Taylor Swift has yet to confirm her relationship status with rumored beau, British actor Joe Alwyn, but if her latest single would be the basis, looks like she wants the public to "Call It What You Want." The new single, which was released when the clock stroke midnight on Friday, is the fourth song from her sixth album, "Reputation."
"Walking with his head down/I'm the one he's walking to" and "High above the whole scene/Loves me like I'm brand new" are just some of the references she made for her rumored boyfriend.
The Internet erupted with reactions from fans, who could not help but gush over Swift's sweet lyrics.
The 27-year-old artist first teased the new track on Thursday, via her Instagram, with choice lyrics that showed the song's connection to a previous hit, as this Twitter user pointed out.
It has been almost a decade since "Love Story." From "Romeo, Save Me" to "You Don't Need to Save Me," the multiplatinum singer shows how far she has grown from the lovestruck teenager to a bruised but stronger woman in her late 20s.
But just like her other recent releases, "Look What You Made Me Do," "...Ready for It" and "Gorgeous," "Call It What You Want" threw shade on Swift's haters, particularly Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West.
"They took down the crown but it's alright/All the liars are calling me one." The line is a jab at Kardashian's 2016 Snapchat, which broke the Internet. Swift responded then that she was "falsely painted as a liar" by the Kardashian-West couple.
With four singles now out, 11 still remain secret from the 15-track album, which reports say have already exceeded 400,000 copies in preorders. Big Machine Records say this is double the number of preorders for "1989" back in 2014. According to Target, this is its biggest music presale of all time. "Reputation" will hit the shelves on Nov. 14.
