Taylor Swift is reportedly feuding with a lot of different celebrities. In her new album, "Reputation," it appears as if she talks about many of them.

In addition to being a self-examination, the lyrics on her album seemingly allude extensively to her feuds, especially with Kanye West and exes like Calvin Harris.

Most of these arguments are years old, and the origins of them are obscure. At this point, they should have healed with time.

Here's a breakdown of her lyrics and which feuds they are likely referring to. We've relied on Genius for the transcriptions.

She seems to slam her many older exes on "...Ready For It?"

The insult comes in the first verse, where she appears to praise her current boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, who's a year younger than her, to insulting her older exes.

"Some boys are tryin' too hard, he don't try at all though
Younger than my exes, but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta"

Many of Swift's exes have been older than her. Most recently, there was Tom Hiddleston and Calvin Harris. She also slammed John Mayer for dating her when she was 19 and he was 32 in "Dear John."

In "Don't Blame Me," later in the album, Swift also confesses that she's "been breakin' hearts a long time/And toyin' with them older guys."



Before she dives in, Taylor Swift brings Ed Sheeran and Future to talk about their feuds.

The first track on the album, "...Ready For It" whets the listeners appetite for drama. "End Game" alludes to it more directly: "Ah, and you heard about me/Ooh, I got some big enemies (yeah)/Big reputation, big reputation," Swift sings.

Then she brings on Future and Ed Sheeran, who both sing "I got a reputation, girl, that don't precede me."

What can those refer to? Well, Future has some beef with the rapper Rocko, and Ed Sheeran has championed Swift in her years-long feud with Katy Perry.



In "I Did Something Bad," she seems to reference her revenge on Calvin Harris.

"I Did Something Bad" is, as the title suggests, a confessional. Taylor Swift took revenge. In this case, it's likely about Calvin Harris.

After Harris and Swift broke up, Harris was reportedly "trashing" her to other people. Swift apparently leaked the news that "Nils Sjöberg," the co-writer for Harris's biggest song, "This is What We Came For,"was actually herself, embarrassing Harris.

"If a man talks s---, then I owe him nothing/I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming," Swift sings on "I Did Something Bad."

Swift revels in her power later in the song, arguing that people are going to hate her no matter what, so she may as well go for it: "They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one/They got their pitchforks and proof, their receipts and reasons/They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one/So light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up)."

Furthermore, "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" suggests a deep ambivalence about her relationship with him. Harris reportedly gifted her a locket during their relationship. Swift alludes to it in her lyrics.

"I could've spent forever with your hands in my pockets
Picture of your face in an invisible locket
You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it
I had a bad feeling."

The lyrics to "Gorgeous"also may refer to Harris and "Getaway Car"may be about her breakup with him.
