Taylor Swift’s new voice memo for ‘My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,’ part of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD), has struck an emotional chord with her fans.

Behind-the-Scenes Look at Taylor Swift’s Creative Process

Taylor Swift, the 34-year-old global pop icon, surprised fans with the release of a behind-the-scenes voice memo for her bonus track ‘My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys.’ The voice memo, which captures Swift’s raw vocals and thoughts during the song’s creation, was made available as part of the TTPD standard digital album for a limited time. This exclusive offer was announced via Swift’s Instagram story, where she shared the album cover along with a link to purchase the memo for $4.99.

The availability of the track was limited to the US and was set to expire at 11:59 a.m. ET on Sunday, August 4. This move is reminiscent of Swift’s earlier releases, where she shared three First Draft Phone Memos of tracks from the TTPD album, including ‘The Black Dog,’ ‘Cassandra,’ and ‘Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?’ back in May. These memos provide fans with a glimpse into Swift’s creative process, highlighting her raw and unfiltered vocals.

Fan Reactions to the Emotional Voice Memo

The release of the voice memo quickly gained attention on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). An ardent fan shared a snippet of the memo, which has since garnered over 133,000 views. In the clip, Swift can be heard discussing the unconventional structure of the song, saying, “OK, so this is kind of an abnormal structure, but I think it could be really cool this way.” She added, “It sounds sad because it’s on piano, and I’m sad in general, but it’s got to have like a driving synth beat or whatever.”
