Taylor praised her faithful Swiftie and commented on his post: “This is the official music video,” along with a trophy emoji, to which he gave a shocked response and affectionately called her “mom.”
In The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, widely believed to be about Swift’s short-lived 1975 romance with 35-year-old frontman Matty Healy, the star shares her disappointment and confusion over a breakup.
Giacomo’s clip opens in the second half of the song, with Swift singing, “Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?” / Have you slept with a gun under our bed? / Were you writing a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy?’
The TikToker is seen stepping out of a car garage in a baby blue vest, stumbling and holding onto his side, as if he has been injured.
He then takes a fake gun from under a car while he continues to sing along passionately.
He is then taken away by two men as a police car drives by as Swift sings, “In fifty years, will this all be released?/ And you’ll confess why you did it.”
Elsewhere in the song, Swift ponders whether anything in the relationship was “true” as she describes a man staring at her “starry-eyed” and wearing a “Jehovah’s Witness suit.”
It seems to be a reference to Healy who regularly performs in a black suit and tie during his shows.
She goes on to say that the man “ghosted” her before adding, “I don’t even want you back, I just want to know if rusting my sparkling summer was the goal.”
It once again points to Matty as the muse for the song, as Swift reportedly dated him in the summer of 2023, following her split from her longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn, 33.

Swift goes on to sing, “I don’t miss what we had, but could someone give a message to the smallest man that ever lived?”
Later she adds cheekily, “You didn’t measure up to a man.”
The superstar shares her pain over the heartbreak and sings: ‘I would have died for your sins. Instead, I just died inside.”
She ends the ballad with the lyrics, “And I’ll forget you, but I’ll never forgive / The smallest man that ever lived.”
Swift’s eleventh studio album was released on April 19.
Before the album’s release, many speculated that it would chronicle her breakup with Alwyn, but much of the album seems to focus on her short-lived romance with Healy instead.
However, fans noticed that few of the songs also seemed to be about her current relationship with Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, 34.
This includes the song ‘So High School’, which compares her feelings for her boyfriend to the fact that she is sixteen again.
The track is one of 31 songs on her eleventh studio album, Tortured Poet’s Department, released on April 19.
“Truth, dare, spin bottles / You know how to ball, I know Aristotle / Brand new, full throttle / Touch me when your brothers play Grand Theft Auto,” she sings in the second verse, referencing the dynamic of athlete and pop star .
Another song that seems to be dedicated to Kelce is “The Alchemy,” which uses sports metaphors like scoring “touchdowns” and removing loser exes “from the team.”
It comes after Kelce was called out for being both “corny” and “cheesy” over his response to attention during his high-profile romance with Swift.
That’s according to country star Jana Kramer, who was notably married to former NFL player Mike Caussin from 2015 to 2021.
“He reminds me of my ex,” the 40-year-old One Tree Hill TV star told Josie Van Dyke during the Sunday, May 5, episode of her “Whine Down” podcast.
“But it just feels a bit corny, cheesy. It just feels like he likes the attention.”
Kramer further revealed that she initially “loved” the couple’s PDA-filled relationship — like when Swift and Kelce kissed on the court moments after the AFC Championship win in Kansas City — but then began to take notice of some behavior patterns of the Chiefs.
Fans noted that few songs on the album seem to be about her current relationship with Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce, 34; the duo was seen at Super Bowl LVIII in February
‘And then I just heard things that I didn’t like. But then again, I just want everyone to be happy, that’s what I do by default. I don’t know, it’s something about him that reminds me of my ex and just rubs me the wrong way,” Kramer continued.
She then claimed, “To me, he’s always drunk. Every time I’ve ever seen a video, he’s just always drunk. And I hope she doesn’t continue with that. I see her drinking more now, just like the company you keep.”
Kelce and Swift are almost a year into their romance, as the pair were first romantically linked in the summer of 2023.
The pop star revealed in her Time Magazine Person of the Year profile that she and Kelce were already dating by the time she saw him play against the Chicago Bears in his family’s suite in September.
