What's The Real Meaning Of When Emma Falls In Love By Taylor Swift? Here's What We Think

Unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift's "When Emma Falls In Love" is about a woman named Emma who... yep, falls in love. The dainty mid-tempo song (which Swift wrote alone and co-produced with Aaron Dessner) opens with Swift singing, "When Emma falls in love, she paces the floor / Closes the blinds and locks the door / When Emma falls in love, she calls up her mom / Jokes about the ways that this one could go wrong / She waits and takes her time." She also sings about how Emma doesn't hide it when she likes someone, and jokes about how her friends make fun of her for how she tends to be all in when she's with someone.

In the chorus though, Swift sings a little less about what happens when Emma finds a partner and more about how much she really admires her friend. "'Cause she's the kind of book that you can't put down / Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town / And all the bad boys would be good boys / If they only had a chance to love her / And to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her," she shares. How sweet is that?
