"My Tears Ricochet" is a song by Taylor Swift from her eighth studio album, Folklore (2020). The song is a haunting, sorrowful ballad blending arena- gothic rock and gospel styles, with layered choir vocals, synths, and intense drums. Lyrically, it tells the story of a ghost of a dead woman confronting her former lover, who metaphorically represents betrayal and heartbreak, with imagery related to funerals and sunken battleships. The song was inspired by Swift's feelings about the end of a significant relationship and the bitter dispute over her music masters. Critics highly praised the song for its emotion, production, and lyrical depth. It reached number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and has been part of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour setlist.
