The new album by Taylor Swift appears to make parallels to several topics, including her relationship with Joe Alwyn, Kimye’s divorce, and others.
Midnights, Taylor Swift’s much anticipated tenth studio album, is officially available. Swift’s latest album, which features 13 tracks, has once again left her admirers looking for hints and easter eggs. Fans have flocked to social media to theorize the significance of Taylor’s songs, from a Janet Jackson name-drop to apparent references to her romance with John Mayer.
During her acceptance speech at the 2022 Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift first revealed her upcoming album, Midnights. The singer later clarified the album’s theme as she shared the album’s cover photo on Instagram and added the following caption: “The book Midnights, which recounts 13 snooze-filled nights spread throughout my life, will be released on October 21.
Meet me at twelve.” Taylor offered details about the tracks and would soon unveil the titles as the album release date drew closer. Here are some popular ideas about Taylor Swift’s forthcoming album, ranging from her relationship with Joe Alwyn to her feud with Scotter Braun.

Swift can be heard referring to Janet Jackson in one of the songs on the album Snow on the Beach, which Lana Del Ray and Swift co-wrote. Swift’s vocals “But your eyes are spaceships from another planet, and now I support you wholeheartedly, just like Janet.
Can it?” For those who are unaware, Jackson’s 2001 pop song All For You is all about getting sucked into a relationship. Taylor responded to Jackson’s name-dropping by writing on her TikTok, “I like it,” that she did.
Joe Alwyn’s romantic history
Taylor has managed to reveal specific details about her relationship with Joe Alwyn over the entire Midnight album. The artist not only dedicates the song as a whole to them, Lavender Haze but also makes passing references to their relationship in other songs.
Taylor alludes to Alwyn “managing excellently” the craziness she was surrounded by when they first started dating by using the phrase “Lavender Haze,” which she borrowed from Mad Men and refers to as being in love. Later, she also responds to the ongoing press coverage of their engagement and impending nuptials, claiming that everyone keeps asking her if she’s going to be his bride.
Taylor Swift appears to refer to her relationship with Joe in Snow on the Beach as well because she sings about how when she is with Joe, she smiles as though she has “won a contest.” She also dedicates the classic “I’m all about you” line from Janet Jackson to Alwyn.
Older relationship with John Mayer
Since the release of the album, Swifties have been debating whether Taylor’s song Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve alluded to her former relationship with John Mayer.
Due to references in the lyrics to an intergenerational connection that occurred when the vocalist was 19 years old, fans think the song is about Mayer. She croons, “I damn sure would’ve never danced with the devil at 19/ Now that I’m grown, I’m terrified of ghosts / Memories feel like weapons,” in the song.
Even though she previously released Dear John, a song that was specifically directed at Mayer, on her third album Speak Now, this might not be the first time the singer has alluded to romance in a song.
Vigilante S**t refers to Scooter Braun
The eighth song on Taylor’s most recent album, Midnights, is titled Vigilante S**t. Taylor says, “I don’t dress for women / I don’t dress for guys / Lately I’ve been dressin’ for revenge,” in the song about getting back at men.
Swift says, “She needed cold hard proof, so I gave her some / She had the envelope, where you think she got it from?” in the song, which some listeners believe alludes to her breakup with Scooter Braun. According to the listeners, this alludes to the singer finding out that Scooter bought Taylor’s masters in 2019 and sold them for USD 300 million to a private equity firm in 2020.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye’s divorce
According to fans, Vigilante S**t includes a reference to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s divorce in one of its songs. Fans consider Taylor to be referring to the pair in her song, “Imagine me being as close as thieves with your ex-wife.
Now she gets the house, gets the kids, and gets the pride. And she appears so lovely while she is driving your Benz.” Taylor and Kim and Kanye previously had a falling out in 2001. However, Kim has since requested a divorce from West in 2021, and according to fans of the new song, Taylor mentions working together with Kim to exact revenge on Kanye.
