Taylor Swift May Have Just Taken Shots at Joe Alwyn with The Tortured Poets Department
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn’s love relationship is no more, and Swifties knew that their beloved pop sensation would at least once take a shot on her ex-boyfriend. And guess what? During the Grammys Acceptance Speech, Swift recently announced her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Deja Vu, anyone? We heard something similar coming from Joe Alwyn two years back when fans discovered that the actor’s WhatsApp group chat is titled The Tortured Man Club.
However, we aren’t claiming that Taylor Swift’s album is about Alwyn, whom she dated for six years, but let us tell you that the group chat name was invented after the actor played Nick in the TV series Conversations With Friends, where he portrayed a married photographer who becomes romantically involved with a young poet.
Taylor Swift’s Upcoming Album The Tortured Poets Department Might Seems About Joe Alwyn
While everyone’s waiting for April to arrive, Swifties are speculating if Taylor Swift‘s The Tortured Poets Department is a veiled jab at her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. The former couple dated for almost six years, and in 2023, we heard that the You Belong With Me hitmaker was no longer romantically involved with the Stars at Noon actor.
However, the day it was out that Swift and Alwyn parted ways due to differences in their personalities and lifestyles, the billionaire singer’s fans knew that their mother would soon release a song that would connect the dots.

While receiving her 13th Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights, Taylor Swift disclosed in her acceptance speech that after a long time, she’s finally released The Tortured Poets Department. The Look What You Made Me Do singer said (via Variety):
“Okay, this is my 13th Grammy, which is my lucky number. I don’t know if I’ve ever told you that… So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19th. It’s called ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ I’m going to go and post the cover right now backstage. Thank you, I love you! Thank you!”
The globally renowned pop star mentioned that she’s been keeping this upcoming album for two years, which is when we knew that Joe Alwyn and his friend named their group chat The Tortured Man Club (via GQ). Even social media users, notable on X, have speculated that The Tortured Poets Department is about Swift’s ex-boyfriend since she has a history of taking revenge with hit songs.
Another detail that might ring the bell is that Alwyn and his friend named the group after the actor portrayed Nick in Conversations With Friends: where Joe Alwyn’s character gets involved with a poet. Quite astonishing, right? After all, it’s TAYLOR SWIFT!

“All’s fair in love and poetry… Sincerely, The Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department.”
Following the posts, fans couldn’t stop expressing their excitement and anticipation for the Teardrops on My Guitar singer’s upcoming album. Taylor Swift has now become one of the most iconic singers in pop culture after her Eras Tour broke remarkable records.
The Tortured Poets Department comes out on April 19.
