"Don't know if it's real or if I'm spiraling," she sings on the track."One voice tells me that they laugh / George says I'm just paranoid." Even more telling is the lyric that comes later in the song:"Don't wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend's show / Fingers crossed behind my back / I hope they break up quick."

The duo go back even earlier than their days as The 1975 WAGs together. She made a special appearance on Swift's 1989 World Tour in 2014 before being tapped as an official opening act for the Reputation World Tour in 2018. "I'm really grateful that asked me on that tour. But as an artist, it kind of felt like I was getting up on stage and waving to 5-year-olds," she recounted.
