Someone has saved Taylor Swift time by writing her break-up song with Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift has made a nice living by writing songs about men she dated and dumped (or been dumped by) There are at least thirty identified by fans:

  1. Getaway Car (Tom Hiddleston, 2016)
  2. Dress (Joe Alwyn, 2016)
  3. Out of the Woods (Harry Styles; they dated in 2012-13)
  4. Style (Harry Styles again)
  5. Clean (Styles)
  6. I Know Places (Styles one more time)
  7. Begin Again (Conor Kennedy, song of Robert F. Kennedy; brief period of dating in 2012)
  8. All Too Well (Jake Gyllenhaal, dated her briefly in 2010)
  9. We are Never Ever Getting Back Together (probably Jake Gyllenhaal again)
  10. I Bet You Think About Me (more Gyllenhaal )
  11. I Almost Do (Gyllenhaal)
  12. The Moment I Knew (Gyllenhaal
  13. I Knew You Were Trouble (either Styles or Gyllenhaal or both)
  14. The Last Time (Let’s go with Gyllenhaal)
  15. State of Grace (Gyllenhaal)
  16. Mine (Cory Monteith, who dated her for a few weeks in 2010)
  17. Dear John (gotta be John Mayer; 2009-10)
  18. The Story of Us (more Mayer)
  19. Ours (still more Mayer)
  20. Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve (Let’s go with Mayer again)
  21. Back to December (Taylor Lautner, 2009-ish)
  22. Holy Ground (probably Joe Jonas, three months in 2008)
  23. Stephen Barker Lilies (a member of the band Love and Theft c.2008. No dating but lots of flirting on both sides)
  24. Forever & Always (more Joe Jonas. Probably)
  25. Last Kiss (Jonas again)
  26. Better Than Revenge (poor Jonas)
  27. Picture to Burn (Jordan Alford, a high school boyfriend)
  28. Our Song (Brandon Bordello, another high school boyfriend)
  29. Tim McGraw (nope, not him. Another song about Brandon)
  30. Should’ve Said No (Sam Armstrong, another high school crush)

So now that she’s allegedly dating Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, it’s a fair bet that he, too, will one day be the subject of a break-up song in the not-too-distance future. Things are still rosy between the two, but it won’t be long. So to save Taylor the effect, someone programmed an AI song to write one now.

AI: Such a timesaver, huh?
