In “Elizabeth Taylor,” Swift draws upon the titular icon’s storied personal life to express anxieties about her own. In fact, the opening lines — “Elizabeth Taylor, do you think it’s forever?” — read almost as if she’s asking the late star for clarity in navigating love in the public eye. Expanding on that inspiration, Swift nods to Portofino, the Italian village where Richard Burton reportedly proposed to Taylor (and the namesake of Swift’s glittery orange TLOAS vinyl). “And if your letters ever said goodbye, I’d cry my eyes violet,” Swift sings in the chorus, an apparent nod to Burton’s love letters.
