The song\u2019s title refers to a \u201cbolter,\u201d someone who flees from situations\u2014particularly relationships\u2014at the first sign of emotional commitment. She also explored this theme on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/speak-now-album\/speak-now-songs\/mine\/\">Mine<\/a>\u201c, the lead single from her third album, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/speak-now-album\/\">Speak Now<\/a><\/em>, in 2010. <br><br>\nIn \u201cThe Bolter,\u201d Taylor paints a portrait of herself a woman whose past has shaped her tendency to abandon love before it can deepen, driven by the fear of intimacy and a desire to protect herself from heartache. She draws a parallel between her emotional flight and an incident from her childhood in which she almost drowned. This near-death experience acts as a catalyst for her thrill-seeking and self-protective behavior, prompting her to seek intense but fleeting connections that allow her to avoid vulnerability. As she matures, she finds herself entering relationships full of passion, only to retreat when the emotional stakes become too high. Despite her initial enthusiasm, she cannot face the deeper emotional exposure that lasting love requires.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-199c6e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"199c6e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9146010430\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-402eeba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"402eeba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Live Performances<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1df946 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e1df946\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor first performed \u201cThe Bolter\u201d on June 8, 2024, while on the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/tours\/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour\/\">The Eras Tour<\/a>\u201d in Edinburgh.

six in frigid water<br>And I can confirm she made<br>A curious child, ever reviled<br>By everyone except her own father<br>With a quite bewitching face<br>Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless<br>Excellent fun til you get to know her<br>Then she runs like it\u2019s a race<br>Behind her back, her best mates laughed<br>And they nicknamed her \u201cThe

bolt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Chorus]<\/strong><br>Started with a kiss,<br>\u201cOh, we must stop meeting like this\u201d<br>But it always ends up with a town car speeding<br>Out the drive one

Bolter Bonus Track | THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY (2024) \u201cThe Bolter\u201d is track twenty-nine on THE ANTHOLOGY, the double-album edition of Taylor\u2019s eleventh studio album, THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT\u00a0(2024). Co-written by her and Aaron Dessner, the song narrates the story of a woman who, after a near-drowning incident in her youth, develops a thrill-seeking and self-protective demeanor. As she matures, she engages in relationships that start with passion but inevitably end with her retreating, unable to confront the vulnerability of lasting intimacy. Table of Contents Background Taylor started working on THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT immediately after she submitted her tenth studio album, Midnights (2022) for release and continued working on it in secrecy throughout the first US leg of \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d in 2023. The album\u2019s \u201cBolter\u201d deluxe edition along with the song was announced during her show in Melbourne on February 16, 2024. Taylor reflected on the creation of the record as a \u201clifeline\u201d for her, as it took place amidst countless media reports on her personal life and her relationships with Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy, and Travis Kelce: \u00abThis album, this new one, TORTURED POETS, is an album that I think, more than any of my albums that I\u2019ve ever made, I needed to make it. It was really a lifeline for me, just the things I was going through, and the things I was writing about. It kind of reminded me of why songwriting is something that actually gets me through my life. And I\u2019ve never had an album where I needed songwriting more than I\u2019d needed it on TORTURED POETS. And I wanted to show you something tonight, because we\u2019ve got an alternate cover to THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT that nobody has seen, and there\u2019s an exclusive song on this vinyl called \u2018The Bolter.\u2019 So this is called \u2018The Bolter Edition.\u2019 Look at that cover! It\u2019s so tortured, so poetic.\u00bb Taylor Swift Since it is a bonus track, \u201cThe Bolter\u201d is part of the double-album edition of the record, THE ANTHOLOGY, which was released digitally on April 19, shortly after the standard edition. Lyrical Theme The protagonist in \u201cThe Bolter\u201d is someone who has been shaped by past traumas, often fleeing from relationships when things begin to feel too intimate or vulnerable. The song\u2019s title refers to a \u201cbolter,\u201d someone who flees from situations\u2014particularly relationships\u2014at the first sign of emotional commitment. She also explored this theme on \u201cMine\u201c, the lead single from her third album, Speak Now, in 2010. In \u201cThe Bolter,\u201d Taylor paints a portrait of herself a woman whose past has shaped her tendency to abandon love before it can deepen, driven by the fear of intimacy and a desire to protect herself from heartache. She draws a parallel between her emotional flight and an incident from her childhood in which she almost drowned. This near-death experience acts as a catalyst for her thrill-seeking and self-protective behavior, prompting her to seek intense but fleeting connections that allow her to avoid vulnerability. As she matures, she finds herself entering relationships full of passion, only to retreat when the emotional stakes become too high. Despite her initial enthusiasm, she cannot face the deeper emotional exposure that lasting love requires. Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cThe Bolter\u201d on June 8, 2024, while on the \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d in Edinburgh. She sang it as a mashup with \u201cGetaway Car\u201d (2017). The live audio was released on August 8, 2024. In Indianapolis on November 3, 2024, she paired it with \u201cCornelia Street\u201d (2019). Critical Reception Critics praised \u201cThe Bolter\u201d for its introspective lyrics and compelling narrative. For instance, Stay Free Radio described it as \u201ca powerful ballad that explores the complexities of escaping destructive relationships and the addictive pull of toxic patterns.\u201d Additionally, Ms. Magazine highlighted the song\u2019s empowerment theme, noting that Taylor \u201cgives the bolter a voice\u2014one that until now had been silent.\u201d Commercial Performance Upon the album\u2019s release, \u201cThe Bolter\u201d debuted and peaked at No. 47 on the US Billboard Hot 100, during the chart week ending on May 4, 2024. Lyrics [Verse 1]By all accounts, she almost drownedWhen she was six in frigid waterAnd I can confirm she madeA curious child, ever reviledBy everyone except her own fatherWith a quite bewitching faceSplendidly selfish, charmingly helplessExcellent fun til you get to know herThen she runs like it\u2019s a raceBehind her back, her best mates laughedAnd they nicknamed her \u201cThe Bolter\u201d [Chorus 1]Started with a kiss,\u201cOh, we must stop meeting like this\u201dBut it always ends up with a town car speedingOut the drive one eveningEnded with the slam of a door,Then he\u2019ll call her a \u2018whore\u2019Wish he wouldn\u2019t be soreBut as she was leavingIt felt like breathingAll her fuckin livesFlashed before her eyesIt feels like the timeShe fell through the ice\u2026Then came out alive [Verse 2]He was a cad, wanted her badJust like any good trophy hunterAnd she liked the way it tastesTaming a bear, making him careWatching him jump then pulling him underAnd at first blush, this is fateWhen it\u2019s all roses, portrait posesCentral Park Lake in tiny rowboatsWhat a charming Saturday!That\u2019s when she sees the littlest leaksDown in the floorboardsAnd she just knows.She must bolt. [Chorus]Started with a kiss,\u201cOh, we must stop meeting like this\u201dBut it always ends up with a town car speedingOut the drive one eveningEnded with the slam of a door,Then he\u2019ll call her a \u2018whore\u2019Wish he wouldn\u2019t be soreBut as she was leavingIt felt like breathingAll her fuckin livesFlashed before her eyes\u00a0It feels like the timeShe fell through the ice\u2026Then came out alive [Bridge]She\u2019s been many places withMen of many facesFirst they\u2019re off to the racesAnd she\u2019s laughing drawing acesBut none of it is changingThat the chariot is waitingHearts are hers for the breakingThere\u2019s escape in escaping [Final Chorus]Started with a kiss,\u201cOh, we must stop meeting like this\u201dBut it always ends up with a town car speedingOut the drive one eveningEnded with the slam of a doorBut she\u2019s got the best stories,You can be sureThat as she
