Fans have already fallen head over heels with Taylor’s new song, and of course, what’s a Taylor Swift single without hidden Easter eggs, as always. But this time, Taylor gives a different twist to “Lover”. Here are 5 things every Swifties needs to know (or may have already spotted) about the new hit “Lover”.
1. It was written by Taylor herself

Remember the “Speak Now” days where Taylor wrote the entire album by herself? “Lover” is the first song Taylor has penned all by herself since 2014’s “This Love” – followed by the many collaborations of her other releases.
It is no wonder that “Lover” was named as one of Taylor’s most “perfect love song” because fans got to indulge in Taylor’s signature songwriting once more, coming straight from her heart!
2. “Lover” revolves around Taylor’s relationship with Joe Alwyn
The pair have said to have met on 2016, and the rest was history. Psst, this is also the first time that Taylor is writing a whole new album while staying in the same relationship for the past 3 years! The music video also shows bits and pieces of the pair’s relationship.
And this isn’t even the best bit…
3. Can you hear the wedding bells ringing?

With the bridge of “Lover” going:
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force-of-a-man to be my lover
My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue
All’s well that ends well to end up with you”
Did somebody mention something blue and something borrowed? Could this be a sign of Taylor’s big engagement?! Well, Swifties have certainly got crazy about this hidden Easter Egg!
4. Welcoming back the old Taylor?

“Lover” features a slightly different edge comparing to her recent singles from Reputation. Featuring country-pop elements in the music, and a 60’s vibe, ahh, it’s good to have the old Taylor back again.
5. Not your usual song about breakups!
