Last week, Taylor dropped “Look What You Made Me Do,” the very first single from her new album … and she blew our minds. Not necessarily because of the quality of the song, which was honestly not so great, but because she had a completely different sound than the old Taylor Swift. Which makes sense, because in the song, she explains that the old Taylor Swift is dead. It was also fun to analyze the lyrics and, a few days later, the music video — she obviously has a big grudge with someone, and the girl left us so many hidden clues and messages. It was like celebrity gossip Christmas, really. Even though it's been over a week now since we first heard the song, people are still talking about it. A lot . Which makes it more than a little surprising that she went ahead and released another single today. The new song is called “…Ready for It,” and while it's still very, very different than what we'd expect from her, this one is a little more familiar than “Look What You Made Me Do.” And that's because this song is a love song. Judging by some of the lyrics, we're guessing this is about her current boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn . They've been dating since last year, and in a lyric from the first verse, Taylor sings that the object of her affection here is “younger than my exes but he acts like such a man though.” Joe is 26, a year younger than Taylor, and quite a bit younger than many of her previous lovers, men like Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, and John Mayer. There's a chance she could still be pulling inspiration from her relationship with Harry Styles, who is four years her junior, but that would be sad at this point. So let's just say this is about Joe — and if it is, then she seems to be very, very serious about him . So serious that in another part of the song, she sings “Every lover known in comparison is a failure, I forget their names now.” And like, we know she didn't actually forget their names, but this Joe must be pretty darn special, huh?
