“Ready For It?” – Joe Alwyn — The “Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so” lyric points to this track being about current boyfriend Joe Alwyn. He’s 26, which is younger than Taylor’s most recent exes, Tom Hiddleston and Calvin Harris.

“All You Had To Do Was Stay” – Harry Styles

“All You Had To Do Was Stay” – Harry Styles — The lyric, “All I know is that you drove us off the road,” continues the theme of bad driving throughout the album so we can believe they’re all about the same person. Harry Styles should probably retake his driver’s test.

“Dear John” – John Mayer

“Dear John” – John Mayer — While Taylor claims to “never name names,” the answer to who this song is about is right there in the title. John Mayer has even spoken out about the song, saying it humiliated him. In her defense, John, you should’ve known the girl in the dress would write you a song after dating her in 2009.

“I Knew You Were Trouble” – John Mayer

“I Knew You Were Trouble” – John Mayer — It’s become popular belief that this song is about Harry Styles, likely because the guy in the music video sports a ship tattoo very similar to the one Harry has. The problem with this though is the album was released before their relationship began, so unless Taylor Swift is a psychic, this is probably about someone else – likely John Mayer who has a reputation for breaking hearts.

“The Story Of Us” – John Mayer

“The Story Of Us” – John Mayer — Taylor Swift has said that this song was about a run-in with an ex at an awards show and the liner note that accompanies this song is “CMT Awards.” Taylor Swift and John Mayer both performed at the CMT Awards in 2010, making him the likely subject of this song.

“Style” – Harry Styles

“Style” – Harry Styles — This one’s pretty obviously about Harry Styles. If you need to look any further than the song title, the fact that he was the most recent ex at the time of the release of “1989” should do it.

“Out Of The Woods” – Harry Styles

“Out Of The Woods” – Harry Styles — Harry Styles used to have a paper airplane necklace that Taylor started wearing while they were dating in 2012. The necklace makes an appearance again in the music video for this song, as well as in the lyric, “two paper airplanes flying.”

“Forever & Always” – Joe Jonas

“Last Kiss” – Joe Jonas

“Last Kiss” – Joe Jonas — This song mentions running off a plane on July 9th. Taylor Swift flew into Dallas to see a Jonas Brothers concert on July 9, 2008 making this song almost certainly about her ex Joe Jonas.

“Begin Again” – Conor Kennedy

“Begin Again” – Conor Kennedy — The line, “And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid” could be a reference to Conor Kennedy’s age, since he’s one of the youngest people Taylor Swift has dated.

“Stay Stay Stay” – Conor Kennedy

“Stay Stay Stay” – Conor Kennedy — This song has a similar feeling to “Begin Again” since they’re both about learning to be happy in a new relationship after dating “self-indulgent takers.” Taylor Swift dated Conor Kennedy after Jake Gyllenhaal, so we think this one’s also about Conor.

“Everything Has Changed” – Conor Kennedy

“Everything Has Changed” – Conor Kennedy — The song off of “Red” mentions a love interest who has green eyes and freckles, which points to it being about Conor Kennedy. Taylor also provides secret messages in her album, and the one that accompanied this track was “Hyannis Port,” which solidifies it being about Conor since that’s also the location of the Kennedy Compound.

“Teardrops On My Guitar” – Drew Hardwick — “Drew looks at me, can he tell that I can’t breathe?” Well, we don’t know if Taylor’s high school crush Drew Hardwick can tell that, but he can tell that this song is obviously about him.
