The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift‘s new album, which will be released on April 19, promises to be another “breakup” classic. Several are just as good, and Taylor is a specialist in “receipt” songs that cry and bear her heartbreak. Yes, friends and exes are known as “inspiration”.
Although to this day most of her repertoire for actor Joe Alwyn is more declarations of love, everyone anticipates that the entire album will poke and reveal what went wrong between them. Until then, let’s remember 10 of Taylor’s most famous songs?
1- All Too Well
Even Maggie Gyllenhaal has already said she can no longer bear to answer about the scarf she never knew existed. She should ask her brother, Jake, the Swifties’ most popular target for being one of Taylor’s most painful breakups. It yielded one of her best songs.
2- Better Man
There is controversy among fans as to whether the ‘muse’ of this beautiful song was DJ Calvin Harris, who Taylor “swapped” for Tom Hiddleston. Who ever it was for, he’s wishing he’d be a better man.
3- Dear John
At this point, it’s hard to remember that Taylor cried over John Mayer, but at 18, breakups are intense…
4- Mr. Perfectly Fine
Now the 25-second timeout over the phone is classic, and Joe Jonas has joined the list of “honored”
5- Back to December
Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift‘s romance was brief, but it allowed for a double Taylor and a farewell song.
6- Runaway Car
Her relationship with Tom Hiddleston lasted a (very public) summer. They say this is the song Taylor wrote with him in mind.
7- Out of the Woods
Harry Styles was another famous ex. In an interview, Taylor mentioned that this was one of the songs she did for him.
8- Bad Blood
When Taylor and Katy Perry decided to declare war on social media, Katy came up with Swish Swish and Taylor responded with Bad Blood. It’s still about a breakup, right?
9- Delicate
One of the first songs fans swears was written for Joe Alwyn, in happier days. My reputation’s never been worse, so You must like me for me… Ah, love!
10- Style
There’s no way to even disguise that it was for Harry, right?
11- Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve
Joe Jonas took 25 seconds to break her heart, but Taylor took more than two songs to remind him what he did it badly.
12- We’re Never Getting Back Together
Sad Taylor’s two best muses, for me, are Jake Gyllenhall and Harry Styles. After All Too Well it’s surprising to think Jake even considered a comeback… Taylor’s reply was the best.
13- I Knew You Were Trouble
Taylor admits she got involved with Styles ignoring her instinct that it wouldn’t work out…
14- Starlight
In 2012, Taylor’s official boyfriend was Conor Kennedy, who was just 18 at the time (and Taylor was 22). She even bought a house next to the Kennedys’ property but ended the year next to Calvin Harris. Starlight is a homage to Ethel and Robert Kennedy‘s romance, so…
15- Blank Space
This song is for the ex-collection, with no specific target. In fact, here Taylor mocks those who judge her for living as she should and loving whoever she wants. Brava, Taylor!
