A woman has claimed she busted her live-in partner for cheating on her with his ex simply by looking at his Spotify Wrapped line-up.
LA-based content creator Louisa Melcher took to TikTok to describe the moment she says she realized her partner had been unfaithful, recalling how the lightbulb realization came to her when she saw what his top song choice of the year was – and discovered with horror that it was one of his ex's favorite songs.
“I'm the girl who found out this year through his Spotify Wrapped that her boyfriend was cheating on her,” Louisa begins at the beginning of the video. “So I'm going to explain and we'll never talk about it again.”
Louisa then explained to her viewers the origins of the suspect song in question, revealing that when she and her boyfriend kissed for the first time, he put on an R&B song that she found “really weird and very esoteric.”
A woman allegedly caught her boyfriend cheating by simply checking his Spotify Wrapped
LA-based content creator Louisa Melcher posted a video in which she recalled looking through her boyfriend's playlist and being shocked when she discovered his top song
When she wondered why he chose that song, she said he told her his “ex always loved listening to it” – an admission she found incredibly strange.
“Why the hell would you say that to me?” she said of her reaction to the confession. “Like why? I don't want to know that about your previous relationship.'
But she says the couple “moved past that” and shrugged their shoulders by declaring it “wasn't a big deal.”
Fast forward several months and the pair are now living together, with Louisa explaining that she has become an expert on her boyfriend's music tastes – which helps her know when he's listening to a song he wouldn't normally enjoy.
'Now it's 18 months later and – for context – I live with my boyfriend, I know when he listens to music, he actually only listens to music at the gym, he listens to dubstep to run faster, I think ,' she said.
So when Louisa discovered that his ex's favorite song was at the top of his Spotify Wrapped, she was a little surprised – and quickly started to get suspicious.
“So, either we've been thinking about the ex a lot, or maybe we're playing it every time we come into contact with the ex, which, based on the fact that it's his top song, seems to be quite a lot,” she says. went on.
Louisa said she eventually decided to ask her boyfriend outright if he had been seeing his ex behind her back, revealing: 'So I accused him of the second one and it turned out to be true and we broke up and our relationship is over. '

Perhaps even more shocking, Louisa then subtly hinted that she was planning to marry her partner before discovering his alleged infidelity, writing in the video's caption: “If Spotify Wrapped had just gone down six days earlier, I'd have $15,000 can save on my down payment for the wedding venue.'

She started that segment by telling her followers, “Girl I wish it was fake.
'I really wish I wasn't stupid enough to book my entire wedding and pay for most of it in advance before proposing, but such is the life of a romantic.
“I was like, 'If you know, you know,' and I've been seeing all these videos on TikTok like, 'Nobody's going to be able to get married in 2025 because all the couples who met after the pandemic kept getting engaged now and they are getting married in 2025.”
'So I thought, “I have to get ahead of this and actually I haven't even booked just the wedding venue.”
She informed her followers that she 'also booked the photographer, caterer and cake,” which totaled “approximately $25,000 in non-refundable deposits.”
Despite the turn of events, Louisa told her followers that she is 'not giving up'.

“This is going to sound crazy, but I think August 2025 is still a long way away, like I think I could meet the person I'm supposed to be with in February or March of this year and then it would be completely reasonable to to get married that time.
“It just means I really have to put my foot down when it comes to dating, so I'm going to do fifty first dates in fifty days.”
She invited her viewers to follow her dating journey as she rejoins the dating apps.
Louisa also said she was open to “any advice on meeting people in person.”
“I'm just going to find my man and if I meet him on date 13, obviously I'm not going to go on all 50, but people are also really worried about 'am I over my ex' and I'm just a of those people of whom it says: 'If you prove me wrong, bye.
'Like there are no more tears to cry. You're nothing to me.'
She concluded her video by saying that she is “very excited to start this new chapter,” and that she hopes she can “get married in August 2025” because she doesn't want to go “complex broke.”
