While there are a few tracks dedicated to Alwyn, Swift’s main focus appears to be her fling with Healy, which occurred in spring […]

Swift, 34, dated the 1975 musician during spring 2023, one month after news broke that she and had called it quits after six years together.

Swift and Healy, who were first linked in 2014, had a short-lived romance and split in June 2023 after a resurfaced podcast interview of his began circulating on the internet where he made problematic comments about Swift’s pal .

While Swift has moved on from Healy — she has, after all, been in a relationship with since summer 2023 — that didn’t stop her from creating music about their whirlwind romance.

Fans have speculated that several of her TTPD songs — including “But Daddy I Love Him” and “Fortnight” — are inspired by her relationship with Healy.

Us would imagine the aforementioned reporter was asking Healy about “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” in which Swift sings: “And I don’t miss what we had but could someone give / A message to the smallest man who ever lived.”

The latest theory taking over the internet adds Swift’s “Florida!!!” to that list, with one fan pointing to the lyrics “Florida is one hell of a drug / Florida can I use you up?” to speculate that Swift’s “drugs” reference could actually mean Healy.

“That’s why we saw them together after the break up with Joe,” the fan said in a TikTok video shared on Tuesday, April 23. “He’s one hell of a drug because he works. He actually takes her mind off of Joe.”
