“Ready For It?” – Joe Alwyn

“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.

“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” – Jake Gyllenhaal

“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” – Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal inspired the majority of Taylor Swift’s “Red” album, and its lead single is no exception.

“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.

“Red” – Jake Gyllenhaal

“Red” – Jake Gyllenhaal

The majority of this album is about Taylor’s relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, so it makes sense the title track would be about the actor.

“State Of Grace” – Jake Gyllenhaal

“State Of Grace” – Jake Gyllenhaal

The lyrics, “Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes,” point to this song being about blue-eyed Sagittarius Jake Gyllenhaal.

‘I Almost Do’ – Jake Gyllenhaal

‘I Almost Do’ – Jake Gyllenhaal

– A song on Taylor Swift’s “Red” album about a brooding love lost? Yeah, definitely about Jake Gyllenhaal.

“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.”

“I Wish You Would” – Harry Styles

“I Wish You Would” – Harry Styles

“It’s 2 A.M. in my room. Headlights pass the window pane, I think of you.” Again with the driving theme! Again with the songs about Harry Styles.

“Forever & Always” – Joe Jonas

“Forever & Always” – Joe Jonas

This song was added last minute to Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” album and is allegedly about Joe Jonas, who broke up with her over a 27-second phone call after dating for three months back in 2008.

“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.

“Mine” – Cory Monteith

“Mine” – Cory Monteith

Taylor Swift never had a serious relationship with the late Cory Monteith, but she’s said that this song was about a boy who put his arm around her and she imagined dating. It’s rumoured the guy in question is the Glee star.

“Enchanted” – Adam Young

“Enchanted” – Adam Young

Taylor Swift never dated Adam Young, but she did write this love song about him. The Owl City frontman responded to her by writing her a letter and performing his own rendition of the track.

“Back To December” – Taylor Lautner

“Back To December” – Taylor Lautner

Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner dated in 2009, and according to the lyrics of this song, Taylor felt bad about how she ended things with the Twilight star.

“Teardrops On My Guitar” – Drew Hardwick

“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.
