Nothing gets past a Swiftie. Fans dove headfirst into decoding the lyrics on Taylor Swift‘s Midnights — and some are convinced she penned a scathing track about ex John Mayer.
The Grammy winner, 32, dropped her 10th studio album on Friday, October 21, initially releasing 13 new songs. Hours after the record became available to stream, Swift gave listeners seven bonus tracks on Midnights (3am Edition), including “Glitch” and “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve.” It didn’t take fans long to theorize that the latter explored Swift’s messy history with Mayer, 45, to whom she was linked in 2009.
“And I damn sure would’ve never danced with the devil / At 19, and the God’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven / And now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts,” the Cats actress sings. “Memories feel like weapons / And now that I know, I wish you left me wondering.”
As the song continues, Swift hints, “I regret you all the time,” but even more telling lyrics appear toward the end.
“If clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die? / Years of tearing down our banners, you and I / Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts / Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first,” she sings.
The pop star and the Connecticut native collaborated on “Half of My Heart,” which was featured on Mayer’s 2009 record, Battle Studies. The songwriters were romantically linked soon after, but their whirlwind relationship quickly turned sour.
Swift was 19 when she was rumored to be dating Mayer, who was 32 at the time. In 2010, the Amsterdam actress penned the now-iconic breakup anthem “Dear John,” which called out an ex’s “dark twisted games” and asked, “Don’t you think 19 is too young?”
