There’s another melody from The Tortured Poets Department The Taylor Swift Fans speculate about her romance with ex Matty Healy.
Swift’s song “Florida!!!” featured Florence WelchShe sings, “I need to forget, so take me to Florida.”
According to Swift, 34, and Joe Alwyn After six years together, they separated in April 2023, their next Era Tour The show took place in Florida. One fan pointed out via TikTok on Tuesday, April 23, that her lyrics could mean she “had to forget about Joe Alwyn.”
She then sings, “So you work your life just to pay for a timeshare down in Destin.” The fan pointed out that Swift and Healy, 35, “only spent a short time together.”
A month after her split from Alwyn, 33, Swift was linked to The 1975 singer. But the couple split in June 2023 after a resurfaced podcast interview with Healy began circulating online in which he made problematic comments about Swift’s pal Ice seasoning. (There were rumors that Swift and Healy were dating back in 2014.)
“Florida is a damn good drug / Florida can I use you up?” Swift continues on the track. The fan speculated that Swift’s “drugs” reference could actually mean Healy.
“That’s why we saw them together after the breakup with Joe,” the fan continued. “It’s a damn good drug because it works. He actually distracts her from Joe.”

“Tell me that I’m despicable, say that it’s unforgivable,” Swift sings, which, according to the fan, could be related to the fact that “the whole world hated their relationship together.” The fan added: “The world judged Taylor for dating Matty.”
After TTPD was released on Friday, Swift shared her actual inspiration behind the track. “I think the idea came to me: ‘What happens when your life isn’t working out or your choices are catching up with you and you’re faced with these harsh consequences and your judgment and circumstances don’t guide you.’ to where you wanted to be, and you just want to escape everything you’ve ever known – is there a place you can go?'” Swift said on iHeartRadio. “I’m always watching Dateline And people commit these crimes and immediately flee the city [and] Go to Florida, try to reinvent yourself and have this new identity, fit in.”
She added: “And I think when you go through heartbreak, part of you thinks, ‘I want a new name, I want a new life.’ I don’t want anyone to know where I’ve been or even know me.'”
