Taylor Swift has revealed the meaning behind her “The Tortured Poets Department” track “My Boy Breaks All His Favorite Toys” as fans speculate about whom it was written.

The global superstar, 34, said in a breakdown of the song for Amazon Music that it’s a metaphor for a rusted relationship someone is yearning to bring back to its days of being shiny and new.

The song takes place 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 explained.
