Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?
…Ready for It? (Reputation, 2017)
Who was it about: Joe Alwyn
Lyrics: “Younger than my exes… But he act… like such a man … Burton to his Taylor… Every love I’ve known in comparison is a failure.”
Story behind the lyrics: In the past, Taylor’s love life was like a walk through a gallery of older portraits with notable figures like Jake Gyllenhaal, where an age gap played its part in the plot. Cue the twist in the tale: enter Joe Alwyn, younger by a year but wise beyond his days. It’s like Taylor found her Richard Burton in Joe, drawing parallels to one of Hollywood’s most iconic and passionate love stories. This line is a nod to a relationship that’s not just surviving but thriving despite flipping the age dynamic that once defined her past romances.
