What Does “Pink Clouding” Mean? Fans Think They Know What Taylor Swift’s New Song Could Be About

Taylor Swift just announced The Life of a Showgirl: Encore, a deluxe edition of her latest album with four new songs: “Patient Zero,” “Cleveland!,” “Pink Clouding,” and “Babylon.” And while we literally only have song names to go on at this point, fans think they’ve figured out what—or who—“Pink Clouding” is about.According to Healthline, Pink Clouding, or Pink Cloud Syndrome, “describes a stage of early addiction recovery that involves feelings of euphoria and elation. When you’re in this phase, you feel confident and excited about recovery.” Meanwhile, the folks at Dictionary.com define it as “a sense of euphoria that’s then followed by a crash once reality sets in.”Interestingly, “Pink Clouding” has been explored in Law & Order: SVU, which doesn’t seem like a coincidence considering Taylor’s love for the show and the fact that she Easter egg’d Encore with a Law & Order-themed Emmys skit just over a week ago.Either way, fans are already speculating that “Pink Clouding” could be about Taylor’s relationship with Matty Healy bringing her a false sense of euphoria following her breakup with Joe Alwyn, and then reality setting in once they split up. But that’s just pure speculation, so take it with a grain of salt—the song could honestly go in a million different directions.“Pink Clouding” will drop on Friday night at midnight Eastern Time (super-late night tomorrow for those of you who want to stay up), so we’ll find out what the song means once we get our hands on the lyrics!
