The internet is going crazy over Taylor Swift’s double-album release Friday morning, and the singer herself appeared to get in on the action, liking an Instagram post that ranked many of her ex-boyfriends.
The post, a carousel of memes from the gossip account Betches, included a photo from former Lifetime reality show “Dance Moms” with coach Abby Lee Miller showing off her notorious pyramid ranking system.
In Betches’ Photoshopped version of the image, exes Calvin Harris, Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal and Matt Healy are the four names listed on the bottom of the pyramid. Taylor Lautner, Tom Hiddleston and Harry Styles sit in the middle, while Swift’s current beau, Travis Kelce, of course takes the top spot.
Another meme in the carousel shows Joe Alwyn’s face Photoshopped onto a scene from “The Hunger Games.” The caption reads, “Every time we get a new lyric, The Hunger Games cannon goes off” — implying Alwyn is being killed by Swift’s recently released lyrics, many of which are believed to be about the demise of their six-year relationship.
“I CANT BELIEVE TAYLOR LIKED THIS… SHE IS COMING FOR JOE,” one user commented on the post.
“Taylor liking this is crazy,” said another, with someone else replying, “She’s so unhinged it’s wild.”
In the wake of fan reactions, Swift deleted her like on the Instagram post, though it’s possible she didn’t even see the shady memes in the slideshow to begin with.
The first image featured is a screenshot from the Betches X account, which simply speaks of “decoding” Swift’s Easter eggs. The photos ranking her exes and taking a swing at Alwyn don’t come until the end of the carousel.
What’s more, in a message on Instagram following her album’s release, Swift urged fans against attacking Alwyn or any of her other exes on her behalf — because she has moved on.
“This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up,” she wrote. “There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted.”
