“I’m the Aston Martin you drove into the ditch, then ran away”

Rome, 22 April 2024 – “I I am Aston Martin that you drove straight into the ditchthen you ran and hid”: words heavy as bullets, if said by ex. And when to say them, or rather to sing them taylor swift, the undisputed queen of showbiz in the world, to be kryptonite. Since in this case all the signs show Fernando Alonso, you immediately think that “you have misunderstood Ferrari for Twingo”, launched by Shakira against her ex-husband Piquè, in the first album after the separation.

The message, certainly not difficult to decipher, is on the latest album ‘Department of Persecuted Poets’recently released which has already exceeded all audio recordings: in the first day alone it was downloaded more than 200 million times on Spotify). The song is ‘imgonnagetyouback’ (‘I’ll take you back’): “Small talk, big love, acting like I don’t care what you did, I’m an Aston Martin that you drove straight into the ditch,” sings the 34-year-old American singer-songwriter. today happily she is engaged to Travis KelceAmerican football star and winner of the last Super Bowl.

A reference, clearly enough, will be Fernando Alonso: a year ago, there were many sound which they took for granted story between Taylor and the 42-year-old driver, after both broke up with previous partners. The rumor was never confirmed, and if anything, it certainly didn’t end well, given the dig launched by Swift. What goes, he said, in this album of pebbles from shoes against former lovers he has removed several, starting with British actor Joe Alwyn (who was involved for six years) and Matty Healy, the controversial leader of 1975.

What happened (or didn’t happen) between Taylor Swift and Alonso, the driver and Aston Martin (his current team) they wasted no time in replying… with silence and irony. In a video on TikTok, with a song playing in the background, Fernando looks at something on his tablet, makes a ‘quiet’ signbring your index finger towards your mouth and close the tablet.

And Aston Martin takes the opportunity to be mentioned by the queen of the charts by posting another video: the car accelerates and brakes when cornering, to the tune of “I’m the Aston Martin you pointed straight to the pit”. Because in the end, Oscar Wilde is always right: “For better or worse, as long as we’re talking about it.”
