Formula One fans claim Taylor Swift took a jab at driver Fernando Alonso in her new album 'The Tortured Poets Department' after the duo's rumored romance last year. 

Before Swift was wrapped in Travis Kelce's arms, she was rumored to be dating Alonso, the 42-year-old who drives for Aston Martin in Formula One. 

The double album, which was released Friday at midnight features the song 'imgonnagetyouback'.  

In the track, Swift sings about an Aston Martin falling in a ditch. 

Swift's musical catalog is full of songs about current and former flings, such as Harry Styles and Joe Jonas. Now, Alonso could be in the 14-time Grammy Award winner's crosshairs.

'Small talk, big walk, act like I don't care what you did I'm an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the ditch,' Swift sings. 

'Then ran and hid. And I'll tell you one thing, honey. I can take the upper hand and touch your body,' Swift continued. 'Flip the script and leave you like a dumb house party Or I might just love you 'til the end (Ah-ah-ah).' 

Swift nor the 42-year-old Alonso confirmed their romance, but internet rumors have taken a life of their own, especially since 'The Tortured Poets Department' was released. 

'Wait..... did they actually date then?' one Formula One fan said online. 

'Taylonso will never die,' another racing fan stated. 

'Shading Fernando Alonso like that is crazy your relationship was not that long dramatic girl,' wrote another.

'FERNANDO ALONSO WHAT DID YOU DO TO TAYLOR SWIFT', commented another. 

Swift and Kelce have been publicly dating since last September, when she attended a Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears.

And the penultimate song of her new album appears to contain multiple references to football and the three-time Super Bowl winner.

'The Alchemy', the 15th song on 'The Tortured Poets Department' went viral in the minutes following the album's midnight release. The bridge of the song is where the references to Kelce are the most obvious.

'Cheers chanting 'cause they said / There was no chance / Trying to be the greatest in the league / Where's the trophy?/ He just comes running over to me,' she sings.

Then the chorus kicks in: 'Touch down / Call the amateurs and cut them from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown, baby I'm the one to beat / 'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me / Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?'

Other parts of the song refer to 'blokes warm[ing] the benches'.
