Taylor Swift fans are convinced she has ‘edited out’ her ex-boyfriend from a new video because of her current boyfriend Travis Kelce.
‘Swifties’ came up with the theory when Swift surprised fans by releasing behind-the-scenes footage from the 2022 set of her Bejeweled music video on her YouTube channel in honour of her 35th birthday.
In the clip, she flashes her iPhone lock screen, revealing a photo of herself with then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
However, eagled-fan fans noticed that her lock screen had been blurred out in the footage after rewatching the moment.
People online believe she’s retroactively edited the video to erase evidence of her previous romance.
“Blurred that shot of the vid,” speculated one fan, while another wrote: “Busted.”
Swift and Alwyn, who starred in Kinds of Kindness and The Brutalist, dated for six years before going their separate ways in early 2023.
The couple had a very private relationship, and she only provided an insight through her song lyrics.

Alwyn gave an interview with The Times following his split with Swift in an unprecedented move.
“I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathise and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years,” he said.
The English actor explained it was a ‘hard thing to navigate’ as he watched strangers ‘weigh in’ on the break-up.
“So you have something very real suddenly thrown into a very unreal space: tabloids, social media, press, where it is then dissected, speculated on, pulled out of shape beyond recognition,” he continued. “And the truth is, to that last point, there is always going to be a gap between what is known and what is said.”
He added: “I have made my peace with that.”
Following her split with Alwyn, she had a fling with The 1975 singer Matty Healy.
But they lasted just one before they broke up.
