LOVE AND ART IN CONNECTION: Taylor Swift is famous for using her big hits to settle scores and brutally criticize ex-lovers… so why are they so silent?..

 

Taylor Swift is pulling back the curtain.

The pop star gave Amazon Music listeners commentary about five songs on her “very fatalistic” new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

“It’s about a dramatic, artistic, tragic kind of take on love and loss,” she shared.

She began by breaking down “Fortnight.”

Swift, 34, did not name names while dishing on “Fortnight” and “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” but she gave rare insight into the relationships that inspired them.

The Grammy winner said she “always imagined” the former took place in an “American town where the American Dream you thought would happen to you didn’t.”

She explained, “You ended up not with the person you loved and now you have to just live with that every day, wondering what would’ve been, maybe seeing them out.

“And that’s a pretty tragic concept, really,” Swift continued. “So I was just writing from that perspective.”

The Eras Tour performer called the other breakup song 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.”

She recalled being “so valued by a person in the beginning” of a romance before things turned south.

“Then all of a sudden they break us, or they devalue us in their mind, and 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 noted.

Swift called the track a “song about denial” in which one “can live in this world where there’s still hope for a toxic, broken relationship.”

The songwriter also spoke to her motivations behind writing “Florida!!!,” “Clara Bow” and “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?”

She did not, however, address the songs eagle-eyed fans believe to be about her exes Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and John Mayer.

Swift also refrained from commenting on “thanK you aIMee,” a viral diss track seemingly shading Kim Kardashian amid their years-long feud.

While the reality star, 43, has remained mum about the scathing lyrics, even during her “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” interview Monday, Healy, 35, has spoken out — via his aunt.

“Nothing surprises him. … Him and her know what went on,” Debbie Dedes told the Daily Mail over the weekend, going on to call the 1975 frontman “very happy” with his girlfriend, Gabbriette Bechtel.
