“Glitch” reflects on a relationship that was never meant to be. It started off through friendship, casually evolved into friendship with benefits, but somehow turned into a true romance, so unlikely that it must have been a glitch.

This is likely inspired by Taylor’s ex-relationship with Joe Alwyn, which, as documented through songs like “Cornelia Street” and “Cruel Summer”, started out as casual flirtation and friends with benefits before evolving into a serious relationship.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Glitch’ Lyrics Express Her Disbelief Over Her and Joe Alwyn’s 6-Year Relationship“It’s been 2,190 days of our love blackout / (Our love is blacking out) / The system’s breaking down.”

L y r i c s

[Verse 1]

We were supposed to be just friends

You don't live in my part of town, but maybe I'll see you out some weekend

Depending on what kind of mood and situationship I'm in

And what's in my system

[Chorus]

I think there's been a glitch, oh, yeah

Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch, oh, yeah

And I'm not even sorry, nights are so starry

Blood moonlit

It must be counterfeit

I think there's been a glitch, oh, yeah

[Verse 2]

I was supposed to sweat you out

In search of glorious happenings of happenstance on someone else's playground

But it's been two-thousand one-hundred ninety days of our love blackout

(Our love is blacking out)

The system's breaking down

(The system's breaking down)

[Chorus]

I think there's been a glitch, oh, yeah

Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch, oh, yeah

And I'm not even sorry, nights are so starry

Blood moonlit

It must be counterfeit

I think there's been a glitch

[Bridge]

A brief interruption, a slight malfunction

I'd go back to wanting dudes who give nothing

I thought we had no chance

And that's romance, let's dance

[Chorus]

Glitch, oh, yeah

Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch, oh, yeah

And I'm not even sorry, nights are so starry

Blood moonlit

It must be counterfeit (It must be counterfeit)

I think there's been a glitch
