“Give me again my girlhood, it was mine first/And I rattling certain by no means would’ve by no means danced with the satan,” sings Swift, who was simply 19 when she was relationship Mayer, who’s 13 years her senior.
And he or she makes it fairly apparent that the marginally spooky music is about Mayer when she drops a giant clue about her age: “At 19, and the God’s trustworthy fact is that the ache was heaven/And now that I’m grown, I’m afraid of ghosts.”
Swift is clearly not in a forgiving temper about how Mayer “tried to erase” their romance.
“I remorse you on a regular basis/I can’t let this go/I combat with you in my sleep/The wound gained’t shut,” she sings.
The military of Swifties — because the singer’s legions of followers are identified — have been all for this newest spherical of Mayer bashing on Twitter.
“john mayer was sleeping peacefully however was awoken at 3am with a chill down his backbone,” tweeted one Swiftie.

However “Midnights” additionally finds Swift reflecting on her present romance with actor Joe Alwyn, her beau of six years.
On the electro-infused opener “Lavender Haze,” she addresses rumors of their engagement: “All they hold asking me/Is that if I’m gonna be your bride/The one kinda woman they see/Is a one evening or a spouse.”
Elsewhere, the light, swish “Candy Nothing” — which was co-written by Alwyn underneath his pseudonym William Bowery — seems to present an intimate peek right into a relationship that gives candy solace from the celebrity grind for Swift: “I discover myself working residence to your candy nothings/Outdoors, they’re push and shoving/You’re within the kitchen buzzing/All that you simply ever wished from me was candy nothing.”
However Swift has revenge on her thoughts on “Karma,” which appears to be a dig at Scooter Braun, with whom the singer battled over her master recordings earlier than she begun to re-record her albums: “My pennies made your crown/Trick me as soon as/Trick me twice/Don’t you realize that money ain’t the one value?/It’s coming again round.”
