The sixth track on Swift's album, “Ruin the Friendship,” features the shoutout.
The song focuses on a guy that Swift never kissed in high school because she was afraid of ruining their relationship, but he passed away too soon.
In the song, swift also discusses going to prom with somebody else as her date, and while dancing to a 50 Cent song, she finds her friend gazing at her.
“Have fun, it’s prom/Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist/Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse/And see you looking at me/And it was not an invitation/but as the 50 Cent song played/Should’ve kissed you anyway,” she sings.
Swift laments that she lost contact with the friend after leaving school until her friend Abigail—who is addressed in several songs, including the well-known song “Fifteen” from her second album, Fearless—calls to inform her that the friend has passed away.
“My advice is always ruin the friendship/Better that than regret it/For all time/Should’ve kissed you anyway,” she continued.
Several Swift fans expected the song to revolve around Swift and actress Blake Lively or another adult friendship that may have fallen apart rather than the loss of a childhood pal.
