Taylor Swift is back in the show business- well, not with a brand-new album, but with a brand-new addition to her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl. She released four new songs, Patient Zero, Cleveland!, Pink Clouding, and Babylon, as an expansion of the album.
During the announcement, Swift revealed that a year after the release of her album, she, along with her producers, Max Martin and Shellback, took a celebratory trip to Sweden. The trio ended up in a local studio and wrote four more songs, which are now released as part of The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, an expansion.
Did Taylor Swift hint at her ex-beau, Joe Alwyn, through her new songs?
As always, with Swift’s new songs, Swifties started decoding the lyrics. Several theories are already out there about the four new songs, and people have been discussing whom the lyrics might refer to. Among the four, the song Pink Clouding grabbed attention. While the song’s name is quite unique, the way the lyrical queen has presented it has left everyone hooked on it.
Speaking of the meaning of the term, it’s reportedly loosely connected to the ‘honeymoon phase’. According to public data, ‘pink clouding’ is a feeling of euphoria that describes a stage of early addiction recovery. Fans have interpreted the lyrics to depict a love story that began with emotional optimism; however, the reality crept in. The second verse is about regret and wishing to apologize years later, while in the third verse, remorse is present, which is about the fear of leaving an emotional ‘scar’ on good people.
There’s no confirmation about who the lyrics are intended for or whether they are only fictional or not. However, with the lyrical queen Taylor Swift’s craft, most of her fans are convinced that the lyrics were surely inspired by something really close to her. Several theories are being discussed, and most of the Swifties and others feel that the lyrics could be hinting at her ex, Joe Alwyn.
Another song, Patient Zero, speaks about a toxic love story as well, and with the lyrics of this particular song, Swifties feel that it could also hint at Taylor’s famous ex, Joe, while some argue that it could also be about Matty Healy. On the other hand, according to theories, another song of hers, Cleveland! could be about her husband, Travis Kelce, who grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
