Taylor Swift dropped another surprise single over the weekend titled ‘Ready for it’ and fans are convinced that it’s a direct response to former flame Harry Styles‘s song ‘Two ghosts’.
Ever since her fierce return to the charts, Taylor has been throwing jabs at everyone who crossed her during her mini hiatus in the most Taylor way – through the music. Her innuendo filled video for comeback single ‘Look what you made me do’ had us all talking last week. And now, her latest release is the hot topic on everyone’s lips.

In the song, Taylor sings about a guy who is “younger than [her] exes but he act like such a man so” which to fans, is the first sign that she’s talking about Harry, who’s younger than all of her exes as well as her current boyfriend.
BUT IF HES A GHOST THEN I CAN BE A PHANTOM
WERE JUST TWO GHOSTS

The next clue is a bit more obvious. In fact, it’s a direct reference to Harry’s song ‘Two ghosts’ as the lyrics read: “Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted/But if he’s a ghost then I can be a phantom.”
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work that one out, does it? But the question is, will Harry respond?
Back in April, the ‘Sign of the times’ singer broke his silence about he and Taylor’s highly publicised 2012 fling in a cover interview with Rolling Stone.
This song is about @Harry_Styles? He is younger that her and all off her exes and they were on caribbean vacation…. #Readyforit pic.twitter.com/WUcsqKX6uE

Reflecting on the time he saw those paparazzi pictures of his date with the ‘Shake it off’ singer, the 23-year-old said: “You’re on a date with someone you really like. It should be that simple, right? It was a learning experience for sure. But at the heart of it – I just wanted it to be a normal date.”
