Why fans think Taylor Swift’s new lyrics have a mysterious meaning about Joe Alwyn’s relationship

“The Tortured Poets Department” will be released in just a few days — and the Swifties are already busy decoding the snippets the pop star has already shared.

Taylor Swift has teamed up with Spotify for A special “Install the Library” pop-up at The Grove In Los Angeles this week – showcasing carefully curated items related to the singer’s new album “Cruel Summer.”

One of the display pieces even revealed some lyrics to the upcoming song, which fans believe is about her relationship with Joe Alwyn.

“Even statues crumble / If they are forced to wait” An open book for readingPlace it on a white tablecloth and dried flowers.

Although it’s unclear what song the lyrics are about, fans were quick to voice their theories online, suggesting that Swift “wanted to marry” Alwyn but didn’t have the same feeling.

“Omgggg she was so excited to marry him she was going to marry him with paper rings but he was just wasting time,” one fan wrote on X.

Another added: “My daughter wanted to be his bride so much, she waited six years to get this ring 🥺.”

Another fan who went to the show pointed this out One of the statues took off She appears to be Diana of Ephesus, “goddess of birth, fertility, and moon goddess.”

“The original statue of Diana collapsed while waiting to be shipped to London in the 6th century due to years of neglect, succumbing to the pa*sage of time and the elements.”

The “All Too Well” singer, 34, dated the 33-year-old “Harriet” actor for six years before announcing their shock split in April 2023.

The couple were notoriously private during their romance, often spending most of their time hidden away in Alwyn’s native England.

Although Alwyn and Swift have not publicly revealed the reason for their split, the 14-time Grammy winner previously hinted that it had to do with the “Conversations With Friends” actor not wanting to tie the knot.

In Midnights’ song “You’re Losing Me,” Swift describes the heartbreaking end of a long-term relationship and wonders if they should keep trying or give up.

“How can you say you love someone who you can’t tell is dying?” she asks. “How long can it be a sad song until it’s so far gone that we can’t bring it back to life?”

The powerful bridge concludes by confessing: “I wouldn’t marry me either. A people pleaser. Who only wanted you to see her.”

While it’s unknown if Alwyn has moved on from his romance with the hitmaker, Swift seems happier than ever while dating Travis Kelce.

The couple first sparked romance rumors in July 2023, and they’ve been traveling the world together ever since, most recently jetting off to the desert in Indio, California, to attend Coachella.

The lovebirds looked head over heels in love as they attended performances by The Bleachers, Ice Spice and more.
