What does April 29 mean?

The trend features users posting short video recordings of themselves with the caption "Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th," which is borrowed from Taylor Swift's new album, 'Midnights'. The trend is simple. TikTok users create a short video of themselves singing along to the lyric before adding a photo or clip of where they were either on April 29, 2023 or an April 29 from the past.

But what exactly does it mean?

As the trend began with a Taylor Swift song, many users are curious as to where the singer was on April 29. Some fans believe that this is the date Taylor met her most recent ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

The former couple met at Gigi Hadid's 21st birthday party which occurred on April 28, 2016. The celebration was held on April 28th, but it is thought to have lasted until the early hours of April 29th. Taylor Swift was in a relationship with Calvin Harris at the time. On June 1, 2016, they announced their separation. Joe Alwyn and Taylor began dating in late 2016, following a brief relationship with Tom Hiddleston. After six years together, Swift and Alwyn split up in April 2023.
