Who Are Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Songs About? Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and More


Taylor Swift has officially released her album The Tortured Poets Department and fans are curious who the songs are about. Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and more are subjects.

She also defends wanting to be with the controversial singer, adding, “I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want.” Taylor even seemingly talks directly to the fans who had something to say about the relationship when she sings, “I’ll tell you something right now, I’d rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning. This track seems to be Taylor’s message to those who have spewed hate her way, as she sings, “I was tame, I was gentle ‘til the circus life made me mean, don’t you work, folks, we took out all her teeth, who’s afraid of little old me?” While fans speculated that TTPD was written before Travis Kelce came into Taylor’s life, the multiple references to football on this song has some wondering if the NFL star may have inspired the track.
