Emma Stone is said to have earned a cowriting credit on Taylor Swift's latest album. Taylor Swift, 34, released her highly anticipated The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology album on Friday, April 19. One song that caught fans' attention is "Florida!!!" which reportedly features Stone, 35, as a collaborator. (It's worth noting that Stone's name is not listed in the writing credits for the song, and she has not confirmed her involvement.)
Swift and Stone have remained close friends since they first met at an event in 2008. Throughout the years, they have always been there to support each other's careers. In fact, Stone even had a song dedicated to her called “When Emma Falls in Love,” which was featured on Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) released in July 2023.
Although Stone has not released any of her own music, she is a talented singer. She has showcased her vocal abilities in various Broadway performances and musical movies.
The song also includes vocals from Florence + the Machine's Florence Welch. There are rumors that the song is about Taylor Swift's breakup with Joe Alwyn after being together for six years.
In the first verse, Swift sings about her friends smelling like weed or babies and feeling like she's driving herself crazy in the city. She reflects on the idea that your home may not truly belong to you, but rather you are just a guest in a town. This leads to working hard just to afford a timeshare in Destin.
Welch sings the second verse, revealing that the song is centered around a significant heartbreak and the decision to move to a new state to heal.
In an interview with iHeartRadio, Swift emphasized the significance of the song after the release of her album.
Swift explained that she was thinking about what happens when your life doesn't seem to fit, or when the choices you've made come back to haunt you. She wondered if there is a place you can go when you are faced with harsh consequences, judgment, and circumstances that have led you somewhere unexpected, and all you want to do is escape from everything you've ever known.
She mentioned watching Dateline where people commit crimes and then immediately flee town, heading to Florida to start fresh with a new identity, blending in. This idea of reinventing oneself resonated with her, especially after a breakup.
Fans have picked up on this dual meaning and have connected it to Alwyn, seeing parallels between wanting to escape and start anew in both situations.
After confirming their breakup in April 2023, Swift's Eras Tour made a stop in Tampa. During the concert, she made a subtle reference to the split.
On stage, Swift joked, "Do we have a lot of things to catch up on or is it just me? It's been a really long time since I've been on tour. And to say that a lot has happened is an understatement."
