Taylor Swift has this thing, don"t know if you knew about it, where she dates these famous men, and then after they break up, she writes these scandalous songs about them.
She even leaves little clues about the subjects of her songs in the liner notes of her albums, so not only does she trash these guys, she also makes it into a game we can all play together!
Many of her songs are about celebrities, guys like Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles, and John Mayer.
But which song matches which ex?!
Read on to find out!
1. "Should’ve Said No"
This song was on Taylor’s self-titled debut, back when she was dating fellow high school students instead of celebrities. It was written about her then-boyfriend, Sam Armstrong, who cheated on her.

This is about another high school boyfriend, Jordan Alford, who reportedly dumped Taylor for one of her best friends. Bad move, Jordan.

This is one of Taylor’s few happy love songs, and it’s about yet another high school boyfriend, Brandon Borello. Legend has it that she first performed this song at her school’s talent show.

This is another song about Brandon Borello, and it’s pretty bittersweet. Taylor and Brandon ended up breaking up after he went off to college, so when she sings lines like “He said the way my blue eyes shined ‘ Put those Georgia stars to shame that night / I said, ‘That’s a lie,"” you know she means it.

6. "Fifteen"
This is from Taylor’s second album, Fearless, but you’ll never believe who it’s about — yep, good ol’ Brandon Borello. What a heartbreaker he was, huh?
