Taylor Swift's 'High Infidelity' Track Causes Fans To Become Armchair Detectives As Speculations Run Wild Online

Taylor Swift has a newly released album, called Midnights, that has caused some waves since it's release. One particular wave comes from the song "High Infidelity" off the extended 3AM version of the album, with lyrics that detail a cheating scandal.

Swift, widely known for writing and including songs that stem from real-world relationships and experiences, is believed by fans to be recounting a deeply personal moment in her life that involves cheating, though other details are unclear. Fans of hers have since quickly begun posting on social media about the track, asking questions of others about what the tea is.

Because of Swift's penchant for detailing previous relationships and experiences, people were quick to notice one important line in the refrain, "Do You really want to know where I was April 29th?," and try to find her connection to that date.

What they found out, curiously enough, is that the date lines up with the release of a Rihanna song, "This Is What You Came For," which was released on April 29th, 2016, and peculiarly was co-written by Swift and Calvin Harris (who was briefly entangled with Swift for a time), leading to fan speculation that this song is important to the lore of "High Infidelity."

This led to a lot of memes being made by the fanbase referring to Taylor Swift and April 29th, as well as memes about other lines in the song throughout the day as theories ran wild.

“Do you really want to know where I was April 29th? Do I have to tell you how he brought me back to life? Put on your records and regret me. I bent the truth too far tonight.” – Lyrics from High Infidelity #TSmidnighTS April 29, 2016 🤔 pic.twitter.com/8kBrYhilzU
