Who is Emma? Taylor Swift fans are all asking the same thing

Taylor Swift’s Speak Now is finally out with the highly anticipated album featuring the track When Emma Falls in Love – leaving fans wondering… who is Emma?

Speak Now was originally released in 2010, but now Taylor has re-recorded it to celebrate the victory of owning her own music after years of legal battles.

The album features lyric changes to the original songs and six new songs, including “I Can See You” and “When Emma Falls in Love.”

The latter has especially grabbed fans and is rumored to be Taylor’s old friend and Hollywood actress Emma Stone.

But who is Emma? Here are the best fan theories of Taylor Swift’s new song character.

Many fans believe that the song ‘When Emma Falls in Love’ is about her longtime friend Emma Stone – who was in a high-profile relationship with Andrew Garfield when it was first written.

Who Is Emma In Taylor Swift’s New Song?

Emma is the main character of Taylor Swift’s new song and, as the title suggests, is about a girl who falls in love with a boy.

The lyrics at the beginning of the song say, “When Emma falls in love, she calls her mom / Jokes about the ways this one can go wrong / She waits and takes her time / Because little Miss Sunshine always thinks it’s gonna rain .’

What has led many to believe that the song is about Emma Stone, and the “little miss sunshine” line is a reference to the actress’ 2010 teen rom-com Easy A, where she performed the song Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield erupts.

Swift has yet to confirm who Emma is, but Swifty’s are unanimous that the song is based on Emma Stone.

The timing of the song may also be a major hint, although it was released more than a decade later, it was originally an unreleased track in 2010’s Speak Now.

During that time, Swift and Stone had a close relationship and moved around in public, even at events together.

Despite Stone living in Los Angeles at the time, the two were spotted at events in New York, and fans have determined the lyric “She’s so New York when she’s in LA” as further evidence of the character’s identity.

Emma Stone and Taylor Swift endured more than a decade of friendship, attending events and publicly hanging out together when Speak Now was first released

The lyrics also seem to allude to Stone and Swift’s long-standing friendship. “When Emma falls in love, she disappears, and we all laugh after all these years,” the song appears to be an admiration for her friend.

The two have been friends for a decade and Stone even attended the opening night of Swift’s Eras Tour, about which she told Vanity Fair: “I was lucky because we’ve been friends for a long time…so she hooked me up, which was really nice because I know those tickets are impossible to get.

‘She’s a great friend. She surprises me. I mean, the amount of sheer stamina to do three and a half hours and perform 44 songs and hold the audience’s extreme energy – I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Is Taylor Swift’s song about Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield?

Emma Stone started dating Andrew Garfield in 2012, the actor famously described her as “like bathing in the sun” and Taylor Swift fans think this is referenced in her new song

The two met on the set of The Amazing Spider Man and enjoyed the instant on-screen chemistry that grew into a true-to-life love story.

Emma Stone also dated successor star Kieran Culkin before meeting Andrew Garfield, but the two kept their relationship relatively private

Another reason Emma could be Stone is that her ex-boyfriend Andrew Garfield famously described her saying, “She’s like she’s bathed in sunlight.”

The lyrics ‘little miss sunshine’ would therefore have a double meaning and lead many to believe that the song is about Stone’s relationship with Garfield.

The two had a high-profile relationship after meeting on the set of the 2012 movie The Amazing Spider Man, where they played protagonists Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker. Their onscreen chemistry quickly grew into a true-to-life love story.

However, other fan theories suggest that the song could be about her relationship with Succession star Kieran Culkin. The couple dated for a year in 2010 before separating and kept their relationship very private.

Since separating from the two actors, Stone tied the knot with Dave McCrary in 2020 – both exes have maintained admiration for the actress, with Stone telling Vanity Fair in 2017 that the care he and Stone have for each other is “unconditional” is.

Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts and theories about the new album and the mysterious ‘Emma’.

The song isn’t the first time celebrities have spoken fondly of Stone, her ex-boyfriend famously described her as “like bathing in sunlight”

The two split in 2014 and Stone has since married David McCrary in 2020, but Garfield still describes the ‘care’ he has for her as ‘unconditional’
