Taylor Swift edits video to erase ex, fans notice anyway

Taylor Swift is an American singer and songwriter known for hits such as "Shake It Off," "Bad Blood," and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." She creates music primarily in genres like country, pop, and pop-rock.

Swift is recognized for her distinctive songwriting style. Most of her lyrics draw from personal experiences and romantic relationships. Over the years, she has won numerous music awards and has established herself as one of the most important artists in contemporary pop music.

On December 13th, Taylor Swift's channel released a video showing behind-the-scenes moments in making the "Bejeweled" music video. The footage includes selecting outfits, last-minute script changes, and the singer directing actors.

This seemingly ordinary video sparked significant controversy among Taylor Swift's fans. At one point, the singer accidentally checked something on her phone. During that moment, viewers saw wallpaper displaying a photo with her ex-partner Joe Alwyn. Although the music video was filmed in 2022, and the couple broke up in 2023, fans speculated that their relationship was already in question at that time. Additionally, the pair had separated amicably after a six-year relationship.

Taylor Swift most likely had enough of the snide comments, so she blurred the unfortunate wallpaper in the footage. Her move further provoked internet users to unfortunately discuss it, but the matter did not die down.
