Taylor Swift breaks silence on ex Joe Alwyn in new song fans are convinced is about split

Taylor Swift has potentially given an insight into her alleged split from British actor Joe Alwyn in an ALL NEW song that she dropped today.

The new song contains heart-achingly emotional lyrics that have all the makings of a breakup hit - with Swift touching on wanting marriage and experiencing the loss of a lover.

Earlier on in the week the American singer, 33, announced that she would be releasing two new editions of her 2022 album Midnights.

The Til Dawn Edition features her Target exclusive (and fan favourite) track Hits Different, a new version of Snow on the Beach with "more Lana Del Rey" and a remix of her catchy hit Karma with rapper Ice Spice - as well as the extra tracks from her 3am streaming edition.

But there is also a second - much harder to get - edition of Midnights that features an unreleased song called You're Losing Me.

When announcing the exciting news just mere days ago, Taylor said: "For those of you going to the East Rutherford shows - we will have a new special edition CD available ONLY on site starting at 12:30pm ET on Friday! This CD will have a never before heard Midnights vault track called 'You’re Losing Me'!"

And fans have got their hands on the sought after CD - with some fans even rushing to their laptops to upload the tracks to their mobiles and share the exclusive song with other Swifties.

The song opens with: "You say I don't understand and I say I know you don't / We thought a cure would come through in time and now I fear it won't / Remember looking at this room we loved it 'cause of the light / Now I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time.

"Do I throw out everything we built or keep it? / I'm getting tired even for a phoenix always rising from the ashes / Mending all her gashes / You might just have dealt the final blow."

Swift then goes into the chorus of: "Stop, you're losing me / Stop, you're losing me / Stop, you're losing me / I can't find a pulse, my heart won't start anymore / For you / Cause you're losing me."

The next verse goes: "Every morning I glared at you with storms in my eyes," Swift goes on before singing: "I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick / My face was grey but you wouldn't admit that we were sick.

"And the air is thick with loss and indecision," before singing: "You don't know what you've got until it's gone."

"My heart won't start anymore," she adds, before asking: "How long could we be a sad song / 'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?

"I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy / And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier / Fighting in only your army, frontlines, don't you ignore me / I'm the best thing at this party (You're losing me)."

She then admits: "And I wouldn't marry me either / A pathological people pleaser / Who only wanted you to see her."

Towards the final seconds, Swift then pleads: "Do something babe, say something babe."

She then ends by saying she has nothing to believe unless the person she is singing about - whether that be fictional or based on her life - chooses her.

Fans have been quick to react, with many speculating that the song could be about Joe Alwyn, who she is rumoured to have split from earlier on in the year.

Reacting to the song after listening, one person said: "You’re Losing Me is actually going to me my cause of death, the parallels to all of her love lyrics about Joe to this…..ouch."

"So, You're Losing Me is about Joe's lack of efforts to save the relationship and Taylor seems tired of always being the one keeping the relationship together," speculated a second.

While a third offered: "I think Taylor actually wanted to get married (Paper Rings, Lover bridge etc) but Joe didn’t and she convinced herself she didn’t want to either (Lavender Haze), but now that they’re done, she realised she actually did (You’re Losing Me).
