On the track, which dropped on Friday, April 19, when Swift’s 11th studio album arrived, the hitmaker teases a former flame about his love for vintage typewriters and likening himself to legendary poets.

The Grammy-nominated musician has even covered Swift at his concerts. At a 2021 cover in which he played her breakout song “Teardrops on My Guitar,” he said, “This is why she’s such a genius, man. These are the chord changes. It’s wonderful. I think it’s wonderful.”
The two stars also had a sweet interaction on TikTok when the “Cruel Summer” singer joined the platform in 2021. After Puth welcomed his “fellow Sag,” she replied, “I’ve lurked your account for ages! Thanks for the welcome, piano prince 👑.”

The 1975 frontman Matty Healy — Swift’s ex who fans have speculated much of The Tortured Poets Department is about — has also shared his love for Puth in the past.
