Taylor Swift’s brief summer fling with Matty Healy upset some of her fans, in part because Healy has a history of problematic comments. His controversial remarks about Ice Spice, women, and even Swift herself had concerned them. Swift said nothing about their public appeals to her to stop dating Healy…until now.

In her song “But Daddy, I Love Him,” from The Tortured Poets Department, Swift revealed the anger she felt about them.

In the song’s most brutal verse, she sings, “I’ll tell you something right now / I’d rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning / I’ll tell you something about my good name, it’s mine alone to disgrace / I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empaths’ clothing.”

This outrage isn’t terribly surprising, given a source spoke to People in June about how Healy’s public scandals did not factor into Swift’s opinion of him. They didn’t cause the former couple’s breakup either.

“He likes to provoke a response out of people,” the source said. Then they addressed fan concern for the singer, saying Swift is “a grown woman more than capable of forming her own opinions about people. No one forces her into anything, especially not these days. She’s on top of the world.”

Swift’s “But Daddy, I Love Him” lyrics say a lot about her feelings that summer. Not only do they offer a rare scathing comment to some “judgmental” fans (“all these vipers dressed in empaths’ clothing,” as she put it), but they show Swift’s own dark humor and willingness to poke fun at the public’s perception of her.

Swift did this before in her song “Blank Space.” She explained of its premise in 2016:

It got pretty out of control there for a couple of years…. Every article was like, “Taylor Swift, standing near some guy—watch out, guy!”… My first reaction was to be like, That’s a bummer. This isn’t fun for me. But then my second reaction ended up being like, Hey, that’s actually a really kind of interesting character they’re writing about. She jet sets around the world, collecting men, and she can get any of them… but she’s so clingy, so they leave and she cries and then she gets another one in her web and she traps them and locks them in her mansion and then she’s crying in her marble bathtub surrounded by pearls. So I was like, I can use this.

It seems that Taylor Swift may have been planning to write “But Daddy I Love Him” since 2010, based on this old clip.
