She also suggests that Matty “stole” her from Joe in the song “loml,” where she sings: “Mr. Steal Your Girl, then make her cry.”
And, as mentioned, Taylor repeatedly alludes to marriage being a sore topic between her and Joe. In her song “So Long London,” which is widely believed to be about the British actor, she sings: “You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues? / I died on the altar waiting for the proof.”
She also repeatedly hints that Matty preyed on this apparent weak spot in her and Joe’s romance by love-bombing her, also singing in “loml:” “You shit-talked me under the table, talking rings and talking cradles.”
And in “The Tortured Poets Department,” she adds: “At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one / People put wedding rings on, and that’s the closest I’ve come / To my heart exploding.”
