She is, without a doubt, the most famous and most relevant singer of the moment, so much so that even Harvard is going to launch a subject in which her music and global impact will be studied. We’re talking about Taylor Swift (34 years old), who just released her latest album this week. This is ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ and it is the young woman’s eleventh album, which has surprised her millions of followers with 16 new songs. But it doesn’t end there because two hours later, Taylor announced the release of the second part of this album with another 15 songs, a total of 31 songs in which he has left no stone unturned, taking different darts for people like Kim Kardashian (42 years old) or her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn (33 years old), with whom she was dating for more than six years.
Taylor Swift’s hints to her ex in her new album
To begin with, the title of this album is a very direct dig at his ex. He commented in an interview with Variety that He has a WhatsApp group with actor Paul Mescal called ‘The Tortured Man Club’, a group that Taylor definitely wanted to reference on this album. But the hints to Joe do not end here, being undoubtedly a farewell in lyrical form what he says in the song ‘So Long, London’, where Taylor sings the following: “See you later, London. You will find someone”.
Just as we could see the beginning of this relationship on the album ‘Lover’, where she admitted to liking a boy from London in the song ‘London Boy’, now she puts an end to this courtship with these lyrics. Something that has not gone unnoticed by her fans, the well-known Swifties, is that in the song ‘Mirrorball’, from the album ‘Folklore’, Taylor sings “I keep doing everything possible to make you laugh”, a phrase that changes in ‘So Long, London’, where he recognizes “I stopped trying to make him laugh”, a sample of what could have been the trigger for the breakup.
Could he have gone through the altar?
Another new song that has been much talked about is ‘I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)’. In this Taylor talks about how she tried to “fix” her ex-boyfriend, despite the fact that everyone around him told him otherwise. A lyric that many of his followers have identified with. Another of the songs lets us see how much she wanted to go down the aisle with Joe, something that never happened and that may have ended their relationship: “You swore you loved me but where were the clues? I have died at the altar waiting for the tests“, we can hear her sing. In fact, in another of the songs we can hear Taylor singing the following: “You took the ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put their wedding rings on. That’s the closest I’ve ever come to my heart exploding.”“. A great example of how much this album has helped the singer to overcome this breakup, recognizing herself that it has been a great therapy.
Your new great love
They haven’t even been together a year, but Swift’s new relationship with American football player, Travis Kelce, is also part of this new album, where she dissolves into pulls towards him. It is in the song ‘So High School’ where we can hear what the couple’s first months have been like. “You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got it“sings Taylor, who has admitted to feeling like a teenager again with this new partner.
Dart for Kim Kardashian
In the past Taylor already had problems with Kim Kardashian because of her ex-husband, Kanye West, which ended up causing Taylor to have problems with her reputation. This was part of her album ‘Reputation’, where she shared in different letters the problems they caused her. Although everything indicated that things were good between the reality star and the singer, in the song ‘thanK you aIMee’, we can read KIM’s name written in capital letters, having in the letter a great hint towards her and her daughter, North. “One day, your daughter will come home singing a song that only you and I know is about you.“.
