Down Bad, the fourth track on Swift’s eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. Its main character likens love to being abducted by an alien, experiencing the galaxy, only to be left back in her home town, wishing to go back to that feeling. In a iHeartRadio interview, Taylor said:

The metaphor in ‘Down Bad’ is that I was comparing sort of the idea of being love bombed. Where someone…rocks your world and dazzles you and then just kind of abandons you….This girl is abducted by aliens but she wanted to stay with them…And then when they drop her back off in her hometown, she’s like, ‘Wait, no, where are you going? I liked it there! It was weird but it was cool. Come back!’ And so…the girl in the character in the song felt like, ‘I’ve just been exposed to a whole different galaxy and universe and didn’t know it was possible, how could you just put me back where I was before?’

The song has fans confused, as at one point she seem to sing about Matty Healy’s public reputation.

I loved your hostile takeovers, Encounters closer and closer, All your indecent exposures, How dare you say that it’s – I’ll build you a fort on some planet.

The lyric “I’ll build you a fort on some planet,”. Can either be a direct easter egg towards the first track, “Fortnight”, but as most know Swift as a “Mastermind”, and how she uses her words to tell a story. These wordings can lead to a whole other dimension, most likely being her “home planet”, as an alien who fell in love with a mortal who took over her planet just to experiment with her feelings.

Within the lyrics Swift depicts Healy more as a twin or a sibling rather than of a love interest.

Like I lost my twin
