Singer Embraces "Honey" After Past Aversion
3 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Singer previously disliked being called "honey" or "sweetheart"
- Now, the word has a different, more positive meaning for her
- Partner Travis Scott's use of "honey" is welcomed and appreciated

According to a recent report, Taylor Swift's perspective on the term "honey" has undergone a significant shift over the years. In the past, the 35-year-old singer seemingly had a negative connotation for the word, viewing it as a passive-aggressive way for people to address her.
As the article states, if someone called Taylor "sweetheart" in the past, "it was passive-aggressive at the bar" and "the bitch was tellin' me to back off." Similarly, if anyone referred to her as "honey," it was "standin' in the bathroom, white teeth" and "they were sayin' that skirt don't fit me" - leading her to "cry the whole way home."
However, the meaning of the term has now changed for Taylor. In a new song, she sings, "You can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want / I'm the one you want / You give it different meaning, 'cause you mean it when you talk / Sweetie it's yours, kicking in doors / Take it to the floor, give me more." This suggests that when her partner, Travis Scott, uses the term "honey," it is welcomed and appreciated, as it carries a more positive connotation.
The article provides a glimpse into the evolution of Taylor's perspective on endearing terms, highlighting how the meaning can shift based on the context and the person using them.
