Swift said the breakups, with Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, influenced the recording of her album The Tortured Poets Department. She described the project as a release of emotions built up over two difficult years.

In the episode, Swift explained that there were moments when the tour became her main source of stability. She said performing helped her maintain a sense of purpose during a challenging period in her personal life. According to Swift, the tour itself was never the hard part. She described it as the one constant that helped her keep going.

Swift also addressed how touring has affected her relationships in the past. She said balancing a relationship while on tour had often been difficult, as she felt unable to fully give attention to both at the same time.
