Fans are revisiting Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn‘s breakup after singer and producer Jack Antonoff appeared to drop a hint about the timeline of their relationship while speaking about her latest release.
Known for cryptically talking about her relationships and exes in her music, Swift’s lyrics in the song “You’re Losing Me” have led to speculations among fans that the track was referring to Alwyn.

The debate began when the Bleachers frontman shared a post on his Instagram Stories celebrating his new collaboration with the “Anti-Hero” singer.
Antonoff noted that the “very special track from the ‘Midnights’ sessions that’s finally streaming” was “written and recorded at home on 12/5/21 after Taylor ate these raisins,” posting a photo of Swift snacking alongside.
The song is thought to be about Alwyn, whom she broke up with in April. However, with the date Antonoff shared, fans attempted to solve the mystery surrounding the timeline of their breakup, with many noting that they ended things much earlier.

In the song, Swift sings, “throw[ing] out everything we built or keep[ing] it” and claims the mystery man “might have just dealt the final blow.”
The song continues, “I glared at you with storms in my eyes / How can you say that you love someone you can’t tell is dying? / I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick / My face was gray, but you wouldn’t admit that we were sick.”
Swift adds in the bridge that she “wouldn’t marry [herself] either” since she’s a “pathological people pleaser who only wanted” her significant other “to see [her].”

A fan wrote of Antonoff’s hint, “You gotta listen to you’re losing me, it’s devastatingggg and she released it after Midnights as an exclusive tour CD after she and Joe broke up and Jack Antonoff just came on, and was like teehee this was actually two years ago and then logged off for the night.”
Another fan said, “He’s such a true bestie he’s like don’t get this twisted this man was doing her dirty for ages.”
A third fan wrote, “This hurts my heart. How long was she hurting over this? Renegade is so obviously about Joe now that we see how clearly she was hurting. Joe Alwyn when I catch you.”
“I can’t believe she recorded it back in 2021! So does it mean that they had a major problem way back then?” one fan questioned, as another noted that Antonoff “put the whole government date as he wanted to make sure we knew.”
