The 27-year-old's personal lyrics chart loves lost, growing up and feuds lasting years.

And her newest album, Reputation, is no exception, with fans speculating over various references to enemy Kanye West and rumoured British-beau Joe Alwyn.

However, this time around the Pennsylvania-born singer-songwriter has also released two zines to accompany the album, which are filled with handwritten lyrics, paintings and more.

One of the gems in the limited-edition magazines is a poem called 'Why She Disappeared'.

The title alludes to the time she spent away from the spotlight, prior to her return this August, and references a fall from grace, in addition to 'fair-weather friends' who did not stick around through the storm.

After being troubled about what people thought about her, '"Your kindness is fake."/"Your pain is manipulative" she thinks about 'revenge'.

But she eventually 'rose', avoiding 'old haunts' and 'waded out into the dark'.

Five stanzas in she references 'a love that was really something/ not just the idea of something.' Which must be Alwyn, right?

Now, instead of hearing negative voices , she hears 'new words/ "may your heart remain breakable / But never by the same hand twice' and closes the poem with the name of her album.
