Taylor Swift reveals the meaning behind the lyrics of 'My Boy Breaks All His Favorite Toys'

According to the Daily Mail, the singer behind the hit 'Fortnight' has recently shared insights into the lyrics of her song 'My Boy Breaks All His Favorite Toys.'

The track, nestled at number three on her album 'The Tortured Poet's Department' (TTPD), has stirred speculation among fans.

They're left wondering if the story revolves around her former partner, Alwyn, or the lead singer of 1975, Matty Healy, who admitted he hasn't listened to the songs rumored to be about him.

The chorus sings out, "My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh, I’m queen of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh, Cause it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night, I should’ve known it was a matter of time, oh, oh."

During an interview with Amazon Music, the artist behind 'Look What You Made Me Do' unpacked the song's metaphor.

She shared, "Being somebody’s favorite toy until they break you and then don’t want to play with you anymore. Which is how a lot of us are in relationships where we are so valued by a person in the beginning, and then all of the sudden, they break us or they devalue us in their mind."

We’re still clinging on to 'No no, no. You should’ve seen them the first time they saw me. They’ll come back to that. They’ll get back to that,'" the singer added.

Internet users assert Taylor Swift doesn't know about love

A reader online wrote, "For someone who is supposedly upset or heartbroken over her breakups with her latest boyfriend, it doesn't seem to take her long to find another one, I really don't think she knows what love means."

Another user wrote, "There is a reality to love that calibrates itself in a way after you’ve been with someone a while. It’s not always like it’s the first time they saw you and the feelings of initial euphoria- that’s the honeymoon phase. It’s rather the slow steady flame that keeps going throughout the marriage/relationship. Best not to be in love with love or you’ll always be disappointed. "

A user commented, "There seems to be huge issues with every single guy she associates with; I wonder if she will ever realize that the problem is not everyone else, but really it's HER."

Another user commented, "Listening to Taylor Swift songs is akin to looking at texted and social media pictures of what people had for lunch... 99.9% of the time, no one cares and they all seem to look(sound) the same."

A user stated, "She wants a boyfriend... unfortunately a lot of her boyfriends also want boyfriends... then she blames that on men in general. Stop taking relationship advice from Taylor. Shes making bad choices."
