The reason for Taylor Swift’s split from British actor Joe Alwyn appears to have been revealed in the lyrics of a new song.
The singer-songwriter dropped a new track on Friday (May 26) which appears to give away the reasons for the breakup.
You’re Losing Me, which has only been released on certain physical copies of the Shake It Off singer’s album Midnights, hints at her split from 32-year-old Alwyn.

Taylor, who is currently midway through her Eras tour, sings on the track: “You say, ‘I don’t understand,’ and I say, ‘I know you don’t’.
“We thought a cure would come through in time; now, I fear it won’t.”
In another verse the 33-year-old adds: “Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?

“I’m getting tired even for a phoenix. Always risin’ from the ashes.”
Perhaps most tellingly of all, Taylor muses during the song’s bridge: “I wouldn’t marry me either. A pathological people pleaser. Who only wanted you to see her.”
The pair reportedly split several weeks before going public with their separation.
Entertainment Tonight was the first outlet to announce the news, citing an unnamed source, with the split then confirmed by People.
ET was told: “It was not dramatic. The relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Joe] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.”
The shock split came after rumours last year that the couple had secretly got engaged.

However, Taylor has quickly bagged herself another Brit in The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.
An insider said: “Things are moving fast. They’re head over heels. It’s been decided he will help her pen songs and he might even provide some vocals.
“He’s been inspired after attending several shows on her US tour, but they won’t have a lot of time to work together this summer, as The 1975 also have their shows.
“They are working things out, though, and are keen to make it happen. Ideally, he would like a proper collab, with the whole band involved.
“That’s the only way Matty will ever appear on stage with her. He feels he has to earn it.”
News of the pair’s blossoming romance broke this month and they have been spotted together on multiple occasions since.
