Why is she praising her best friend’s ex?
Just a day before the release of Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” fans (and haters) are speculating about the validity of leaks that have made their way to the internet.
One involves an interesting line about Charlie Puth, who has a complicated history with Swift’s best friend, Selena Gomez.
The title song from Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ may be about Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez.
If leakers are to be believed, then lyrics from the song “The Tortured Poets Department” reference Charlie Puth.
It is alleged that a line similar to “We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist” is in the song.

The lyric, understandably, has people confused. After all, Puth and Gomez’s relationship was not exactly a nice one.
In a 2020 cover story for WSJ Magazine, Swift said of Gomez, “I knew from when I met her I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don’t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.”
This quote has people questioning why Swift would release a song with a lyric praising Puth.
