Taylor Swift Drops 'Murder Mashup' Just Days After Joe Alwyn Opens Up About Their Breakup
Taylor Swift debuted a "murder mashup" performance at the Liverpool stop of her "The Eras Tour" at Anfield Stadium.
On Saturday, the "1989" hitmaker introduced a mashup of her 2022 song "Carolina" and her 2020 track "No Body No Crime" for the acoustic set of her concert, saying, "This one, I'm gonna call this the 'murder mashup.'"
Like how Taylor coined the mashup, the two songs are about murder. "No Body No Crime" is about a woman who kills her cheating spouse while "Carolina" was featured in the murder mystery film "Where The Crawdad Sings," which follows the story of a woman who killed her former lover.

Given the timing of the multi-Grammy-awarded singer's debut of her "murder mashup," fans could not help but link it to her ex-lover Joe Alwyn's statement about their breakup.
"OK, you have to give it to Taylor. A murder mashup right before she heads to London is hysterical," tweeted one Swiftie, referencing the birthplace of Alwyn.
"Murder mashup after all this J in the media discourse. With the lyric, I think he did it but I just can't prove it over and over. I mean maybe not related, but funny anyway," opined another.
"Suspicious. What do you think she wants to tell us?" wondered another fan.
"Look how proud she is about the fact she murdered a man. Take your crown, queen," quipped someone else.

"He pissed her off," claimed a different commenter.
"And suddenly the murder mashup makes sense now. Good for her," said another social media user.
Meanwhile, a different user commented, "This seems like a 'murder mash-up' party that [she] and Travis put together after watching 'Law and Order' together one night."
"She was just in character for the spookish songs," wrote another person.
Before this acoustic set debut, Alwyn broke his silence on their April 2023 breakup and seemingly debunked the misconceptions about his split from the songstress.
"I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years," he told The Sunday Times.
"That is a hard thing to navigate. What is unusual and abnormal in this situation is that, one week later, it's suddenly in the public domain and the outside world is able to weigh in."
