One thing that immediately stands out about the album announcement is the title.
All of her previous album titles contain just one or two words.
Just based on the titles, though, a few things are already clear.

Taylor Swift’s 2019 album, “Lover,” has a song called “London Boy.”
The pop star was dating Joe Alwyn at this time, who lived in London.
This made it safe to assume that this song was about her then-boyfriend.
Swift is known for putting special importance on the fifth track on each of her albums.
Two other song titles stick out in the context of what we know about her relationship with Alwyn.
Over the years, Swift has been known to have high-profile romances and discuss them openly in her music.
Her six-year relationship with Alwyn, though, was much more private.
The album’s final song before the bonus track is titled “Clara Bow.”
