Did Taylor include a “diss” of Travis’ ex in her song? (Genuinely asking, I like Taylor’s music but am not familiar enough with her / her history / her lyrics to know the answer to this) |

Swifties are obsessed at the fact that Travis only dated black women before Taylor. So it looks suspicious that it takes a famous billionaire to change that preference. I guess everyone has a price. |

No, black women are obsessed with this. Nobody else cares. |

Here is the song. The bolded is widely assumed to refer to Kayla. I had a bad habit Of missing lovers past My brother used to call it 'Eating out of the trash' It's never gonna last I thought my house was haunted I used to live with ghosts And all the perfect couples Said, "When you know you know." And, "When you don't you don't." And all of the foes and all of the friends Have seen it before, they'll see it again Life is a song, it ends when it ends I was wrong But my Mama told me It's alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh, oh my Lord Never made no one like you before You had to make your own sunshine But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh oh You couldn't understand it Why you felt alone You were in it for real She was in her phone And you were just a pose And don't we try to love love We give it all we got (we give it all we got) You finally left the table And what a simple thought You're starving til you're not And all of the foes and all of the friends Have messed up before, they'll mess up again Life is a song, it ends when it ends You move on And that's when I told you It's alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh, oh my Lord Never met no one like you before You had to make your own sunshine But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh oh This is just A storm inside a teacup But shelter here with me, my love Thunder like a drum This life will beat you up, up, up, up This is just a temporary speed bump But failure brings you freedom And I can bring you love, love, love, love, love Don't you sweat it, baby It's alright You were dancing through the lightning strikes Sleepless in the onyx night But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh, oh my Lord Never made no one like you before, no You had to make your own sunshine But now the sky is opalite Oh oh oh oh oh |

No. In a song about finding each other and the path to get to the happy place they are right now, she had one line about that relationship. It’s wasn’t a “diss” at all. |

Why even mention your boyfriend’s ex that he dated years ago. Screams insecurity and gives the ex more undeserved attention. |

I disagree. If I were his ex that would definitely feel like a diss. |

It’s part of the story. It’s very matter of fact. Have you even heard the song? |

Read the lyrics. She also talks about how her brother said she was eating out of the trash. |

I’m going to out on a limb and bet that Kayla owns and is fully aware that her priorities lie with social media, publicity, and attention and perhaps she wasn’t as into him as a person as he wished. |

| I find it kind of ironic that Taylor refers to how Kayla treated Travis as a “pose” but look at how publicly her own relationship with Travis has played out. |

Regarding her having a hard time letting go of her own previous relationships and moving on. |

Not sure what other outcome there could be with two famous people? |

Also, isn't this always the concern in a lopsided relationship where the famous one worries that the less famous one is using them or taking advantage? Or complaining that one person was always in their phone? That seems to be pretty common and relatable even for non famous couples. |
