Taylor Swift在2024年4月19號釋出她的第11張專輯折磨詩人俱樂部TTPD(The Tortured Poets Department)，更是在發布隔天 2AM 釋出雙專輯，共31首歌。Taylor 近年的創作自Forklore 以後，歌詞字字句句更是赤裸與直接，而TTPD更是讓我看見了她極度矛盾衝突的黑暗面，尤如她所說：「那些她所有的故事，現在都是我們的了。」
Soundtrack28 | Peter 引用《彼得潘與溫蒂》（Peter Pan and Wendy）。小說講述一個會飛的淘氣小男孩彼得潘與溫蒂在永無島的冒險故事，在最後的章節裡，作品的最後一句是這樣寫的：「只要孩子們是歡樂的、天真的、無憂無慮的，他們就可以飛向永無島去。」
18年過去，Taylor Swift 早就不是當年那位純粹的鄉村女孩了，<Peter> Taylor 在猶如Champangne problems的鋼琴伴奏下與Peter對話，有人說是在對以往初戀的男友的陳述，但對我而言，Taylor雖然也想像Peter Pan一樣當個長不大的小孩耍任性，但現實的殘酷，她必須痛定思痛，將那盞燈熄滅，與自己的過去小孩告別。

As the men masqueraded, I hoped you’d return

With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you’d learned

‘Cause love’s never lost when perspective is earned

And you said you’d come and get me, but you were twenty-five
你會你會來接我 但你已經25歲了
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
所有在書架上的幻想早已過期
Lost to the “Lost Boys” chapter of your life
