Taylor Swift is the queen of Easter eggs. Most of her big announcements have been preceded by subtle hints that only make sense once she reveals all the information, and through the years, swifties have gotten skilled at detecting the encoded messages that their favorite singer shares with them.
This time, they are sure she's hinting at one of the reasons her relationship with Joe Alwyn fell apart. They have been wondering what happened ever since they announced their breakup a little over a year ago, but according to things Taylor shared, fans are sure things had been going wrong for a long time before.
Fans Think This Easter Egg Implies That Joe Alwyn Cheated On Taylor Swift
Swifties have been avidly looking for Easter eggs in everything Taylor shares about her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, and they think the latest promotional stunt gives away a huge detail about why her relationship with Joe Alwyn ended.
In Taylor Swift's promotional library, she recently set up, there was an antique globe with a pin marking Orlando, Florida, where fans think Joe Alwyn cheated on her. The pin most likely referenced the song "Florida!!!" from the upcoming album, which features a collaboration with Florence + The Machine, but the song is about cheating, and Taylor has said that she has been writing this album since before she and Joe broke up, so swifties are slowly trying to connect the dots.
"All my girls got their lace and their crimes and your cheating husband disappeared / Well, no one asks any questions here / So I did my best, too lay to rest / All of the bodies that have ever been on my body and in my mind," the lyrics read.
Cheating rumors started long before this one theory, though. After a particular mashup during an Eras tour concert featuring her songs "Getaway Car," "August," and "The Other Side of the Door", swifties took to social media to share their thoughts.
"So getaway car is from the perspective of the cheater, august is from the perspective of the other woman, and the other side of the door from the perspective of the woman who was cheated on," a user wrote on X/Twitter a little over a month ago.
Swifties Are Sure The New Album Will Bash Joe Alwyn
Ever since Taylor Swift announced the name of her new album, fans have been convinced that it would be full of digs at Joe Alwyn. For starters, the name The Tortured Poests Department reminded fans of the group chat Joe Alwyn had with Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott, which was called the "Tortured Man Club." Swifties think the pop star is mocking her ex-boyfriend with this name.
There are also details in the song titles that swifties are sure reference the past relationship, particularly the song "So Long, London." Joe Alwyn is English, and Taylor had previously dedicated the song "London Boy" to him.
There are only a few hours to go until the release of the album, so doubts will be cleared out soon.
