Taylor Swift Reveals a Chat With Friends About Being “Reached Out to by the New Girlfriend of an Ex” Inspired “Patient Zero”

Taylor Swift’s new song “Patient Zero” is already generating a lot of theories from Swifties, but one thing that’s clear? It’s told from the perspective of a person who’s been through it and is ready to give some advice. And by “it” I mean dating a toxic ex.Fans think the song is about Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner thanks to how much Taylor supported Sophie after her breakup with their mutual ex, but nothing’s been confirmed. Taylor did, however, tell Capital FM that she got the idea for the song while hanging with friends and discussing the experience of being “reached out to by the new girlfriend of an ex.”“The story behind me writing the song ‘Patient Zero’ is that I was hanging out with a bunch of friends, and one of my friends told us that she had been reached out to by the new girlfriend of an ex of hers, asking for guidance on if she had had the same experiences with this guy,” Taylor reportedly said. “Everyone in our group just immediately started saying like, ‘Oh, I've been through that too,’ and telling the stories of when this kind of reach out had happened for them.”She added, “And I thought to myself, if this has happened to all of us, it’s such an interesting kind of angle on humanity and on relationships, and I wonder if I could write something from the perspective of getting this phone call, and really only from the perspective and the side of the phone call of the ex who’s been through it before.”HER MIND!
