One of her TTPD songs is known as “Fresh Out the Slammer,” which eagle-eyed Swifties have theorized is usually a rebuttal or sequel to her Reputation love songs about Alwyn, 33.
“From ‘he will also be my jailor’ to ‘contemporary out the slammer’ is crazy,” one fan wrote by means of X on Friday, April 12, referring to the lyrics to “Ready for It?” that gave the impression on Swift’s 2017 LP, Reputation.
“Ready for It?” particularly features the lyrics, “And he can also be my jailer / Burton to this Taylor / Every love I’ve known when put next is a failure. I omit their names now, I’m so very tame now.”
The strains, also comparing her romance to Elizabeth Taylor’s famed dating with Richard Burton, trace that she’s tremendous being locked away if it’s together with her then-partner. While Swift, 34, famously doesn’t name her lyrical inspiration, Reputation is closely regarded as impressed by means of her dating with Alwyn.
Swift and the Conversations With Friends alum dated between 2016 and early 2023, all over which she dropped albums Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Midnights and a few rereleases. During that duration, they stored their dating personal and seldom were seen in public.
“Life is brief. Have adventures. Me locking myself away in my house for numerous years — I’ll never get that point back,” Swift informed TIME in her 2023 Person of the Year profile, which was published that December. “I’m more trusting now than I used to be six years ago.”
With the announcement of TTPD, Swifties throughout the globe have theorized many of the songs — including “Fresh Out the Slammer” — deal with the pop star’s heartbreak.
“If the first word is hereby may that imply that ‘contemporary out of the slammer’ is like a storyline of being prosecuted to go to jail and it ends along with her getting out???” every other social media user wrote by means of X, referring to Swift breaking apart with Alwyn in April 2023 prior to shifting on with new boyfriend Travis Kelce a number of months later.
Other fans used the song name to describe footage of Swift out-and-about in New York City that April, days after Us Weekly confirmed the break up, in comparison to regularly being hidden away at house with Alwyn and her pet cats.
Another fan speculated, “What if she’s not the one contemporary out the slammer however him??? What if she felt he was a prisoner to her reputation and when they broke up he felt relieved as a substitute of hurt?”
After Swift and Alwyn called it quits, a supply confirmed to Us that the shy actor “never liked all of the attention” that got here with Swift’s massive ranges of popularity however didn’t “blame” her for commanding any room. (Swift wrote 2020’s “Peace” about her insecurities over the same idea.)
“Fresh Out the Slammer” and “Ready for It?” aren't Swift’s handiest musical masterpieces that function themes of prison. In “Getaway Car,” she sings, “It used to be the great break out, the jail damage, the gentle of freedom on my face.”

“Afterglow,” a song from 2019’s Lover, also mentions jail. “I blew issues out of share, now you’re blue, put you in jail for something you didn’t do,” she sings. Plus, in her 2023 tune video for “I Can See You,” Swift spends maximum of the scene seeking to get out of a jail cell in a locked vault.
