Speak Now 2023 album: Is Taylor Swift’s song When Emma Falls in Love about Emma Stone?

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Taylor Swift’s fans are on the moon, with the singer-songwriter releasing a number of her re-recorded songs and albums in recent times. Her newest re-recorded set, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) has just been released, and every song and its lyrics are being dissected. One particular song has interested fans from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) – it is called When Emma Falls in Love, and fans are of the opinion that it is about Emma Stone. The Spider-Man actor is one of the best friends of Taylor Swift, and the things spoken about in the song match her life. The Swifties could be right.

Taylor Swift and Emma Stone have been friends since the 2008 Young Hollywood Awards, when they first connected and chatted on email (there were no smartphones then, remember?). The two are thick friends and often spotted together at events and concerts. Obvio, they also share secrets. In the song When Emma Falls in Love, there are lyrics about Emma Stone discussing her boyfriends with her mother that hint towards her. Emma is very close to her mom. There is also the line “‘Cause Little Miss Sunshine always thinks it’s gonna rain” that references Emma’s Easy A – it has a scene where her character sings Pocketful of Sunshine. The line “Sometimes I wish I was her” is an easter egg to a 2011 interview of Taylor Swift with Napster, where the singer says she’d happily trade places with the actor for a day. The final clue is that Taylor herself said about When Emma Falls in Love that she wrote it “about one of my best friends”. She was speaking at the Kansas City concert on July 7, where she also rendered the track’s piano version.
