00:08 - Taylor Swift celebrates the streaming release
00:10 of her "Midnight's Vault" track, "You're Losing Me."
00:13 - I would always like to keep people on their toes
00:16 in that regard.
00:17 I think that's the best way to be exciting.
00:20 - And with the drop of the breakup ballad
00:22 comes a major bombshell.
00:24 Fans are convinced the singer's co-producer,
00:27 Jack Antonoff, may have just exposed a key moment
00:31 in Tay's past relationship.
00:33 - Is this from the vault
00:34 or did she write this after the breakup?
00:35 When was this written?
00:36 Oh my God.
00:37 - Yeah, TikToker Elise Myers was one of the many Swifties
00:40 questioning when Tay wrote the sad song.
00:43 - I just wanna cry.
00:44 When was this written?
00:46 When was "You're Losing Me" written?
00:49 Reddit, origin of "You're Losing Me."
00:51 So "Midnight's" was a breakup album.
00:53 - Well, ask and you shall maybe get a hint,
00:57 thanks to Jack.
00:58 ♪ And I wouldn't marry me either ♪
01:00 ♪ A pathological people pleaser ♪

01:06 - The Grammy winner originally released
01:08 the "Midnight's" bonus track in May
01:09 as a digital release via her web store.
01:12 One month after news broke, she and Joe called it quits.
01:16 But Jack reveals the song was actually written
01:20 long before that.
01:21 On Wednesday, the musician posted this pic
01:24 of Taylor in the kitchen and wrote,
01:26 "Written and recorded at home on December 5th, 2021
01:30 "after Taylor ate these raisins."
01:33 Which has Swifties asking,
01:34 "Did Taylor and Joe have trouble nearly two years ago?"

01:52 - I think you definitely, as a songwriter,
01:54 there are times when you are working harder
01:56 to find the inspiration.
01:57 And then there are those random instances
01:59 where it lands in front of your face
02:01 and all you have to do is grab it.
02:03 - Seems the Swifties are always on the nose
02:06 when it comes to Taylor's love life.
02:08 In March, fans believed she hinted at the split
02:11 on her "Heiress" tour set list by switching it up
02:14 during her show in Arlington, Texas.
02:16 - When I craft a song and think about every aspect of it
02:19 and it comes together and then it goes out into the world,
02:21 there are so many moving pieces.
02:22 - Instead of performing "Invisible String,"
02:25 which is thought to be a love song
02:27 about her relationship with Joe.
02:28 ♪ All along there was some ♪
02:32 ♪ Invisible string ♪
02:35 ♪ Tying you to me ♪
02:38 - She played "The One," another breakup ballad.
02:45 ♪ I guess you never know, never know ♪
02:48 ♪ And if you wanted me, you really should've shown ♪
02:51 ♪ And if you never keep, you're never gonna grow ♪
02:54 ♪ It's all right now ♪
02:58 - Both songs are off her 2020 album "Folklore,"
03:01 where Taylor and Joe famously collaborated
03:03 under the actor's pseudonym, William Bowery.
03:06 - So William Bowery is Joe, as we know.
03:09 And Joe plays piano beautifully
03:12 and he's always just playing and making things up.
03:16 - I think the reason why we turned to music
03:18 is because we can somehow apply that song
03:22 to what we're going through in our life.
03:24 And I just feel very honored to be that music
03:28 that some people turn to.
03:30 - No doubt Taylor will keep sharing her life
03:32 through her music amid all the highs and the lows.
