"Paper Rings"

This song was Swift's sweet way of telling Alwyn she wanted to commit to him longterm as she sings, "I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings." She even makes reference to some of their personal relationship moments, like when they painted his brother's room blue together. Swift also admits that after they first met, she "went home and tried to stalk you on the internet," a reference both to Alwyn's fame and the fact that he's pretty private and hard to get info on. She also calls him "baby boy," another reference to his boyish charm. Combined with "Lover," these two songs had fans convinced the couple were engaged or even secretly married, though neither ever confirmed the speculation.
