About

Genius Annotation

How Did It End? sends a clear message: No one cares about you in the breakup, only about the breakup. Taylor Swift’s lyrics tell us all we need to know in this song about this breakup, singing “[Their] maladies are such, [they] could not cure them,” but people press on for how it all happened. With such fame and notoriety that Swift has, it’s no surprise that it’s “come one, come all” to this introspective on how it feels to go through heartbreak, only for people to brush aside those feelings in the pursuit of details. It’s a heart-wrenching warning that even at your worst moments, you can still be used for clicks.
