Does one of Taylor Swift‘s new songs hint at a past drinking problem?
With the release of The Tortured Poets Department at midnight Friday, Swifties had an incredible 31 songs to enjoy… and of course, to decipher. One song in particular that captured fans’ attention, though, was her first single: Fortnight featuring Post Malone. The song opens up with the lyrics:
Then follows with the shocking revelation where Tay appears to call herself “a functioning alcoholic”:
WHOA!
Now, while the song is sung in first person, the pop star has been known to sing in voice as well as about herself. And even when she is being autobiographical she does sometimes just take some creative liberties. She’s an artist after all. So is this real?

Well, it’s also no secret that T-Swizzle enjoys her wine, as she’s made it very clear over the years! From social media posts to song lyrics, Mz. Swift enjoys a red or white wine anytime.
The 34-year-old also admitted in an interview with Time in December she used to tour “like a frat guy” but has since given up drinking to be in her best health for her unbelievably physically straining Eras Tour. So it’s kinda sounding like that is what she’s singing about!
Plus, Fortnight generally is rumored to be about her rebound with Matty Healy — a relationship during which she did go out drinking and partying a lot…
Whatever the reason for these lyrics, we’re just glad to see Tay Tay in her best health and living a life that’s making her happy with a new man by her side who she doesn’t have to sing sad songs about. Reactions, Perezcious readers?

Have you heard it Denise?”Jokingly, Welch responded: “I wasn’t aware she had an album out at all, I haven’t heard anything to do with it,” before the live audience broke into laughter and guest Dermot O’Leary added, “It’s suddenly all become very awkward.”She continued, shutting down the conversation by saying: “I wish her all the best”.

Patti Smith has responded to Taylor Swift inserting her name into the title track of her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.In the song, Swift makes reference to Smith and the poet Dylan Thomas in the lyric: “I laughed in your face and said, ‘You’re not Dylan Thomas, I’m not Patti Smith / This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel / We’re modern idiots.’”It is thought that the title track refers to her short-lived relationship with The 1975‘s Matty Healy and her comment about Smith and Dylan refers to the 1975 frontman and herself in the sense that the pair should not take themselves so seriously and they are just “modern idiots”, according to Today.Now, Smith has had her say on her name being dropped in the song in a social media post featuring a photo of her reading Thomas. “This is saying I was moved to be mentioned in the company of the great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.
Taylor Swift has officially dropped her first music video off of her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”The 34-year-old musician released her new music overnight Friday, with a second batch of songs at 2 a.m., making it a surprise double album.The track features Post Malone and is rumored to be about Matty Healy, as “Fortnight” means a two-week span. She briefly dated the 1975 frontman following her split from Joe Alwyn after six years.“I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me/I was a functioning alcoholic ‘til nobody noticed my new aesthetic,” she sings.“All of this to say I hope you’re OK, but you’re the reason/And no one here’s to blame but what about your quiet treason,” she goes on.

Taylor Swift‘s fans are always pouring over her lyrics for clues about her personal life, and things are no different with the release of her newest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Before her world-famous relationship with Travis Kelce that was debuted this year, Swift had a long-term romance with British actor Joe Alwyn, and then a relatively short rebound with Matty Healy, frontman of the 1975. Most of the material was written and recorded before Swift and Kelce became an item, so he isn’t a key player in the album, although he makes a key late entry, assuming no one else drove her to use football metaphors for the first time.
