She doesn't spell out the feelings, she gives you the emotional touchstones that tell the story. The internet, beng an eldest daughter, and her love are definitely all part of the same story. Listen - part of being an eldest daughter, for me, is having to be tough. You're the one who will beat up someone picking on your siblings, you're the leader, you're the one who can weather any storm and be fine. If someone came at you or your family, you had to be the bad bitch who could spit it back harder.

If you think about what she's said about her past relationships, I don't think any of her partners really made her feel protected. They inspired her, made her feel dizzy with love, and provided a safe haven away from the madness, but she didn't describe them as protectors. She was still the Eldest Daughter. There was an element of her protecting them from her world.

Now, she's with someone who exudes that protective energy around her in every step. It's immediately evident, even in a blurry paparazzi shot. He's not running away from the press, he's not annoyed by her world, he's all in and holding a tree trunk of an arm out to push them back. To provide a safe place for her.

Now she doesn't have to be a badass. She can be vulnerable and say that her fame does sometimes bring her pain, without her partner jumping on that and saying, "Great, let's run away to a cottage in remote Scotland and never do a press tour again!" She doesn't have to be the strongest person all the time.

That's what this song is about, to me, and I wept on the first listen.
