Joe Alwyn broke his silence regarding his breakup with Taylor Swift more than a year after they parted ways, and many fans pointed out that the pop star might have shaded her ex-boyfriend during her Eras Tour show in Liverpool.

The musician debuted the "Carolina" and "No Body No Crime" mashup during the acoustic part of her concert at the Anfield Stadium.

"This one, I'm gonna call this the 'murder mashup,'" she said before the crowd screamed.

Many fans took to social media to share their speculation as the song "No Body No Crime" from Evermore revolves around a woman murdering her husband who cheated on her. On the other hand, "Carolina," a song from the movie Where the Crawdads Sing, is about a woman suspected of killing her ex-boyfriend.

"Her husband's acting different and it smells like infidelity / They think she did it but they just can't prove it / She thinks I did it but she just can't prove it / No, no body, no crime," the pop star sang on the first track.

"And suddenly the murder mashup makes sense now. Good for her," one wrote on social media, with one adding that Swift singing the tracks before performing in London is "hysterical" because her ex-boyfriend was born in the United Kingdom.

As of this writing, the singer has not explicitly revealed whether the tracks were dedicated to Alwyn.

In other reports, the pop star fought back tears during Saturday's show as she could be seen emotional while performing "Champagne Problems."

The recent news comes after Joe Alwyn broke his silence in an interview with the Times, in which he opened up about his breakup with the pop star.

"I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathise and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years," he said.

He noted that it was difficult to navigate and found it "unusual and abnormal" that the outside world shared their opinion about their romance just a week after they broke up.

The actor continued that their breakup was suddenly thrown into "unreal space" such as social media, the press, and tabloids, where many people speculated.

"And the truth is, to that last point, there is always going to be a gap between what is known and what is said. I have made my peace with that," he added.
