The Starting Line Reacts to Taylor Swift’s ‘The Black Dog’ Lyric About the Band’s Song Being ‘Intertwined’ in Her Relationship
The Starting Line, the band behind 2003's "The Best of Me," got a mention on "The Black Dog" on Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' album.
The Starting Line, the group behind the 2003 pop-punk classic “The Best of Me,” got a name-check on Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department album and posted a response to the pop star after hearing the song. Swift references The Starting Line on the emotional ballad “The Black Dog,” found on one of four deluxe editions of her Tortured Poets physical release, and as track No. Later, Swift’s hurt turns to anger as her words shift to “And I hope it’s shitty in The Black Dog/ When someone plays The Starting Line/ And you jump up, but she’s too young/ To know this song that was intertwined/ In the tragic fabric of our dreaming/ ‘Cause tail between your legs, you’re leavin’.”
