Taylor Swift suggests in one of her new songs that she had an alcohol issue, despite the fact that she’s no stranger to liquor right now. It’s impossible to determine if she’s serious or not.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The singer released her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on Friday. It covers her breakups with Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. Fans noticed a phrase in the first tune, “Fortnight,” that presents her (or whoever she’s singing as) as an alky during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor sings. “I was scheduled to be sent away, but they neglected to come and collect me. I was a functioning alcoholic until no one noticed my new appearance. All of this to say, “I hope you’re fine \/ But you’re the reason \/ And no one here is to blame \/ But what about your quiet treason?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor doesn’t elaborate on this in the song, so we’re not sure whether she’s being literal or metaphorical. What’s intriguing is that she quit drinking in the months preceding up to her “Eras” tour, at least according to TIME Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
