Taylor Swift‘s ability to surprise her fans with clever Easter eggs, puzzles, and clues hidden within her music, album art, and promotional campaigns has long been a source of awe. Over the past week, a video interview from 2008 has resurfaced, showcasing Swift’s foresight in naming her 2024 song “But Daddy I Love Him,” which she released 16 years after the interview.
This has sparked a wave of admiration on X (formerly Twitter), with many praising the Grammy winner, 34, as a “mastermind” and “genius” for her impressive coincidence or possibly planned connection between the past and present. It’s clear that the hitmaker’s creativity and attention to detail have once again captivated Swifties.
On April 19th, Swift released her long-awaited eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. The record’s sixth track is titled, “But Daddy I Love Him,” and features an infectious melody, swirling backing synths and pulsating beats. Swift’s lyrics paint the picture of someone hopelessly in love with another person, even though everyone else is against their relationship.
Ever since its debut, fans have been speculating that the song revolves around the constant intrusion into Swift’s personal life, drawing comparisons between the critical gaze of the public towards her relationships and the overbearing nature of controlling parental figures.
