It's now been almost a month since Taylor Swift dropped her double-album The Tortured Poets Department - but fans are far from slowing down their efforts to decode all of the song meanings.
While it has been surmised that many of them refer to Taylor's short lived romance with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy - it appears fans may have been too quick to attribute some tracks to him.
34-year-old Taylor has just resumed her Eras tour, and last night (9 May) saw her make a start on the European leg in Paris.

As Taylor made her way through her setlist, eventually she got to fan favourite 'But Daddy I Love Him'.
This is one of the songs thought to be about her tumultuous tryst with Matty.
It was thought to take aim at the fans who expressed distaste in her choice to be with the boyband singer and often made tweets that asked her to break up with him.
The lyrics include: "God save the most judgmental creeps / Who say they want what's best for me / Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see / Thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me."

Ouch.
While many were firmly in the 'this is about Matty' camp, some others expressed their belief that it actually touched upon her romance with current beau Travis Kelce.
This was spurred on by Taylor including the following: "Now I'm dancin' in my dress in the sun and / Even my daddy just loves him / I'm his lady / And, oh my God, you should see your faces / Time, doesn't it give some perspective? / And, no, you can't come to the wedding / I know it's crazy, but he's the one I want."

And it seems those who think it's about Travis - or Matty and Travis - were onto something.
During last night's show, Taylor mashed up 'But Daddy I Love Him' with the outro for 'So High School', a song firmly believed to be about Travis.
Taylor herself appeared to co-sign this reading, after the lyric video for 'So High School' appeared to highlight her initials alongside that of Travis'.
This easter egg can be spotted 45 seconds in.

She's such a romantic.
Following the mashup of 'But Daddy I Love Him' and 'So High School', social media has been lit up with fan reaction.
One person wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "Singing the travis verse from But Daddy I Love Him and following it up with So High School??????? SHE IS INSANE."

Another said: "the person who said but daddy i love him was about matty AND travis was actually correct."
A third chimed: "'BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM IS ABOUT TRAVIS' TRUTHERS RISE!"
Whether you're a Swiftie or not, you have to admit Taylor keeps her fans on their toes.
