So long, London.

Taylor Swift “liked” an unofficial ranking of her exes and current boyfriend, Travis Kelce — and the bottom list is brutal.

The hilarious social media activity comes as Swift dropped her highly anticipated album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

Betches Media shared an Instagram carousel of images with a meme of “Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller holding up pieces of paper listing some of Swift’s famous exes.

As her current boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was at the top of the pyramid, Taylor Lautner, Harry Styles, Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal and Matty Healy followed.

Notably, Harris, Alwyn, Gyllenhaal and Healy were the four on the bottom.

Even more, Swift “liked” a “Hunger Games” meme that jokingly showed Alwyn as a dead tribute in the franchise.

“Every time we get a new lyric the hunger games cannon goes off,” the tweet that Betches Media shared read.

Swift actually collaborated with The Civil Wars for The Hunger Games’ “Safe & Sound” in 2012.

Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, meanwhile, began dating over the summer. More recently, she and Healy had a brief fling after her six-year relationship with Alwyn ended in 2023.

Naturally, Swifties were quick to decipher the musician’s many Easter eggs about her exes from the dozens of new songs she dropped. The British actor, in particular, appeared to have several scathing lyrics written about him.

In one obvious track, “So Long, London,” she sings about how she would “self implode.” The couple shared a home in London and she previously wrote the song “London Boy” about him on 2019’s “Lover” album.

“Every breath feels like the rarest air/When you’re not sure if he wants to be there,” she croons. “Holding tight to your quiet resentment/And my friends said it isn’t right to be scared/Every day of a love affair.”

“And you say I abandoned the ship/But I was going with it/My white knuckle dying grip.”

“But Daddy I Love Him” and “Down Bad” also have Swifties abuzz about a possible Alwyn connection.

But it’s “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” that appears to really refer to their split, which occurred before she kicked off her Eras Tour.

“Cause I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my s—t / They said, ‘Baby, gotta fake it till you make it,’ and I did / Lights, camera, bitch, smile, even when you wanna die / He said he’d love me all his life,” Swift sings.

She also noted she was “shattered while the crowd was chanting ‘more,'” at her performances at the time.

“The Tortured Poets Department” is Swift’s 11th studio album. She initially released 17 new tracks and then surprised fans with even more at 2 a.m. on Friday, making it a secret double album.
