The image features the “Cruel Summer” singer beaming in mid-performance, sporting a glittery top and metallic blazer surrounded by showgirl feathers. Written and released amidst the trials of a painful breakup, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” showcases Swift hyping herself up to face her audience night after night — a true testament to her resilience. “I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my sh*t,” she sings.

After the announcement was made, Swifties have been nothing short of ecstatic, with comments pouring in from all corners of the globe.

“I LOVE I CAN DO IT WITH A BROKEN HEART,” one fan exclaimed.

“Crying a lot and not at all productive bc this is the cutest cover 😭,” another person said.

“THIS IS EVERYTHING,” shouted a third.

The track originally impacted the Billboard Hot 100 when the album made its debut on Friday, April 19. During that time, it peaked at No. 3 and has since continued to dominate. Now, as a single, it’s set to capture even more hearts, underscored by an instrumental version for the karaoke warriors ready to echo Swift’s cathartic chords.
