Taylor Swift’s breakup with her long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn in 2023 left her fans shocked and devastated at the same time. The pop sensation, known for digging into past relationships in her songs, has seemingly captured her deep grief in the most devastating breakup song of her album “loml.”
Seemingly giving insights into her breakup with Joe Alwyn, Taylor Swift made a shocking revelation as she called her past relationship “counterfeit.” Referring to how Joe Alwyn’s ex-partner shit-talked her under the table as she sang — “shit-talked me under the table, talking rings and talking cradles. I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all.”
The singer, at the end of the song, also expressed her disappointment by calling him “a coward [who] claimed he was a lion.”
The 4-minute-and-37-second track is packed with a lot of revelations. Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn started dating when the singer was 26, while her boyfriend was a year younger. In the first verse, the singer referred to marriage rumours being spread as they kept the relationship private.
Meanwhile, words like “heaven” and “never quite buried” in the song refer to how she used to describe her relationship and how they rekindled every time they decided to break up. Notably, the two never spoke about their breakup publicly.
The bridge of the song is the most brutal one which defines Taylor Swift’s sentiments as Joe Alwyn never gave her a ring. The pop sensation had talked about the same in the bridge of Midnight’s bonus track, “You’re Losing Me,” and expressed the same in “So Long, London.” The lyrics of the songs portrayed her emotions well as she sang, “I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free.”
While the first few verses focused on describing her pain after the duo parted ways with each other, the last one offers an intimate look at the singer’s disappointment in her past relationship.
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn reportedly began dating in October 2016, shortly after the singer’s split from Hollywood movie star Tom Hiddleston. However, the couple remained tight-lipped about their romance during its duration and refused to confirm or even deny engagement rumours. In 2023, the couple separated from each other.
