Oh boy, oh boy! As a devoted Swiftie since her Fearless days, I’ve been through every heartache and triumph with Taylor. Her latest sneak peek into her creative process has me swooning all over again. The evolution of “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” is like uncovering a hidden treasure map to the secrets of her genius mind!


Taylor Swift shared an early version of her song “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” offering fans a peek into her songwriting journey.

On Saturday, the renowned 34-year-old musician, currently in a relationship with Travis Kelce, shared via her Instagram Story that she was selling an early draft of one of her songs titled ‘First Draft Phone Memo’.

Enthusiastic followers swiftly picked up subtle details within the early version of the song that first appeared on April 19 as part of “The Tortured Poets Department” album.

Among the changes was a heart-wrenching lyric swap.

In a more leisurely rendition, Taylor Swift originally crooned from her perspective: “He was my dearest friend, but that was the most challenging aspect.”

Swift explained the meaning behind the song on iHeartRadio in April.

The music artist revealed the number was written from the perspective of a child’s toy.

In her own words, she holds sole authorship for the melody, likening it to the experience of being cherished as a favorite plaything until it gets damaged, only to be discarded afterwards.

Taylor compared it to “many of us being in relationships where we feel incredibly cherished at first, but then, unexpectedly, our partner may hurt us or start viewing us less favorably.”

The star underlined, “Despite everything, we’re holding onto the thought, ‘No, no, no. You would have been amazed at their reaction when they first met me. They’ll remember that moment. They’ll return to that point.’ “

The meaning is similar to saying: ‘It’s almost as if the lyrics are expressing denial. This way, one can continue to believe in the possibility of healing and reconciliation in a damaged, dysfunctional relationship.’

On the First Draft Phone Memo project, you’ll also find tunes like Cassandra, The Black Dog, and Who’s Afraid of a Little Old Me? reared for presentation.

As a music enthusiast who always keeps an eye out for new releases, I can’t help but share this exciting news with fellow fans: The digital album is only available for a limited time! For just one day – until Sunday, August 4 at 12pm – you have the unique opportunity to grab this exclusive offering. However, it’s important to note that this offer is only open to residents of the United States. Given my personal experience with music and its ability to evoke emotions and memories, I highly recommend checking out this album while you can; who knows when another chance like this will come along?

Taylor took the stage in Munich on Saturday, July 27 as she continued her Eras Tour 

After back-to-back performances in the city, she took to Instagram to express her gratitude.

Here is one way of paraphrasing the given text in natural and easy-to-read language:

As someone who has been fortunate enough to attend several concerts over the years, I can wholeheartedly attest to the power of music and the energy it generates among fans. Seeing crowds fully immersed in a show from afar brings me immense joy and makes me feel incredibly grateful for the memories that these experiences create. With 11 shows left on the European leg of this tour, I can hardly wait to be a part of the excitement once again, starting with three shows in Warsaw next month!
