In Long Story Short, as Taylor goes on to sing, “And I fell from the pedestal, Right down the Rabbit hole, Long story short, it was a bad time”. Her fans are referring to the backlash she received in the year 2016 after her breakup with Kanye West. Her fans further refer to Tom Hiddleston when Taylor sings, “Clung to the nearest lips, Long story short, it was the wrong guy”.
The song also notes the breakup with Calvin Harris and her dating period with Tom Hiddleston. In the latter chorus, The Blank Space singer adds, “Now I’m all about you, I’m all about you”, referring to her current beau Joe Alwyn. Taylor refers to Scooter Braun when she adds up, “Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things, Your nemeses, Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing”.
Taylor Swift’s songs are very personal and often have references to her love relationships. As soon as the new album was released, her fans were quick enough to listen to them and draw various conclusions. One fan tweeted, “we know who you’re talking about Taylor” and posted Joe and Tom’s pictures. Another fan wrote, “Long story short is about Tom and the Kanye and Kim 2016 feud right???? We’re all in agreement about that right?” A user commented, “IS LONG STORY SHORT ABOUT CALVIN TOM AND JOE AND 2016??? ‘#evermore’”. Another user posted a picture in response which read, “Long story short is about Joe and Tom I know it Taylor told me so”. One fan commented, “OMG TAYLOR SHADING TOM ON LONG STORY SHORT BYE”.
