Stevie Nicks Writes Moving Poem for Taylor Swift’s ‘Tortured Poets Department’ Album
Stevie Nicks has contributed her creative genius to Taylor Swift for the singer’s highly anticipated album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The Fleetwood Mac alum, who is 75 years old, penned a moving poem about heartbreak that serves as a prologue on the 14-time Grammy winner’s 11th studio album, which dropped on Friday and was unveiled as a double album in a 2 a.m. surprise announcement to fans. The poem speaks to the deep connection between the two artists, whose relationship goes back several years.
Let’s delve into the heartfelt verses:
“He was in love with her,
Or at least she thought so.
She was broken-hearted,
Maybe he was too.
Neither of them knew.
She was way too hot to handle,
He was way too high to try.
He really can’t answer her,
He’s afraid of her,
He’s hiding from her,
And he knows that he’s hurting her.
She tells the truth,
She writes about it,
She’s an informer,
He’s an ex-lover.
There’s nothing there for her,
She’s already gone.
There’s nothing that can stop her,”
the “Edge of Seventeen” hitmaker continues.
“She was just flying through the clouds
When he saw her.
She was just making her way to the stars
When he lost her…”
Taylor Swift’s admiration for the “Dreams” singer has long been known since the pair took the stage together at the Grammys in 2010. The duo performed Swift’s “You Belong with Me” and Nicks’ hit track “Rhiannon,” after which Swift gushed over the “fairytale” experience. Nicks, for her part, praised Swift’s “determination” and also “childlike nature” at the time, adding that “this girl writes the songs that make the whole world sing, like Neil Diamond or Elton John” .
