Taylor Swift likes Instagram post ranking her ex-boyfriends, including Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy

Taylor Swift has liked an Instagram post that hits out at ex-boyfriends Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, on the day her album The Tortured Poets Department was released.

The new album – which, surprisingly, was released in two parts – divulges details about her relationships and subsequent breakups with Alwyn and Healy.

But Swift has revealed even more insight into how she feels about her exes by liking a shady Instagram post. 

Betches Media shared a series of memes on Instagram, with the first two reading: “Decoding Taylor Swift easter eggs feels like working two jobs, training for a marathon, dating a man who is emotionally unstable, and clocking in the overnight shift at the FBI all at once”, and “Thank god she became a musician and not a serial killer”.

But it was the latter posts in the carousel that has raised fans’ eyebrows.

One meme sees Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms fame with her infamous pyramid, but instead of dancers ranked, it’s Swift’s boyfriends.

On top is current beau Travis Kelce, while in the middle are Taylor Lautner, Harry Styles, and Tom Hiddleston. 

But the bottom tier features Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Calvin Harris.

The final slide of the carousel is even more brutal: a Swifty tweeted: “every time we get a new lyric the hunger games cannon goes off”, with a photo of Alwyn as a fallen tribute attached.

Many fans thought Swift’s album would centre around Alwyn, and were surprised to find that Healy inspired a fair share of the tracks.

Nevertheless, Swift has made it clear how she feels about both exes – with a simple Instagram like.
