Taylor Swift's new album The Tortured Poets Department has broken quite a few records.

What Taylor said

In the interview, Taylor said, “It’s a metaphor from the perspective of a child’s toy; 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.’”

She further continued, “So it’s kind of like a song about denial really so that you could live in this world where there’s still hope for a toxic, broken relationship.”
