Let’s dive into the latest Taylor Swift fan theory involving ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn and some mysterious “murder” songs that have fans buzzing.
Last weekend, Alwyn created a buzz with his Easter egg-packed cover story in Sunday Times’ Style, where he opened up about his split from Swift. Shortly after this tell-all interview was released on June 15, Taylor took to the stage in Liverpool for her third Eras Tour show and made a setlist switch that got tongues wagging.
Before playing the surprise songs in Liverpool, Taylor playfully dubbed it the ‘Murder Mashup’ and crooned an acoustic blend of “Carolina” and “No Body No Crime.” (“Carolina” was penned for the movie version of the murder mystery book Where The Crawdads Sing, and “No Body No Crime” from Evermore is a fictional murder tale she crafted with Haim.)
Fans couldn’t help but notice the timing of these song choices after Alwyn’s statement. Taylor also included a mix of “The Manuscript” and “Red” on the piano.
Reactions poured in on social media platforms:
- “A murder mashup at this time. well yes!”
- “Girlie is in her feels about that Joe interview.”
- “Okay you have to give it to Taylor. A murder mashup right before she heads to London is hysterical.”
Alwyn acknowledged the hardships surrounding their breakup, emphasizing the challenges of having a private split thrust into the public eye and dissected by the media and society.
He reflected, “I have made my peace with that gap between what is known and what is said.”
