“It’s clear that we have intense fan involvement and identification,” Dr. Cuyler tellsย Fox News. He added that the songsย I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)ย andย I Can Do It With A Broken Heartย are twoย particularly sadย songs. The former is about a relationship with a broken person. The latter appears to be a song about Taylor Swift working through her depression.
“Many of these songs and tones of the album [are] triggering reflection [by] fans who are tuning into their [own] dark places as they listen to [Swift] explore some of her dark places,” Cuyler continued. “The songs are so deeply personal and unique to Taylor, yet still somehow manage to be universal in the way fans connect and relate to them,” she said.
Taylor Swift fans know that the singer usually writes postsย that pertain toย her personal life.ย However, itย makes her highly relatable andย her followers love herย all the more for it.
