Fans Dissect Taylor Swift Song “Hits Different” For Clues About Joe Alwyn

Taylor Swift shocked fans by dropping a new edition of her popular “Midnights” album, the “Til Dawn Edition”. This new version included two new features, “Karma” featuring Ice Spice and “Snow on the Beach” featuring Lana Del Rey. Notably, the top secret track “Hits Different” was only released on CDs sold at Target, until last night. One lyric, “I pictured you with other girls, in love/and threw up on the street” sparked a viral TikTok trend before the song was even available on streaming services.

The song details Swift struggling to forget an ex after a breakup that feels different from past relationships. Instead of running off and forgetting about the situation, she traces the artifacts of the relationship, dissecting what went sour.

“Midnights” was first released in October 2022. In April, it was widely reported that Swift broke up with her boyfriend of six years, actor Joe Alwyn. Alwyn was notably the alleged subject of several songs on her “Reputation” and “Lover” albums, and additionally co-wrote several tracks on “Folklore” under the pseudonym William Bowery. Shortly after the breakup, Swift was rumored to be dating controversial the 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

The Theories

Fans widely speculate that Swift actually broke things off with Alwyn months before the news was made public, which could mean that some of the heartbreak laden tracks on “Midnights” might have been about him. Swift will additionally release a “Midnights” vault track titled “You’re Losing Me” exclusively on CDs sold at the MetLife Stadium at her “The Eras Tour” stop there this weekend. Though this track is not yet on streaming services, fans sense that this track in conjunction with “Hits Different” will explain the breakdown of Alwyn and Swift’s relationship. “Midnights” famously represents the 13 most sleepless nights of Swift’s life.

Over the past several years, Swift has opted to keep her personal life fairly private. She predominantly communicates information about her life through her music, which is why listeners are all ears. Many sense that Alwyn wanted their relationship kept private, as she has been spotted out and about with friends across New York City post-breakup.

Swift hits the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey this weekend.
