On first listen, Taylor Swift’s latest album,\u00a0The Life of a Showgirl, seems to be an all-singing, all-dancing love letter to\u00a0her fianc\u00e9, NFL player Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n

However, three weeks on from the release of her latest record, fans are diving deeper (as Swifties so often do) and they think they have found one song in particular that references Taylor’s ex-boyfriends,\u00a0Joe Alywn, who she dated for six years, and\u00a0Matty Healy, with whom she shared an ill-fated whirlwind romance.<\/p>\n

The song in question is Opalite, and while Taylor has spoken openly about it being a song named after Travis’ birthstone, Opal, but rather the manmade version, Opalite, referencing having to make your own happiness. While the song is undoubtedly a love-up bop, fans have pulled out a specific line which they believe alludes to Matty and Joe.<\/p>\n

Taylor sings: “I thought my house was haunted, I used to lay with ghosts,” a potential callback to her previous release, The Tortured Poets Department, during which she calls both Matty and Joe ghosts. “I think it was deliberate,” a fan said on Instagram. “Matty was a ghost, Joe was a ghost, now I have a real, sentient corporeal man in front of me, I’m clapping and cheering, my house is no longer haunted, it’s an exorcism.” Watch the video below and see if you think they’re right\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
