Here Are All The 'Evermore' Songs Joe Alwyn Helped Taylor Swift Write

Taylor Swift surprised us all when she dropped her ninth studio album, evermore, on Friday (December 11) only a day after springing the release on us.

Even more surprising, her trusty collaborator, 'William Bowery' — aka boyfriend Joe Alwyn — has helped write not just one song, but THREE on the new album and even plays piano — MY HEART!

If you remember on folklore, the elusive 'William Bowery' had been credited on both “Betty” and “Exile” and during her Disney+ Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions special, Swift confirmed our suspicions that Bowery was her boyfriend's pen name.

“There’s been a lot of discussion about William Bowery and his identity ’cause it’s not a real person,” she said. “So, William Bowery is Joe, as we know. And Joe plays the piano beautifully, and he’s just always playing and making things up and kind of creating things."

On evermore, Swift and Alwyn joined forces again (talk about a power couple) for “champagne problems” — about a woman shocking her family when she turns down a proposal.

Alwyn also lends his creativity to the title track, “evermore” — which sees the protagonist of the song feeling trapped in depression to escape that sense of anxiety. Fans can also hear Alwyn's incredible piano skills on the title track. 

Lastly, Alwyn helped write “coney island” where you'll hear some familiar lyrics that relate to previous songs Swift has written as well as some of her other relationships.

For starters, in the second verse, we get the lyrics “Do you miss the rogue / Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there” which alludes to her relationship with Tom Hiddleston.

The lyrics, “Did I leave you hanging every single day? / Were you standing in the hallway / With a big cake, happy birthday” is a parallel to “The Moment I Knew” and nods to Jake Gyllenhaal.

Then she sings, “Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?” which takes us all the way back to 2010 and her song “Dear John” about John Mayer.

Next up, “And when I got into the accident / The sight that flashed before me was your face” refers to 1989's “Out Of The Woods” and the infamous accident she got into with Harry Styles.

Lastly, “But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name” doesn't mirror any lyrics but an event: Calvin Harris didn't thank Swift after winning an award when she had previously thanked him at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
