“My family loves the song, and grandma would have loved it, too,” said Taylor’s grandson, Quinn Tivey, when the song came out last year. “I wish she could have heard it.”
He continued: “Taylor Swift not only made a beautiful homage to Elizabeth Taylor, but it feels like she is addressing her directly while invoking her legacy in a way that is dimensional, confessional, honest, and fun.
“It dances across the trappings of fame and the rollercoaster of falling in love and has so many heartfelt references, from the iconic perfume White Diamonds to her jewellery and, of course, her love of love.”
At the end of the video, some eagle-eyed fans spotted that, although the song was first released in October 2025, the credits read “©2024 Taylor Swift” – confirming that she wrote the track while on the road with her blockbuster Eras tour.
