Bigger Than The Whole Sky

Bigger Than The Whole Sky

Taylor Swift

“Bigger Than The Whole Sky” is the fifteenth track off Midnights (3am Edition) and the second bonus track on the album, which was surprise released at 3am, three hours after the original Midnights release. “Bigger Than The Whole Sky” is a song about losing someone important to you despite only spending a short time with them and wondering what it would have been like if things had turned out differently. Swift leaves the sort of loss open to interpretation, but it likely signifies a miscarriage or the loss of a loved one that was gone too soon. Additionally, parallels to “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve”, the nineteenth track of Midnights (3am Edition), imply it could be about Swift ‘losing’ her childhood and innocence after allegedly being groomed by a 32-year-old John Mayer when she was 19.
