5 Biggest Fan Theories About Taylor Swift's 'Reputation': From Kanye to a Split Album

Swift already took shots at her haters and serenaded her super-hot boyfriend in her previously-released singles "Look What You Made Me Do," "Gorgeous" and "Call It What You Want," but the full album brings a lot more intrigue to the story.

Here are the five biggest theories that Swifties have come up with so far:

We all knew "Look What You Made Me Do" referenced Swift's feud with Kanye West, with all those snakes in the music video and lines like "I don't like your little games / Don't like your tilted stage." But anyone looking for her final word on the matter should check out "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things," which fans are 99 percent convinced is aimed squarely at the rapper.

Swift, you may remember, got thoroughly played by Kim Kardashian when she claimed Kanye never got her permission to say "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous" in his controversial track "Famous," only to have Kardashian release Snapchat videos of Kanye and Taylor discussing the lyrics over the phone. (Swift later clarified in her "I would very much like to be removed from this narrative" statement that she never agreed to being called "that bitch" in the song.)

That incident seems to be referenced in these lyrics from "TIWWCHNT":

"It was so nice being friends again / There I was giving you a second chance / But then you stabbed my back while shaking my hand / And therein lies the issue / Friends don't try to trick you / Get you on the phone and mind-twist you / But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately / If only you weren't so shady."

Then there's that part where Swift sings sweetly, "Here's to you / 'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do," then bursts into a savage cackle and says "I can't even say it with a straight face!"

Swift fans are losing their minds over that line, and have declared the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty officially cancelled.

Since we last heard from Swift during her "1989" era, she broke up with DJ and musician Calvin Harris, had a high-profile fling with British actor Tom Hiddleston, and is now happily in love with also-British actor Joe Alwyn. Most of the love songs in "Reputation" are probably about Alwyn, with his "ocean-blue eyes" in "Gorgeous" and "My baby's fit like a daydream" in "Call It What You Want" -- but fans are wondering if Swift's old boyfriends are still lurking in the album somewhere.

This album's epic breakup song is her track "Getaway Car," which seems to be about the night Swift and Hiddleston met and danced together at the Met Gala when she was supposedly still dating Harris:

"It was the best of times, the worst of crimes / I struck a match and blew your mind / But I didn't mean it / And you didn't see it / The ties were black, the lies were white / In shades of grey in candlelight / I wanted to leave him / I needed a reason."

Swift gets sexier than we've ever seen her in "Dress," a song about pining after someone in a crowded room. "They've got no idea / about me and you," Swift croons; "Only bought this dress so you could take it off."

These lyrics could also be about her boyfriend, but some people are having more fun with it and imagining a scandalous secret fling. The line "There is an indentation / In the shape of you / Made your mark on me / A golden tattoo" reminded one fan of a photo of Swift standing next to Drake at a party, wearing a little black dress and a temporary gold tattoo.

Other fans are going all out and imagining that Swift is lusting after her close friend Karlie Kloss. "Say my name and everything just stops / I don't want you like a best friend," she sings. "Even in my worst times, you could see the best of me / Flash back to my mistakes / My rebounds, my earthquakes."

Talk about #SquadGoals!

Swift infamously declared that "Old Taylor can't come to the phone right now ... because she's dead" in "LWYMMD," but Swifties were still looking for signs of life from their favorite pop princess. While she is reinventing herself with "Reputation," sharp-eyed fans have noticed a few nods to her past self -- particularly with the sweet ballad "New Year's Day" that closes out the album.

Maybe the biggest Swiftie scavenger hunt of all is the theory that "Reputation" is split into two parts: songs about the media's narrative of Swift as a conniving control freak, and songs about the happy, relatively normal life she's actually living behind the scenes while everyone gossips about her. Fans were busy parsing the track listings to confirm that theory before the album even dropped.

Did they crack the code? Taylor will never tell.
