Taylor Swift dated actor Tom Hiddleston for a few months back in 2016 and now fans think she’s singing about him on her new song “Pink Clouding,” released 10 years after their breakup.
Taylor and Tom had a whirlwind romance in the summer of 2016, with sightings of them across the world.
What are the lyrics for “Pink Clouding” and what do they mean?
Taylor didn’t want to let this guy down, so she ended things and left him on a “pink cloud.”
In the chorus, she sings, “‘Cause I was pink clouding from the thrill of it (Pink) / Skydiving as you wrapped your arms around my body / Gray rocking where the arrow hit (Gray) / Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry / I didn’t want to let you down (Pink cloud, pink cloud) / So I left you up there on a pink cloud (Pink, pink cloud).”
Taylor seems to apologize to this ex on the bridge.
I hope
You realized my kind of trouble wasn’t worth it
And the way I treated you, you never deserved it
And I swear to God, to this day
I wake up scared that I left scars on a good person
And I gave you zero reason to believe it
So be it
But it didn’t mean nothing
Just ’cause I could leave it
At the end of the song Taylor, says she hopes this guy “landed safely on the ground” and “I hope you’re so happy now.”

“I’ve learned that there are many sides to a story, and that sometimes there are a lot of stories out there which are false and the hardest thing is to try to not let those falsehoods affect your own life, that’s what I would say,” he told THR.
