Based on the evidence at hand (and there’s...a lot!), Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department is going to be, at least in part, about her relationship with Joe Alwyn. Actually, lemme just...
And on top of all this ^^^, Taylor just dropped a library installation at The Grove in Los Angeles—and the Joe references fans found are...plentiful to say the least. First up, there’s the fact that Tay’s library features exactly 72 card catalog boxes. And 72 months just so happens to equal 6 years (aka the length of Taylor and Joe’s relationship).
Meanwhile, exactly 6 of the 72 drawers are open to really hammer the point home for people who didn’t initially pick up on it!
Fans *also* noticed that the open drawers are somewhat reminiscent of a mausoleum, which possibly indicates the death of the musician’s six-year relationship.
Viewers at the installation also get to see a globe on display, which fans think has a NAIL (not a pin) in “Florida,” which is where Taylor was when her and Joe’s breakup was announced.
Oh, and then there’s the fact that Taylor included a statue of Diana of Ephesus in her library display. Fans did some research and discovered that the real statue apparently broke on its way to...wait for it...LONDON in the...wait for it...SIXTH century.
Genuinely amazed at the specificity of these references, not to mention how genius Taylor’s fans are! Now, BRB, gotta go cancel my Friday plans because clearly the night will be spent sleuthing (jk, canceled them the moment this album was announced as any normal person would do).
