Here's the biggest bombshells from Taylor's new album including a dig at a fellow pop star, an explicit track about her husband-to-be Travis Kelce and the terrible loss of a good friend.

X-rated confession

Taylor certainly isn't hiding her romance with Travis Kelce, including some rather explicit references to their time in the bedroom.

Wood is the raciest song on the album and features lyrics referencing manhood and New Heights, Travis' podcast he has with his brother Jason Kelce. It is a playful song full of word play and double entendres.

She sings: "Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me and opened my еyes / Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see / His love was thе key that opened my thighs," amongst other references to sex and their bedroom antics.

Charli XCX feud

Taylor doesn't mince her words on the track Actually Romantic, where she seemingly references her feud with Charli XCX.

In the track, she sings: "I heard you call me "Boring Barbie" when the coke's got you brave / High-fived my ex and then you said you're glad he ghosted me / Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face / Some people might be offended."

The song also references that the person it's about "doesn't wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show", which seemingly fits as both pop stars were dating members of The 1975 at the time.

Charli also has a song called Everything is Romantic, which makes the song of Taylor's track even more telling.

Tragic loss

Taylor has seemingly referenced the devastating loss of her former school friend in a new track. In Ruin The Friendship, she sings: "When I left school, I lost track of you / Abigail called me with the bad news / Goodbye, and we'll never know why," and later says: "But I flew home anyway / With so much left to say ... But I whispered at the grave / Should've kissed you anyway."

The song is believed to be about Jeff Lang, a friend from high school who died at the age of 21. Taylor also paid tribute to him at the 2010 BMI Country Music Awards, where she said: "Yesterday, I sang at the funeral of one of my best friends. And he was 21, and I used to play my songs for him first. So I would like to thank Jeff Lang."

Hitting back

Taylor might be the owner of her master recordings now after buying them back from her former management, but she wants one more opportunity to hit back at them in a new song.

Her famous fall out with her former record label is well documented, and she references this when she sings about how the men who helped with her career only wanted to see her "rise" rather than "reign".

At the end of the song she shows herself getting the power back as she sings "this empire belongs to me", referencing that she now owns her masters once again and was able to purchase them back with the money she got from The Eras Tour.

Baby bombshell

Taylor is entering her new era with this new album - but could a baby be on the cards for the singer? In Wi$h Li$t, she speaks of her desire to have kids and settle down with the love of her life.

"I just want you / Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you / We tell the world to leave us thе f*** alone, and they do," she sings, adding: "Got me drеaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop / Boss up, settle down."
