Meanwhile, the fan theory which states her new song Dress is about Ed Sheeran has been shot down by the English songwriter himself.

Listeners believe the lyric ‘I don’t want you like a best friend’ is in regards to Ed who is a close acquaintance to Taylor.

She also croons the phrase ‘shape of you’ which happens to be the title of a recent pop hit for Ed.

However, another line disproves the theory as Ed discussed in an interview for an Augustman live stream.

‘I don’t think it is. I think if you read into it…it’s not… You know, because she mentions someone with a buzz-cut haircut, and I’ve never had a buzz-cut haircut,’ he said.

The fan speculations may have helped boost sales of Reputation as it has sold over 1 million copies in just four days.
