are by choice (good for them if that makes them happy) and some aren’t (that is a situation that stinks, but they still have time and need to start thinking about it.) It’s not weird to wonder what camp Taylor falls into, and you don’t know any better than anyone else. |
If you've been through one of course it seems like that to you. Anyone who dies before like 60 is considered dying young... here for just a short time. My cousin died at 30. I would say that about him. |
She’ll have plenty of time to count all of her money and stare at Grammies when she’s all alone with no kids. Or maybe she’ll create babies in a lab like that weirdo 50 year old actress.

In which songs does she write about having kids? There’s a reference in anti-hero to a DIL, which feels more like a joke, and lyrics in peace about giving her partner a child. I didn’t really listen to albums before 1989 but can’t think of another song where she dreams of being a mother or grandmother. |
| On kids and marriage she is basically Jennifer Aniston. |
| She's too immature to have a baby. |
Are you serious? The chorus of the song is "I'm never gonna meet What could've been, would've been What should've been you." The song doesn't make any sense unless it's about a miscarriage. We've otherwise met people that we care about who have died. The grief of a miscarriage is that you never got to meet your child alive. All that possibility is gone. It's just not the same for a death of a person who was alive. You met your cousin. Respectfully, the song isn't about your cousin. |
Songs are artistic and symbolic. Yes she says "I'm never gonna meet / What could've been, would've been / What should've been you / What could've been, would've been you." That doesn't mean she didn't meet the person she is writing about, she didn't meet the future them, what they would have become.. .because they are dead! |
If she were writing about someone she had met who had died, she wouldn't write "I'm never gonna meet what could've been" etc -- she'd write "I'm never gonna know what could've been, should've been you." If she was writing about someone she knew who had died, she wouldn't mourn about not "meeting" that future person. She wouldn't ever "meet" someone she'd already known for many years. People don't talk like that. You can miss out on the person they would have been had they lived, but you don't talk about missing out on "meeting" that future version of them. Because you had already met them years ago. You don't "meet" them again after you've known them for years. Sure, art and song lyrics are subjective, but you're really twisting these in circles to make them not be about a miscarriage. It doesn't necessarily have to be TS's miscarriage, but it seems willfully obtuse to insist that the lyrics are about some other person who lived a life and then died. |
You must not have ever lost a child. Yes you mourn who they would have been. |
Ouch. Yes, of course you would. I'm very sorry for your loss. |

Apparently a ton of Swifties have been congregating on Cornelia Street to “pay their respects.” They’re crying, singing, etc. That’s freaking wacko!!! What the HECK.
The strangest part of it is that Alwyn is basically a ghost - we never knew him. We knew nothing about their relationship. But I guess that Taylor sang about their love as if it were transformative and permanent. She called him “a magnetic force of a man” which just doesn’t jobs with the practically expressionless guy in their photos; we took her word for it in her lyrics. So her fans are in a state of shock, I guess but I don’t understand being so invested that they are “crying and puking” per an article I just read. Her level of fame is like a tidal wave, it’s crazy. |
