All the Times Taylor Swift's 'Ready For It?' Lyrics Possibly Reference Joe Alwyn

No rest for Taylor Swift, not even during Labor Day weekend. The 27-year-old dropped “…Ready For It?” on Sunday morning, her second song off Reputation (and the album’s kick-off track). As fans were quick to point out, the sexy song includes a number of seeming references to Swift’s personal life, be it past relationships or her current boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn. Ahead, a look at the lyrics to “…Ready For It?”

Swift opens “…Ready For It” by rap-singing about a new man who has captured her interest. If the lines are about Alwyn, that almost literally tracks with the young actor’s career. His debut movie was last year’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, in which Alwyn starred as a U.S. soldier stricken with PTSD after a deadly firefight during the Iraq war.

Swift dated Tom Hiddleston (36) and Calvin Harris (33) before beginning her relationship with Alwyn (26).

While Swift’s previous high-profile relationships were quick to explode in the press, her time with Alwyn has gone at a relatively slower pace. “Her decision to keep her relationship with Joe quiet is making her happy,” a source told PEOPLE recently. “They have been getting to know each other slowly without any pressure.”

Swift has long been infatuated with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton — Joseph Kahn, who directed Swift’s 2015 video for “Wildest Dreams,” said the clip was heavily influenced by the Hollywood couple. Here, she compares her new love to their romance (while casting aspersions on previous relationships in the process).

Swift, of course, hasn’t said who the song is about (some fans, notably, believe “…Ready For It?” references her relationship with Harry Styles). Read the lyrics below and judge for yourself…

Knew he was a killer
First time that I saw him
Wondered how many girls
He had loved and left haunted
But if he’s a ghost then
I can be a phantom
Holding him for ransom
Some boys are tryin’ too hard
He don’t try at all though
Younger than my exes
But he act like such a man so I
see nothing better
I keep him forever
…like a vendetta

Pre-Chorus:

I, I, I see how this is gon go
Touch me and you’ll never be alone
I, Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know

Chorus:

In the middle of the night
In my dreams
You should see the things we do
Baby… Mmm…
In the middle of the night
In my dreams
I know I’m gonna be with you
So I take my time
…are you ready for it?

Knew I was a robber
First time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off
and never saying ‘sorry’
But if I’m a thief then
He can join the heist and
We’ll move to an island
And, and he can be my jailer
Burton to this Taylor
Every love I’ve known in comparison
is a failure
I forget their names now
I’m so very tame now
Never be the same now, now…
