It’s both melodramatic and teenage angsty, stuffed with slogan tee lines like ‘I pictured you with other girls in love, then threw up on the street’ as she skims over past relationships.
Between saving fans from jobsworth security guards on the Eras Tour, re-recording her third studio album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), and dating a semi-problematic frontman, Taylor Swift has found time to release three new songs as part of ‘Midnights (Til Dawn Edition).’ ‘Hits Different’, from 2022, is the danceable heartbreak hit, detailing her breakup from boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn (sob). It’s both melodramatic and teenage angsty, stuffed with slogan tee lines like ‘I pictured you with other girls in love, then threw up on the street’ as she skims over past relationships. But the lyric ‘you were the one that I loved, don't need another metaphor’ has the emotional maturity of a woman secure  in her own truth, levelheadedly accepting the end without blame or malice. It’s melancholy, nostalgic, upbeat and a relatable tale for recently single gals. Queen Tay strikes the bullseye again.
