Fans have been speculating about which songs on Taylor Swift's album would be focused on her former beau, Joe Alwyn, ever since the album was announced in February of this year. Taylor and Joe dated from 2017 to 2023, so it was natural for fans to anticipate that her new music would address the end of their relationship.

It appears that a significant portion of the album is speculated to be centered around 1975's lead singer, Matty Healy, whom Taylor has dated for a brief period after separating from Alwyn last year. Despite this, Swift's fans have discovered several hints about her separation from Joe.

Here are the songs and possible nods that Taylor Swift may have included in The Tortured Poets Department, alluding to Joe Alywn.

Rumored Joe Alwyn-inspired Songs In The Tortured Poets Department?

If you're a fan of Taylor Swift, you're probably well aware that she dropped an album called Lover in 2019. One of the most popular songs on that album is 'London Boy,' which Swifties widely believe to be about Joe Alwyn. This assumption stems from the fact that Joe hails from London and Taylor has been seen spending a lot of time with him there.

After their split, it would be logical for her to bid farewell to London and Joe. A lot of enthusiasts have speculated that her recent track 'So Long, London' on The Tortured Poets Department is probably directed towards Joe due to their association with London.

In the song, Taylor also mentions a house located by the Heath. This has caused multiple fans to speculate that it might be the same house the couple used to reside in close to Hampstead Heath.

Fans have come up with a theory that 'Loml' is actually referring to Joe in Taylor's music. Normally, 'Loml' means 'love of my life', but in this case, it means 'loss of my life'.

Devotees are speculating that this particular tune might be referring to Joe, given that Taylor has hinted at him being her 'one' in past songs. The abbreviation 'loml' also strongly indicates the concept of losing the 'one'.

Fans have been speculating that the name of the album and its second track, 'The Tortured Poets Department', could be a nod towards Alwyn.

During a prior conversation with GQ, Alwyn shared that he was part of a chat group with actors Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. In a recent interview with Variety, Mescal and Scott were questioned about the name of the chat, and they disclosed that it went by 'The Tortured Man Club'.

It's pretty evident that there's a clear association between 'The Tortured Man Club' and The Tortured Poets Department. This connection can be observed without requiring any advanced knowledge or expertise. Keep your eyes peeled!
