Taylor Swift has done it again, people! The 34-year-old global megastar just finished the European leg of The Eras Tour, but instead of taking a well-deserved nap like any normal human, she decided to gift her Swifties with something even better: a surprise music video! Because who needs rest when you can drop bangers and iconic visuals on a Tuesday?
This time, Taylor blessed us with the video for her new single, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” which, let’s be honest, is the ultimate theme song for anyone who’s ever cried over spilled coffee, a missed deadline, or, you know, actual heartbreak (we see you, Joe). But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just any music video; this is a behind-the-scenes extravaganza featuring none other than Taylor herself—sneaking through backstage hallways like a pop star ninja and dramatically leaping under the stage like she’s auditioning for the next Mission: Impossible movie. Honestly, Tom Cruise is quaking.
The song is the second single off Taylor’s latest masterpiece of an album, The Tortured Poets Department—because when you’ve conquered pop music, why not also become the Dean of Feels? The album has been sitting comfortably at number one on the Billboard 200 chart for 15 non-consecutive weeks, which means it’s officially harder to dethrone than the stubborn Wi-Fi router you’ve been meaning to reset for months.
And the video? Pure gold. We get to see Taylor living her best life, riding around in a cleaning cart like she’s at Disneyland but make it backstage, all while prepping for her nightly three-hour therapy session (disguised as a concert). Swifties are already donning their detective hats (as they do) and are convinced that this is all part of a larger, possibly earth-shattering documentary about The Eras Tour. If true, get ready for a multi-part docu-series that will probably need its own streaming platform.
Now that Taylor has dazzled Europe and made everyone question their life choices in the process, she’s heading back to North America. She’ll be hitting up select cities through the end of the year, so if you haven’t caught her live yet, start camping out for tickets now. No seriously, now.
