Taylor Swift fans are convinced the singing superstar has taken a swipe at Formula 1 veteran Fernando Alonso in her new album.
The Aston Martin driver was rumoured to be dating the popstar last year.

The Spaniard, 42, fuelled rumours about their relationship with posts on social media, The Sun reports.
One of these included him winking at the camera while Taylor’s song, Karma, played in the background.
Fans are now sure she has taken a swipe back at the F1 star in one of her songs from The Tortured Poets Department album.
On track 18, titled ‘imgonnagetyouback’, she references an Aston Martin being driven into a ditch.
Fans have reacted to the suggestion on social media.
One posted: “Alonso what did you do?!”
A second commented: “Wait….. did they actually date then?”
A third wrote: “Taylonso will never die.”
A fourth said: “We’re reviving Taylonso rumours for funsies.”
Another added: “An f1 and Taylor Swift crossover is not what I was expecting to wake up to.”
Swift has been dating NFL star Travis Kelce since September 2023.
They met at one of Taylor’s historic Eras Tour concerts at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, when he planned and failed to give her a friendship bracelet containing his number.
The Alonso reference comes as fans continue to theorise about elements of Swift’s new album, that has sent fans wild since its release.
Some are convinced the new double album is about her fling with indie musician Matty Healy and his aunty has now spoken out.
Swift and Healy had a brief romance in 2023. The two got together after the singer split from her long-term boyfriend of six years, UK actor Joe Alwyn.
Things seemed pretty hot and heavy for a second there.
On May 5, Healy wrapped up playing a show in the Philippines with his band 1975 and boarded a 17-hour flight to see Swift’s Eras tour in Nashville.
The musician was then spotted hanging out in the VIP tent and singing along to Swift’s hits during the show.
There were a few more reported sightings of them hanging out, but the relationship quickly fizzled, and Swift was soon Kelce.
Swift and Kelce’s love story has since become a pop culture phenomenon.
Although her romance with Healy certainly wasn’t front of mind, the lyrics on the new album seem to hint at a short-term, intense fling that left her heartbroken.
Healey’s Aunty Debbie Dedes, the sister of UK television personality Denise Welch, has spoken out about the new album and how her nephew handles the scrutiny.
The Daily Mail reported that Dedes said the frontman would not be shocked by any reference to him on Swift’s new album.
“I don’t think it will come as a shock to him at all,” she said.
Dedes added that her nephew was “very happy” in his new relationship and would be “focusing” on that, but as a family member, she knew more about what really went down.
“As my nephew, we know a bit more about what went on than has been in the press,” she claimed.
