Why "tolerate it" by Taylor Swift could be a tribute to Princess Diana and Prince Charles's relationship?, a thread.
"tolerate it” is the track 5 of Taylor Swift’s 9th album "evermore", released on December 11. This song is from the POV of a woman and her struggle of wanting love from her husband who isn’t even paying attention to anything she does for him. Referring to the monotony of love.
Taylor Swift said in an interview for EW that some songs from her latest surprise album were inspired by the films she watched in quarantine. So it seems that Taylor took inspiration for this song from Netflix's the crown, that released its 4th season a month before "evermore".
Certain lyrics of the song that seem to indicate that it was written from Princess Diana's point of view and all she had to go through in her turbulent relationship with Prince Charles.

And that's it. Remember, it's a theory, it may or may not be true. If it is, Taylor really created a masterpiece with deep lyrics. Queen of storytelling for a reason.
