"Am Aston Martin"

Swift: song about affair with Formula 1 star Alonso

So the rumors were true after all ... In her new album "The Tortured Poets Department", Taylor Swift sings about a series of ex-lovers. A song entitled "I'm Gonna Get You Back" seems to confirm a brief romance with Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso.

When rumors surfaced last year that something was going on between the singer and the Spaniard - both sides refused to comment.

But now the 42-year-old racing driver, who drives for Aston Martin, is apparently getting his comeuppance.

I'm an Aston Martin that you drove straight into the ditch.

Swift sings in her song: "Small talk, came along big and acted like you didn't care what you did. I'm an Aston Martin that you drove right into the ditch."

"Stupid house party"
She then seemingly accuses the two-time world champion of running away and hiding: "I'll tell you one thing, honey, I can get the upper hand and touch your body. Turn the story on its head and just leave you like a stupid house party."

One Formula 1 fan was stunned: "Wait a minute ... so they really were hooking up."

"Taylonso will never die"
A second joked: "Taylonso will never die!" Fans from both camps argued passionately on social media.

One female Alonso fan raged: "Bashing Fernando like that is really crazy. Your relationship didn't last long, you drama girl!" To which one Swifty shot back: "Fernando Alonso: What did you do to Taylor Swift?"

Alonso reacts on TikTok
Alonso doesn't seem to be angry with Swift and responded with a video that he posted on Aston Martin's official TikTok channel.

In the clip, he listens to the song and puts his fingers to his lips, gesturing for people to keep quiet.
