"Don't Blame Me" seems to be a tongue-in-cheek love song about Alwyn. Even though she admits she's been "breakin' hearts a long time, and toyin' with them older guys," she adds that something "happened for the first time" in "their darkest little paradise." Shortly after her publicised romances with Harris and Hiddleston ended and her "Reputation" came crumbling down, Swift ran away with Alwyn to stay out of the public eye. Unlike her past romances, Swift seems to hint that this one is the real deal. She also sings, "My name is whatever you decide," which she also alludes to in "Call It What You Want."
