Taylor Swift Admits to Being a ‘Functioning Alcoholic’ in Latest Track

by

In one of her new songs, Taylor Swift hints at having a struggle with alcohol, even though it’s hard to determine if she’s being serious or not. Despite this, it’s no secret that she has been associated with alcohol recently.

Taylor Swift released her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on Friday, where she delves into her heartbreaks with Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. One of the standout lyrics from the opening track, “Fortnight,” portrays her (or the persona she embodies in the song) as someone struggling with alcoholism during this period.

Taylor croons, “I was meant to be whisked away, but they forgot to come and collect me. I used to be a functioning alcoholic until my new look went unnoticed. All of this is to say, I hope you’re doing alright. However, you’re the cause of it all, and no one here is at fault. But what about your silent betrayal?”

Taylor does not offer any further explanation on the song, leaving us unsure if she is speaking literally or metaphorically. However, it is worth noting that she revealed in an interview with TIME Magazine that she stopped drinking prior to her “Eras” tour.

During her tour, she made a conscious decision to prioritize her health and fitness. She shared with TIME that she had to leave behind her “frat guy” lifestyle and focus on maintaining a sober and active routine. This dedication to her well-being was essential for her to deliver exceptional performances that lasted almost four hours.

During the early stages of her “Eras” tour, Taylor may not have been indulging in alcoholic beverages. However, this didn’t last long as we have witnessed over the past few months. Taylor has been frequently seen with a drink in hand on various occasions, particularly when she is around Travis Kelce.

Taylor has been spotted enjoying beers and other alcoholic beverages at several football games while supporting her boyfriend on the field. This was no exception during the Super Bowl, where she was clearly having a great time with a cup in hand.

During Taylor’s vacation in the Bahamas with Travis, she was seen enjoying herself in the water while holding a cocktail. Over the weekend at Coachella, people noticed that she seemed to be intoxicated as well. Lip-readers even caught her apologizing to TK for being drunk.

Taylor Swift has been spotted drinking at various high-profile public events recently, including the Super Bowl after-parties. She was seen enjoying herself and partying with the team.

During the 2023 VMAs, fans noticed that Taylor Swift seemed a bit intoxicated, leading to the trending hashtag “Drunk Taylor.” This incident highlighted the fact that people pay attention to her behavior at public events.

It’s interesting to note that she herself seems to be aware of this, as she mentions being an “alcoholic” in the past tense in her song. This implies that she used to drink even more, assuming we take her words literally.

Taylor has always maintained a sense of control, for what it’s worth. Although she enjoys herself and occasionally indulges in a drink or two, there has never been any indication that she lacks self-control or struggles with this problem.

Fans have been expressing surprise and sparking conversations about her recent alcohol comment.
