Fans Think Taylor Swift’s “All of the Girls You Loved Before” Lyrics Are a Note to Joe Alwyn’s Exes

Good morning, in case you made the decision to actually go to sleep last night instead of staying up to wait for Taylor Swift to drop new music, you have some catching up to do. On top of gifting everyone three new “Taylor’s Version” songs, Tay released a gorgeous unreleased track from Lover called “All of the Girls You Loved Before,” which fans are fully convinced is about Joe Alwyn.

Or more specifically, an extremely pure and sweet note to his ex-girlfriends.

Clearly, the time has come to analyze the lyrics courtesy of Genius, which include this gem of a chorus: “All of the girls you loved before (ooh) / Made you the one I’ve fallen for / Every dead-end street led you straight to me / Now you’re all I need, I’m so thankful for / All of the girls you loved before / But I love you more.”

[Verse 1]
When you think of all the late nights
Lame fights over the phone
Wake up in the mornin’ with someone
But feelin’ alone

[Refrain]
A heart is drawn around your name
In someone’s handwriting, not mine
We’re sneakin’ out into town
Holdin’ hands, just killin’ time

[Pre-Chorus]
Your past and mine are parallel lines
Stars all aligned and they intertwined
And taught you
The way you call me “baby”
Treat me like a lady
All that I can say is

[Chorus]
All of the girls you loved before (ooh)
Made you the one I’ve fallen for
Every dead-end street led you straight to me
Now you’re all I need, I’m so thankful for
All of the girls you loved before
But I love you more

[Verse 2]
When I think of all the makeup
Fake love out on the town (ooh)
Cryin’ in the bathroom for some dude
Whose name I cannot remember now

[Refrain]
Secret jokes all alone
No one’s home, 16 and wild (ooh)
We’re breakin’ up, makin’ up
Leave without sayin’ goodbye (ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
And just know that
It’s everything that made me
Now I call you “baby”
That’s why you’re so amazing

[Chorus]
All of the girls you loved before (ooh)
Made you the one I’ve fallen for
Every dead-end street led you straight to me
Now you’re all I need, I’m so thankful for
All of the girls you loved before
But I love you more

[Bridge]
Your mother brought you up loyal and kind
Teenage love taught you there’s good in goodbye
Every woman that you knew brought you here
I wanna teach you how forever feels like

[Chorus]
The girls you loved before (ooh)
Made you the one I’ve fallen for
Every dead-end street (dead-end street) led you straight to me (straight to me)
Now you’re all I need (all I need), I’m so thankful for
All of the girls you loved before
But I love you more

[Outro]
(I love you more)
(I love you more)
