Taylor's Ex Files: As Swift releases her latest heartache record, MailOnline ... trends now

Taylor Swift's music has become synonymous with tales of ex-boyfriends, lost love and bitter backlash in the wake of her high-profile romances.

And with a discography spanning 11 albums and a string of 14 famous boyfriends, the songstress, 34, has made sure all her relationships are heavily featured. 

In the early hours of Friday morning, Taylor released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, with fans noting the digs at her exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy and also a tribute to her current love Travis Kelce

In the past meanwhile, stars including Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas and John Mayer have been the subject of Taylor's lyrical wrath. 

So who has been subject to Taylor's lyrics on which albums and when?

Jordan Alford 

SONG: Picture To Burn

LYRICS: 'I hate that stupid old pick-up truck you never let me drive/You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying / There's no time for tears / I'm just sitting here planning my revenge / There's nothing stopping me

'From going out with all of your best friends / And if you come around saying sorry to me / My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be'. 

The first target of Taylor's musical chagrin came when she penned a track about her high school boyfriend Jordan Alford, whom she accused of cheating.

Following the release of the song, it was revealed that the subject of the cheating allegations was Taylor's former friend and Jodan's now wife Chelsea. 

Speaking to Daily Mail at the time, Chelsea said: 'We just thought it was funny. [Jordan] was like, 'I'm not a redneck! She makes me look like some redneck!' But other than that, we just thought it was kind of funny.'

Drew Hardwick

SONG: Teardrops On My Guitar 

LYRICS'Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see/That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be/I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about/And she's got everything that I have to live without'

While Taylor did not date Drew Hardwick, she made her feelings for the fellow musician as she sang about his feelings for other women. 

Her crush was made clear when the song came out, and while he was oblivious to the crush initially he attempted to reach out to Taylor. 

After he turned up at her house two years later, she divulged: 'I have theories about what he was doing. He had his friend with him, so maybe he was trying to prove to people that the song really is about him or whatever...

'Or maybe he was really trying to be friends. Or maybe he thought I was still pining away from him. Whatever!'

Drew later hit headlines in 2015, when he was arrested and charged with child abuse after being accused of hitting two girls aged three and five.

Christopher and his wife Joni Hardwick were also arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct, as well as simple assault and resisting arrest charges, respectively. Those charges were not related to the assault of the children, but to confrontations with police officers.

Stephen Barker Liles

SONG: Hey Stephen 

LYRICS: 'Hey Stephen, I could give you 50 reasons/ Why I should be the one you choose/ All those other girls, well they're beautiful/ But would they write a song for you?'

Stephen and Taylor did not officially date, however the star of Love And Theft - his group that supported Taylor on her 2008 tour - revealed they shared a crush. 

While there was no heartache between the pair, he confessed when she revealed she penned a song in his honour he grew fearful of the content, given her less than favourable penmanship of men in her past music. 

He said: 'I hadn't heard it yet, so she told me about the song. But she didn't say, like, 'I wrote a nice song about you,' so I'm just thinking, 'What did I do?'...

'Because she doesn't really write very many nice songs about guys. So I was very relieved when it turned out to be a nice song, and it's actually one of the nicest things anybody's ever done for me.'

Joe Jonas

SONG: Forever And Always 

LYRICS: 'Was I out of line?/ Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide/ Like a scared little boy/ I looked into your eyes/ Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure.'

Joe marked Taylor's first celebrity romance - with the high-profile pair dating from July 2008 to October 2008, making for a swift romance. 

She branded the relationship 'an ouch' and made Forever And Always a last minute addition to her Fearless album to take aim at The Jonas Brothers star. 

The star later said of the track: '[It's] a song about watching somebody completely fade away in a relationship and wondering what you did wrong. It's been tough. You just have to try to realize someday you'll find someone that's right for you.'

She then told Ellen DeGeneres that Joe broke up with her in a 25 second call. 

Joe said: ' Some day, I'm gonna find somebody really, really, really great, who's right for me. When I find that person that is right for me, he'll be wonderful...

'When I look at that person, I'm not even gonna be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.'

Cory Monteith

SONG: Mine

LYRICS: 'Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?/You put your arm around me for the first time/You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter/You are the best thing that's ever been mine'.

Taylor never confirmed her relationship with the late Glee star in 2010, remaining coy over their love and affection for one another. 

When  asked about the song Mine, she confessed to seeing 'an entire relationship flash before her eyes' in a nod to her potential union with Cory. 

He went on to date co-star Lea Michele. In 2013, he tragically passed away aged 31 from 'a mixed drug toxicity' consisting of heroin and alcohol.

Joe Jonas

SONG: Better Than Revenge
