Taylor Swift fans are counting down the days until her brand new album The Tortured Poets Department drops on April 19.
And on Sunday, the Style hitmaker, 34, shared some lyrics from one of the new songs – which appeared to reference her break-up with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
Taylor was in a relationship with the actor, 33, for six years before their shock split in early 2023. She is now dating NFL star Travis Kelce.
And now Taylor has apparently shared some brand new lyrics with her fans as she promotes a special edition of her new record.
Addressing X Taylor wrote: “I wish I could remember how we almost had it all…”

Taking to X Taylor wrote alongside a snap of her vinyl: “I wish I could remember how we almost had it all…”
She then added: ‘Pre-order THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT on phantom clear vinyl now exclusively at Target.’
Taylor’s gone wild predicting digs at her famous exes after the Tortured Poets Department tracklist was revealed in February.
She announced her 11th studio album at the Grammy Awards earlier this year after sharing the tracklist for the record, which includes collaborations with Post Malone and Florence + the Machine.
After the tracklist was revealed, fans were going crazy over the song names, linking some of them to her ex-boyfriends Joe and Harry Styles.
An eagle-eyed Twitter user pointed out that there is a track called So Long, London – which could refer to British-born Joe.
One wrote: ‘Joe Alwyn and his publicist watching ‘so long, london’ just drop on the track list…’
Another referring to Joe read: ‘so long london the smallest man that ever lived my boy only breaks his favorite toy i can fix him (no i really can) BYE JOE ALWYN.’
Another fan wrote: ‘SO LONG LONDON?? I LOVE YOU IT’S RUINING MY LIFE?? Joe Alwyn count your days #THETORTUEDPOETSDEPARTMENT.’

Additionally, some believe the album title is also a reference to Joe and could be a wild nod to the group chat Joe shared with friends Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.
Back in 2022, Joe revealed that a mutual friend created a WhatsApp group with him and Paul called The Tortured Man Club.
They later explained to Variety that Andrew ‘started the group’, and Paul said: ‘He’s just there every day. He’s just on it himself.’
Joe jokingly added, “Just sending good morning to himself.”
Fans went crazy with a penny on X: ‘THIS IS THE BREAKUP ALBUM’
Another wrote: ‘I hope for Joe’s sake he still has that group chat. I feel like he’s going to need it’
Others linked up with singer Harry Styles, 30, after the tracklist was revealed.
One noticed a song called ‘loml’ which could be a reference to one of Harry’s songs called Love of My Life.
One fan shared a screenshot of the songs next to each other and wrote on Twitter: ‘No im sorry…’
Another fan pointed out that one of Taylor’s new tracks is called But Daddy I Love Him – after Harry was once seen wearing a T-shirt with the But Daddy I Love Him logo on it.
The fan shared the snap of Harry in the outfit alongside the track name, excitedly writing: ‘EXCUSE ME?!?!!!!!!!!!!’
Taylor and Harry dated from late 2012 to early 2013, and the star has written several songs about him in the past.
In February, Taylor shared the full tracklist for her brand new album Tortured Poets Department, which includes collaborations with two top artists.
Post Malone and Florence + the Machine feature on the record, which will be released next Friday.
Taylor took to Instagram to share a photo of some artwork for the record, which included a black and white photo of herself with ‘I love you, it’s ruining my life’ written over her shoulder, as well as the track list.
Side A begins with the Post Malone collaboration, Fortnight, and is followed by the album’s title track, My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys and Down Bad.
While Side B features So Long, London, But Daddy I Love Him, Fresh Out the Slammer and Florida!!!, with the latter song featuring Florence + the Machine.
Side C offers Guilty as Sin?, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?, I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can), and ‘Ioml’.
The final part of the album, Side D, has I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, The Alchemy, Clara Bow and the bonus track The Manuscript.
Referring to the album’s release date, the post was simply subtitled: ’19. April (white heart emoji).’
