Taylor Swift is an American icon. Her music transcends age, identity, and geography through Taylor’s ability to use her own life experience as a conduit to explore universal touchtones of the human experience.

Nearly all of her loves, found and lost, have made their way into her vast catalog. And, man, have there been a lot of loves.

Like, A LOT.

According to ChatGPT (In solidarity with the Writers Guild of America, I’m abstaining from rigorous fact-checking.), pop’s biggest star has dated, split from, and/or sung about Harry Styles, John Mayer, Tom Hiddleston, Jake Gyllenhaal, Cory Monteith, Joe Jonas, Calvin Harris, Joe Alwyn, Taylor Lautner, Lucas Till, Brandon Borello, Drew Hardwick, Gigi Hadid, and frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff.

If you’re in a public venue right now, look at the person to your left. Now the person to your right. If neither of them has dated Taylor Swift, then congratulations. You have!

It may just have been for a fleeting moment in the CAVA line, so you can be forgiven if it slipped your mind.

It hasn’t slipped hers. Rest assured, you’ve got an epic ballad coming on the bonus disc of Midnights’ Folklore Deluxe
