Taylor Swift has just dropped a bombshell announcement: “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” the infectiously upbeat anthem from her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” is officially the next single to soar into the spotlight.
The news hit Taylor Nation, the pop star’s official online hub, like a confetti-filled bomb, leaving fans abuzz. The message read: “We’re so depressed we act like it’s #ICanDoItWithABrokenHeart’s birthday every day! But today is special because Taylor’s declaring it the next single from #TSTTPD!”
Accompanied by a visual feast of Swift radiating joy as she belts out the song during one of her electrifying Eras Tour shows, it has her resplendent in top and blazer, showgirl feathers whirling around her, perfectly capturing the blend of heartbreak and resilience that went into this song.
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” is proof that Swift can transform personal pain into anthem power. Written and recorded mid-whirlwind 2022 Eras Tour, it sees Swift digging deep into her inner warrior to plow through the emotional turmoil in order to give electrifying performances each night.
“I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my s**t/ They said, ‘Babe, you gotta fake it ’til you make it’ and I did,” she sings, and her voice just bursts with determination. “Breaking down, I hit the floor/ All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting, ‘More!'”
But Swift’s not making fans wait to join in on the emotional rollercoaster. As part of the single’s drop, she gifted fans with a standalone release of the song and an instrumental version, perfect for unleashing their inner karaoke star.
