Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?
When Emma Falls in Love (1989 [Taylor’s Version], 2023)
Who was it about: Emma Stone
Lyrics: “Cause she’s the kind of book that you can’t put down… Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town… And all the bad boys would be good boys… If they only had a chance to love her… And to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her.”
Story behind the lyrics: Amidst the lyrical landscape of “When Emma Falls in Love” is a loving tribute to Emma Stone, painting her as a captivating book, an enchantress akin to Cleopatra but with the charm of small-town grace. This confession, “Sometimes I wish I was her,” is laden with a mix of longing and admiration. Most of Taylor’s past relationships burned bright yet ended in a pile of ashes, so this was her way of saying that she wanted a love that was equally sweet and slow, just like how Emma’s relationships were.
