Reputation songs

I knew some people discussed about some songs from Midnights being about healy, even folklore, but REP songs being about someone before?

I must admit... it was weird for me the "you and me we got big reputations " because Alwyn was pretty unknown before 2016, but I always assumed Taylor took some artistic liberties to make the song flow better. But I'm scared to ppst this on the main sub even tho im interested in people's opinions haha.

BTW: I'm usually against this 'dna testing' Taylor's songs and assigning them to a person and place, but I thought it was pretty agreeable that both Rep & Lover were about Alwyn. but I might be wrong. I'm also not a lyricist so I can't really speak from a place of knowledge.
