Taylor Swift has reportedly revealed details about her very private relationship with British actor and longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn in her new track 'The Lakes'.

In the song,  the 'Folklore' singer appears to be opening up about her personal life for the first time, releasing the lyric video for 'The Lakes, a bonus track on her latest studio album. 

Due to all of the songs about heartbreak on the album, some fans wondered if there was trouble between herself and her longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn. However, the new song seems to make several sweet references to the actor.

The songstress,  in 'The Lakes', sings: "Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die / I don’t belong and, my beloved, neither do you / Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry / I’m setting off, but not without my muse." 

According to some fans, the “Windermere” line from the song seemingly references England’s largest natural lake. They think that the couple has spent a lot of time together in England, it seems like a reference to their time in the country.

Taylor also sings: "And I want you right here / A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground / With no one around to tweet it / While I bathe in cliffside pools / With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief," which seemingly represents how she’s kept their relationship more private.

She also addresses her time in the spotlight: "Is it romantic how all of my elegies eulogize me? / I’m not cut out for all these cynical clones / These hunters with cell phones."
