Taylor Swift’s Name-Drop for Lucy Dacus: The Juicy Details You Can’t Miss!

Let’s dive into this latest chapter of the pop music soap opera, shall we? Lucy Dacus, the indie darling of Boygenius, has recently spilled the tea about a rather delightful surprise: Taylor Swift sought her blessing to name-drop her on the title track of Swift’s upcoming album, *The Tortured Poets Department*. Picture it: Taylor, queen of the lyrical realm, texting Lucy with a casual “Hey, can I mention you in my song?” Talk about a royal decree! The song features a line that could be interpreted as a nod to The 1975’s Matty Healy, whom Swift was romantically linked to post her breakup with Joe Alwyn. Dacus reflected on the experience with a blend of disbelief and pride, exclaiming, “This voice that I’ve heard basically what feels like my whole waking life saying my name,” highlighting the surreal nature of hearing her name sung by one of the biggest stars on the planet.
But let’s not overlook the juicy background of this lyric—it’s rumored to be tied to Healy’s complicated relationship with Swift, a saga that has unfolded like a binge-worthy drama series. The album promises to be a mix of heartache and poetic musings, as Swift intertwines her personal life with her art. From the title track to the opening number featuring Post Malone, the lyrics are packed with emotion and references that evoke a nostalgic nod to fleeting romances.
In this lyrical landscape, Dacus has now stepped into a realm where her friendship with Swift enhances the listening experience. With an album that is described as “super open-hearted,” one can’t help but ponder the intricate connections between these artists and the stories they tell. So, as we prepare for the album’s release, let’s keep our ears perked for more revelations and lyrical intricacies. Because if there’s one thing we know for sure, the drama is just getting started.
