Taylor Swift Calls Herself 'Functioning Alcoholic' ... In New 'TTPD' Song
Taylor Swift suggests she had a problem with alcohol in one of her new songs -- even though, frankly, she's no stranger to booze right now ... hard to tell if she's serious or not.
The singer dropped her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," Friday, which details her breakups from Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. In the opening track "Fortnight," fans picked up on a lyric that paints her (or whoever she's singing as) as an alky during this time.
Taylor sings ... "I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me / I was a functioning alcoholic 'til nobody noticed my new aesthetic. All of this to say, I hope you're okay / But you're the reason / And no one here's to blame / But what about your quiet treason?"
