It’s a big day. Taylor Swift just released her heartbreaking new album and surprised fans by making it a whopping double release with 31 songs and more than two-hours of new music. Have you listened yet? If so, have you spotted the subtle Aston Martin reference that some fans think is a nod to Formula 1 racer Fernando Alonso?

The reference comes on “imgonnagetyouback” taken from Swift’s new release, “The Tortured Poets Department.” In it, many assume the American singer is coming to terms with an ended relationship, discussing the ways she’ll cope with heartbreak either by smashing up their bike or finding a way to win them back.

Fans of Swift and Formula 1 have, however, spotted an intriguing line in the song, in which the ‘New Romantics’ singer says “I’m an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the ditch then ran and hid.”

That could just be a metaphor for someone ruining something great that they once held dear, or it could be a subtle nod to Aston Martin Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso.
