The ādid some bird flap itās wings over in Asia?ā Storks ( stereotypically used to signal pregnancy) are native to Asia. As someone who has had multiple miscarriages this song perfectly describes the emotions, the soul crushing grief and honestly guilt you feel a lot of times. Itās not your fault but in that moment you question ā could I have done something betterā āis it my faultā or like she said ādid some force take you because I didnāt pray?ā. Not sure if Taylor went through this herself or sheās writing from anotherās experiences but Iām so grateful that she was so open and brave and giving to share this with us. Itās helped a lot of people. More than sheāll ever know Iām sure.

Iāve always thought this song was about a miscarriage, but I just now realized it could be about her friend who died right after Speak Now was released. I remember her saying that he was the first person she played her songs to, so losing him, in addition to losing one of her best friends, she lost someone she trusted to advise her in her career, which probably felt like all areas of her life were crumbling. Forever Winter is also rumored to be about him and she may have been brought back to that grief after recording that.

I lost my boyfriend in March 2022. That night, there was northern lights all over the sky.
During the months after, I quickly understood that not a single TS song was about grief, unless Marjorie that I was already associating with my grandmother. I was really sad, because my reflex has always been listening to her music when I needed it.
So I was really emotional when I found out at 3AM that there was a song called Bigger Than The Whole Sky, just like the northern lights. It's like she listened to my need and write this for me, for healing and for grieving.
I associate this song so much with grief and loss. I find it interesting that she mention the "you were more than just a short time". For me, it makes sense for a relationship, because on a lifetime, relationships can be a short time but change you forever. <3

Such a beautiful song. I donāt have this personal experience, but ever since I heard the correlation to miscarriage, I canāt unhear that. The level of grief and sadness of this song is so deep. I feel like this song has helped me understand what some of my friends have experienced. Much love to all the girlies out there who have gone through this š

Having a miscarriage leads to feeling a loneliness thatās incomparable. And itās kind of like speaking a certain language no one else speaks unless they went through the same. Taylor showed us that she speaks our language. Thatās why itās so hard to imagine this as being about anything else.

This is so weird to say and itās only cuz Iām in the medical field but the beginning of the song has always reminded me of the noise a pregnancy ultrasound makes except thereās no baby heart beat. It just void static. And I do think this has to be about a loss of a baby, itās such a indescribable pain and she captured it very well. š¢ā¤

Having been through several miscarriages, to me this cannot be about anything else. She captures the pain and deep loss perfectly. The lying down tears. Wow. Also the guilt and anger over ..did I do something wrong to lose it...did I not say enough prayers. If you have been through miscarriage...you know šā¤ļøš·

This song really reminds me of "Forever Winter" from RED. Immediately I thought about that there's a lyric in that song "3 am pacing" and this is the 3 am edition of midnights. But mainly, I get from both songs the feeling she would have done anything to keep the bad thing from happening if she would have known it was coming. Also in both songs she explores the theme of loss of a future. Like when she says in forever winter "too young to know it gets better... Forever winter if you go" which both suggests something ending too early (it was more than just a short time) and a loss of somone who should've gotten to grow older (what should've been you). I'd be interested to hear whether those thoughts crossed any other persons mind
Also I really enjoy your reactions, Bonnie and Emily, thank you so much š©·

"every single thing to come has turned into ashes" reminds me of when I found out I was pregnant the first time and immediately my mind created images of me with my baby, like i couldn't help imagining and figuring out how old the baby will be at my next birthday and at Christmas and when will they graduate etc etc. Then when the miscarriage happened at 11 weeks it was like all those images burnt as photographs burn. That line hits me so much that the life I could have had and should have had is in ashes now..

taylor is truly one of the most introspective people in the world, and I really believe this song could be about her grieving a past self. especially if we take it in context with wouldve couldāve shouldāve and other songs that discuss the pains of growing up and getting older throughout her discography, I think it fits so well into the thoughts that couldāve been haunting her at 3am. so excited to watch, but not ready for this fathoming š

Having had a miscarriage myself, I canāt imagine itās about anything else. This song is so difficult to listen to ā¦. It really hits THAT deep into that visceral sadness š¢
