""I went through two breakups on the first half of this tour, and that's a lot of breakups actually," she commented."
""It was a really rough time in my life, so the songs reflect that," she said. "Feeling like I'm not a person, I'm just this big conglomerate that no one sees as a real human being, and especially not men that I date. Just being like... nothing works. There's no one for me in the world.""
""There were points when the tour was really the only thing that was really keeping me going in my life," she said. "But there were never points in the tour where I thought, 'Oh, you know what? I want to quit the tour 'cause the tour's hard.' No, my personal life was hard." Swift added: "The tour has been the thing that has allowed me to find purpose outside of the sh*t that was going wrong in my life." As she duly pointed out, "Men will let you down. The Eras Tour never will.""
Taylor Swift experienced two breakups during the first half of the 2023 Eras Tour, including splits from Joe Alwyn and a brief romance with Matty Healy. The emotional fallout served as material for the Tortured Poets album, which originated as a purge of negative feelings. The songs reflect a rough period marked by feelings of dehumanization, loneliness, and a sense that relationships were failing. The Eras Tour provided stability and purpose during that turmoil and prevented any desire to quit despite personal hardship. The tour offered a dependable outlet contrasted with disappointing romantic experiences, and her mother Andrea helped facilitate a connection with Travis Kelce.
