These are all the lyrics from the album The Tortured Poets Department that Taylor Swift sent to her ex-lover Joe Alwyn.
The “super album” The Tortured Poets Department as well as the extended version with 15 additional songs are making the already hot name of Taylor Swift even hotter than ever. According to Taylor, she prepared this album 2 years ago, when she was still in love with actor Joe Alwyn. That’s why many people think that this product is “dedicated” to Joe.
Joe Alwyn is said to be shocked and disappointed if his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift reveals negative details about their relationship in his new album The Tortured Poets Department. The source revealed: “Joe has never said a word about Taylor or their breakup and completely respects her. There’s no denying that the name of her upcoming album is related to Joe’s group chat. .. Joe has no reason to believe that Taylor will criticize him or their relationship. No matter what Taylor does, he will not respond because he has excluded himself from her story and I’m so glad I did.”
While we were still together, Joe worked with Taylor on two albums, folklore and evermore. This helped him bring home an Album of the Year golden trumpet for folklore at the 2021 Grammys and a nomination in the same category with evermore.
Once released, The Tortured Poets Department turned out to be more than just Joe Alwyn. Fans also pointed out many songs written for Matty Healy, another ex-lover with a quick acquaintance as well as Taylor Swift’s current lover – Travis Kelce. However, what Taylor Swift wrote about Joe Alwyn is still the most tormenting and emotional part of the album The Tortured Poets Department.
Joe Alwyn can be considered Taylor Swift’s deepest love.

So, after the breakup, it’s understandable that she said goodbye to London, to Joe, which is exactly what the lyrics of the song So Long, London are aimed at. Taylor also refers to Heath house in the song, which many fans have interpreted as the house the couple lived in near Hampstead Heath in West London. The song “So Long, London” is probably Taylor Swift’s recollection of the beautiful memories of the two of them during their 6 years in London, during which time she still flew back and forth regularly between the two oceans to be with her. Joe Alwyn. That was the time Taylor Swift gave up life in America just to live in a suburban house with Joe Alwyn, even staying together during the Covid-19 epidemic. But of course everything is just a memory now!
