Here's Proof Taylor Swift Was In 'Denial And Delusion' During Joe Alwyn Romance

Taylor Swift fans think the pop superstar may have just admitted to ignoring the "red flags" during her relationship with Joe Alwyn.

As she gears up for the release of her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," Swift recently created playlists for fans and categorized her songs into "the five stages of heartbreak": denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

One of the five Apple Music playlists Swift curated was about being in "denial and delusion" during a relationship, and fans noticed that more than half of the tracks were written while she was dating Alwyn.

The "denial" playlist -- titled "I Love You, It's Ruining My Life" -- contains "a list of songs about getting so caught up in the idea of something that you have a hard time seeing the red flags, possibly resulting in moments of denial [and] delusion," Swift said in a message shared alongside the playlist.

"Results may vary," she added.

According to Us Weekly, 11 of the 18 tracks -- or about 61% -- were penned during her six-year relationship with Alwyn.

One of these is "Lavender Haze," a song that Swift previously revealed was about her longtime relationship with Alwyn and about "the act of ignoring" what others say to "protect the real stuff."

"If you were in the lavender haze, then that meant that you were in that all-encompassing love glow, and I thought that was really beautiful," she said in a since-deleted Instagram Reel.

Also part of the playlist is "Cruel Summer," another song associated with the English actor. According to People, Swift's fans speculated that some of the lyrics may be about the moment she confessed her love to Alwyn.

"I screamed for whatever it's worth / 'I love you,' ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?" the lyrics read.

The "denial" playlist also included "Lover" from Swift's 2019 album of the same name. In the track, Swift sings about finding the right person for her after a series of heartbreaks.

She appeared to confirm that the song was about Alwyn in the lyrics, which read: "I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all."

Swift and Alwyn began dating in 2016, and their split was announced in April 2023.

The singer has since moved on with NFL star Travis Kelce.

After Swift revealed the tracklist for "The Tortured Poets Department" in February, fans immediately began speculating that many of the songs in the upcoming album would be about her relationship with Alwyn.

Among the songs believed to be about the actor are "So Long, London," "Down Bad," "But Daddy I Love Him," "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)," "loml," and "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."

Fans also theorized that the album's name may be a reference to Alwyn, who had a WhatsApp group chat with other actors called "The Tortured Man Club."

Alwyn, who is notoriously private, has not publicly addressed the speculations about his ex-girlfriend's upcoming album.

However, an unnamed insider told the Daily Mail earlier this year that they believe the actor feels it would be "shady" for Swift to "diss" him publicly given that he "has not said one word about Taylor or their breakup and has been completely respectful of her."

"The Tortured Poets Department" is set to be released Friday.
