Taylor Swift explains meaning behind My Boy Breaks All His Favorite Toys... after Matty Healy responded to her diss track The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived

Taylor Swift is opening up about the lyrics to some of the more esoteric lyrics in her song My Boy Breaks All His Favorite Toys.

The song – which is track three on The Tortured Poet's Department – has fans wondering whether it is about Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy or some other person who has wronged the Shake It Off singer, 34, in the past.

The chorus states: 'My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh / I’m queen of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh / ‘Cause it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night / I should’ve known it was a matter of time, oh, oh.'

In an interview with Amazon Music, the Eras Tour mastermind explained that the theme is a metaphor from the perspective of a child's favorite toy. 

'Being somebody’s favorite toy until they break you and then don’t want to play with you anymore,' she began.

'Which is how a lot of us are in relationships where we are so valued by a person in the beginning, and then all of the sudden, they break us or they devalue us in their mind,' she added.

'We’re still clinging on to "No no, no. You should’ve seen them the first time they saw me. They’ll come back to that. They’ll get back to that,'" she said. 

It is widely thought that the Cruel Summer songstress' songs on The Tortured Poets Department are about her ex-boyfriends Alwyn and Healy, Kim Kardashian (ThanK you aIMee), John Mayer or Jake Gyllenhaal (The Manuscript), and current boyfriend Travis Kelce (The Alchemy). 

Both Alwyn and Healy have responded to Taylor's new album and the lyrics believed to be about them. 

Down Bad, I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can), Fortnight, and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived are rumored to be about the 1975 front man.

The English musician and Lavender Haze singer had a short fling after her breakup with Alwyn.

But while the romance was short, the history between the two musicians goes back more than a decade and is much deeper than fans originally realized. 

Entertainment Tonight caught up with Healy walking down the street in LA and asked him to rate his 'Taylor diss track compared to the 30 others.'

'Diss track?” Healy said. 'I haven’t really listened to that much of it, but I’m sure it’s good.'
