Taylor Swift has left fans in a bittersweet situation in recent times. The singer has created a phenomenon with her large fanbase that supports her in her good and bad times. But even they are left pained with her personal loss despite the success of her latest album and tour. A lot of them looked up not just to her songs, but also to her long-term relationship with her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. The British actor with blonde hair had certainly won the heart of Swift and Swifties over the six years. And now after their rumored breakup, an album that is seemingly about the singer and the actor’s relationship is revisiting the charts.

ChartData posted on Twitter about her 2019 album ‘Lover’ re-entering iTunes top 10 charts in the USA. The album had already won several accolades, including Album of The Year by People’s Choice. But a couple of years after the original release, the album seems to have re-entered the top charts.

Taylor Swift is known for writing songs about the men she dates. But perhaps her 2019 album is set apart in the fact that she dedicated a whole album out of love for Joe Alwyn. With their relationship ending now, fans are bittersweet about ‘Lover’.

Swifties are wondering why exactly the album began trending again. It perhaps has to do with the news of her breakup with Alwyn, since the album showcased their love for each other.

Swifties are apparently mourning the breakup by listening to the songs repeatedly on i-Tunes.

The album that was supposed to be about a happy love story has turned into a depressing playlist for them now.
