Swifties have a lot of theories about who could be the subject of Taylor Swift’s song “Father Figure.”

The song — track 4 from Swift’s 12 studio album, The Life of Showgirl — discusses a relationship between a person and their mentor as they navigate their way through the industry. The track also includes an interpolation from George Michael’s song of the same name.

“When I found you / You were young / We were lost in the cold / Pulled up to you in the Jag,” Swift sings. “Turned your rags into gold / The winding road leads to the chateau / You remind me of a younger me / I saw potential.”

Upon the album’s Friday, October 3, release, some fans immediately theorized that Swift, 35, could be referencing Olivia Rodrigo in the track. Rodrigo, 22, previously shared how she looked up to Swift.
