Who is Emma in Taylor Swift’s new song?
After Taylor Swift shared the track list for Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) on Monday, June 5, 2023, fans began pondering the identity of Emma from the album’s eighteenth track, When Emma Falls in Love.
The track is among six previously unreleased “From The Vault” songs that fans got to hear for the first time on July 7.
As reported by Bustle, after Swift’s fans — often called Swifties — learned of the title, they started to speculate that the song is about actress and long-time friend of the singer, Emma Stone.
Swift wrote the Speak Now album between 2008 and 2010, a time when her friendship with Stone was appearing to blossom.
Some speculated that based on the timing, the song could also be inspired by Stone’s relationships with actor Andrew Garfield, singer Teddy Geiger, or actor Kieran Culkin.
Bustle also noted that it would make sense for Swift to pen a song about a friend’s relationship, as she has done so before. 1989’s You Are In Love was inspired by her friend Lena Dunham’s past romance with her friend and collaborator, Jack Antonoff.
Other fans thought the song could be based on Jane Austen’s 1815 novel, Emma.
On June 5, one Twitter user wrote: “Alright I need to know if When Emma Falls in Love is about Emma by Jane Austen (my fav writer) bc I WILL immediately break down in tears if it is 😭💜 #SpeakNowTaylorsVersion.”
However, following the track’s release, evidence largely points to the Stone theory.
As per Entertainment Weekly, many of When Emma Falls in Love’s lyrics suggest that the Stone rumors are true.
During the song’s first verse, Swift sings: “When Emma falls in love, she calls up her mom, jokes about the ways that this one could go wrong. She waits and takes her time, ’cause little Miss Sunshine always thinks it’s gonna rain.”
It would make sense for Stone to discuss her dating life with her mom, as the outlet reports that the pair share a close relationship.
It also notes that “little Miss Sunshine” could be referring to when Stone sang along to Natasha Bedingfield’s song, Pocketful of Sunshine, in the movie Easy A.

Swift later sings: “She’s so New York when she’s in L.A.”
Entertainment Weekly notes that this line could refer to some of the time the megastars spent together. It reports that they previously were spotted hanging out in New York on more than one occasion, although Stone was living in Los Angeles at the time.
How did Emma Stone and Taylor Swift meet?
As per People, Stone and Swift met at the April 2008 Young Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles, California, which was hosted by Hollywood Life magazine.
They were pictured together at the cocktail party whilst each sporting purple dresses, which is all too fitting for the then-unborn Speak Now album.
Since then, the pair have maintained a strong friendship.
Over the years, they have attended multiple events together — such as the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and the Met Gala — and have supported each other’s careers.
As the outlet reported, in September 2010, Swift attended the premiere of Stone’s film, Easy A.
Vanity Fair reported that in March 2023, Stone attended the opening night of Swift’s Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona.
The La La Land actress told the publication: “The concert was pretty amazing. I was lucky ’cause we’ve been friends for a really long time.
“I’ve known her since we were 17 and 18, so she hooked me up, which was very nice ’cause I know those tickets are impossible to get.
“She’s a wonderful friend. She blows my mind. I mean, the amount of sheer stamina to do three and a half hours and perform 44 songs and to maintain the extreme energy of the audience—I’ve never seen anything like it.”
