Taylor Swift Wrote a New Poem for British Vogue

As Taylor Swift has yet to do any interviews with the press to coincide with her Reputation album release, the Swift Nation was granted a gift of sorts with her new British Vogue cover — her one and only magazine cover since coming back into the public eye this year. However, she didn't actually get interviewed for British Vogue, choosing only to be photographed in the edgy shoot by famed photographers Mert and Marcus. Now, though, Taylor has thrown us a little literary treat to tide us over until her tour next year.

Called "The Trick to Holding On," Taylor published a new, never-before-seen poem for the article in which she "reflects on the lessons learned as she moves into the next chapter of her life." And while she doesn't directly name names — when has she ever? — it's clear Taylor is looking back at somebody who has betrayed her in some capacity.

Let go of the ones who hurt you
Let go of the ones you outgrow
Let go of the words they hurl your way
as you’re walking out the door
The only thing cut and dry
In this hedge-maze life
Is the fact that their words will cut
but your tears will dry

They don’t tell you this when you are young
You can’t hold on to everything
Can’t show up for everyone
You pick your poison
Or your cure
Phone numbers you know by heart
And the ones you don’t answer any more

Calvin Harris? Kimye? TBD on who she's no longer picking up the phone for. The rest of the poem's stanzas, though, take on a much more optimistic tone as 2018 nears.

Hold on to the faint recognition in
the eye of a stranger
As it catches you in its lustrous net
How quickly we become intertwined
How wonderful it is to forget
All the times your intuition failed you
But it hasn’t killed you yet
Hold on to childlike whims and moonlight
swims and your blazing self-respect

And if you drive the roads of this town
Ones you’ve gone down so many times before
Flashback to all the times
Life nearly ran you off the road
But tonight your hand is steady
Suddenly you’ll know
The trick to holding on
Was all that letting go

Honestly, this could've been a bonus Reputation track.
