In the whirlwind of her global Eras Tour, Taylor Swift isn’t just dazzling fans with her performances; she’s also spotlighting fan-favorite tracks. The latest? Her heartfelt single “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” from the album The Tortured Poets Department. Announced through the 34-year-old pop sensation’s official fan management account, Taylor Nation, as her next single, the tune is already stirring hearts and playlists alike.
“Today is special because Taylor’s declaring it the next single from #TSTTPD!” Swift’s team shared on Instagram Tuesday, July 16. With a cheeky nod to the lyrics, they added, “We’re so depressed we act like it’s #ICanDoItWithABrokenHeart’s birthday every day! But today is special because Taylor’s declaring it the next single from #TSTTPD! Lights, camera, b*tch, listen to see the cute new cover on all streaming platforms.”
Accompanying the single announcement, Swift unveiled new cover art for the track. The image features the “Cruel Summer” singer beaming in mid-performance, sporting a glittery top and metallic blazer surrounded by showgirl feathers. Written and released amidst the trials of a painful breakup, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” showcases Swift hyping herself up to face her audience night after night — a true testament to her resilience. “I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my sh*t,” she sings.
After the announcement was made, Swifties have been nothing short of ecstatic, with comments pouring in from all corners of the globe.
“I LOVE I CAN DO IT WITH A BROKEN HEART,” one fan exclaimed.
“Crying a lot and not at all productive bc this is the cutest cover 😭,” another person said.
“THIS IS EVERYTHING,” shouted a third.
The track originally impacted the Billboard Hot 100 when the album made its debut on Friday, April 19. During that time, it peaked at No. 3 and has since continued to dominate. Now, as a single, it’s set to capture even more hearts, underscored by an instrumental version for the karaoke warriors ready to echo Swift’s cathartic chords.
