Is it a catchy combination or a subtle sign that Joe Alwyn cheated? Depending on which Taylor Swift fan you ask, it could be either.
Fans of the pop star are now convinced the actor was unfaithful after they claimed to have discovered a secret message about their breakup at his recent performance.
Taylor recently performed a three-song mashup from Fearless (Taylor’s version) during her show on February 17 in Melbourne, Australia, leaving Swifties excited about its potential meaning.
The 34-year-old hitmaker sang Getaway Car, August and The Other Side of the Door in the acoustic set, but some insightful Swifties believe there may be hidden meaning to her choice of songs.

Taylor and Joe publicly announced their separation in April 2023, after six years together. The couple photographed in April 2019.
“So Getaway Car is from the perspective of the cheater, August is from the perspective of the other woman, and The Other Side of the Door is from the perspective of the woman who was cheated on,” one social media user theorized about X, previously known as Twitter, after seeing the song schedule.
Rumors about Joe, 33, allegedly cheating on his ex-girlfriend first surfaced in April 2023 after the couple split after six years together.
Just weeks after they broke up, Joe’s co-star Emma Laird uploaded a photo of him to her Instagram account, accelerating rumors that he may have already moved on with the actress.
Some even hypothesized that Emma, 25, uploading a photo of the Bowery Hotel was an indication that she was now dating the actor, who wrote under the pseudonym William Bowery on several of Taylor’s albums.
Many fans are convinced that the singer was dropping hints confirming this was the case with her touching song choices during the Eras tour concert.
“Taylor Swift played Getaway Car x August x The Other Side of the Door and This Is Me Trying so I blocked Joe Alwyn,” declared one fan.
‘Getaway car, August AND TOSOTD?!?!? Sorry… GETAWAY CAR, with AUGUST? and ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR???????’ another fan wrote.
‘A mix of GETAWAY CAR, AUGUST, TOSOTD?????? as ???? Does everyone understand?!? the implications??? the bridges that these songs have??? (sic)’, they exclaimed.
‘[Twitter] finds out that Joe supposedly cheated and then Taylor Swift sings three songs about cheaters and then AM I TRYING? Someone dig a grave for that man,” another agreed.

Someone else shared specific lyrics from each song, suggesting that they correlate to their failed relationship.
“I’ll leave it here,” they wrote, with screenshots of the lyrics.
In Getaway Car, Taylor sings, “But with the three of us, baby, it’s a sideshow.”
The next song in the mashup was The Other Side of the Door, where he sings: “And I burst into tears, was this mess worth it?”, before reaching August, with the pop star crooning: “Because you were never mine” .
Others weren’t sure if their song choice needed to be so scrutinized.
“Like I know there are signs directly from Taylor, but my brain can’t process that this Victorian British girl could have had the audacity and courage to cheat on Taylor Swift,” one fan noted.
Some fans also believe the singer’s sultry black-and-white album cover of a bed for her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, is a nod to Emma Laird’s Instagram photo on the Bowery.
Many Swifties also think that several songs on the artist’s new album will be about the romantic breakup between her and Joe.
Neither Joe nor Emma have ever confirmed a relationship between them.
