In 2019, Smith defended Swift when discussing her fame.

“It’s unbelievable to not be able to go anywhere, do anything, have messy hair.

And I’m sure that she’s trying to do something good.

She’s not trying to do something bad.

Another line seems to reference both solo artist andBoygeniusmember Lucy Dacus and Swifts close collaborator and Bleachers frontmanJack Antonoff.

Everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be / Cause we’re crazy.

The Tortured Poets Departmentis out now.
