When Taylor Swift posted a trio of cryptic Instagrams on Thursday morning, fans knew something was going down—and they were right. The singer teased the release of her next single “Call It What You Want,” and at midnight on Friday, she delivered in a big way.
“Call It What You Want” is the signature Swift love song we’ve all been waiting for, and the lyrics really speak for themselves. In the song, Swift sings about a boy whose eyes spark up her darkest night, and whose initials she wants to wear around her neck. This is the first song from Swift’s Reputation-era that’s focused around romance specifically, and it’s a notably softer tune.
Could it be about her boyfriend Joe Alwyn? Reading the lyrics, we really wouldn’t be surprised.
