Every Song Taylor Swift Wrote About Joe Alwyn on ‘Tortured Poets Department’


Taylor Swift seemingly wrote about her breakup from Joe Alwyn on her 11th studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’

Although less of the record seems to be dedicated to her nearly six-year relationship with the actor than some anticipated, Swift sets aside some of the most heartbreaking songs — including her now-famous track 5 — for her recollection of the breakup, which was confirmed in April 2023. Swift’s earlier music about Alwyn included nods to the actor’s past dating life, like Delicate’s “Do the girl’s back home touch you like I do?” and “Knew he was a killer, first time that I saw him, breaking hearts and never saying sorry,” which appears on Reputation’s “Are You Ready for It?” “I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my s—t / They said gotta fake it ‘till you make it and baby, I did,” Swift sings of the early days of the tour, which launched less than one month after her breakup with Alwyn was announced.
