Yes, there are the standard suspects on the new Taylor Swift album, “The Tortured Poets Office.”
There are the exes: British actor Joe Alwyn, with whom the singer was in a 6-calendar year connection until 2023, as properly as the 1975 frontman Matty Healy, who Swift briefly dated final calendar year.
And the 34-12 months-previous celebrity used her powerhouse pen to mark her territory on her gridiron dude, Travis Kelce.
But in addition to her recent beau, there is yet another guy who receives significant appreciate from Swift on “TTPD,” which dropped on Friday.
That would be singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who will get the best co-indicator from Swift on the title keep track of.
“You smoked and ate seven bars of chocolate / we declared Charlie Puth need to be a bigger artist / I scratch your head, you fall asleep / Like a tattooed Golden Retriever,” she sings.
The quotation seemingly references her and Healy bonding around their mutual appreciation for the “See You Again” singer throughout their romance.
Puth, for his aspect, seems to be a key Swiftie. In 2022, a online video of him participating in her breakthrough strike “Teardrops on My Guitar” for a New York Town group circulated on TikTok.
Healy, nonetheless, seems to be the concentrate on of more pen venom somewhere else on “The Tortured Poets Section.”
Healy — who, ahead of their summertime split, was a rebound romance for the pop superstar adhering to her separation with Alwyn — seems to be the subject of the vicious takedown “The Smallest Male Who At any time Lived.”
“And I don’t even want oil again/If just want to know/If rusting my sparkling summer months was the goal,” sings Swift, who caught some flak after Healy produced some controversial responses — which includes racist remarks about the singer’s now BFF Ice Spice.
“And I do not overlook what we had,” she carries on. “But could an individual give a information/To the smallest male who at any time lived.”
There are also hints that “I Can Fix Him” (No Really I Can)” — gotta really like that title — may be about the 35-calendar year-outdated rocker: “The smoke cloud billows out his mouth/Like a freight coach by way of a tiny city/The jokes that he told across the bar had been revolting/And considerably too loud/They shake their heads saying ‘God assistance her’ when I notify ‘em he’s my gentleman/But your superior Lord doesn’t have to have to/I can fix him/No, actually I can.”
But, of class, Healy also shares the ex assault with Alwyn.
There’s even one track called “So Long, London” — a goodbye to the city exactly where they at the time lived with each other.
“Just how minimal did you assume I’d go/Ahead of I’d self implode,” Swift sings on the monitor.
“Every breath feels like the rarest air/When you’re not positive if he wants to be there,” she adds
Alwyn is also rumored to figure in the album title, which seemingly places a snarky spin on the identify of a group chat, “The Tortured Gentleman Club,” that he had with his fellow actors Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.
Poetic justice, certainly.
