Alix Earle sobs over Taylor Swift song after seeing ex Braxton Berrios for first time since their breakup

Alix Earle is still feeling super emotional about her split from Braxton Berrios.

The influencer, 25, posted a TikTok of herself sobbing in reaction to a fan’s comment about her video last week, in which she spoke about seeing Berrios for the first time since their breakup last year.

In Earle’s original video, posted on Feb. 25, she admitted it was “really hard” and “really weird” to see Berrios again at an event.

“I was really emotional the first night,” she shared. “We were, like, in the same place, but we didn’t say ‘hi’ to each other, just ’cause I didn’t want to, like, go up and annoy him, I don’t know.”

She said they eventually “briefly” greeted one another on the second night of the event.

“It’s weird when you go from someone being, like, your best friend to being a stranger in the corner of the room,” she shared. “So that was tough — and by tough I mean, terrible.”

A fan commented on her video, “You just described the lyrics of New Years Day 🥹 😭,” referring to Taylor Swift’s 2017 song from her album “Reputation.”

Lyrics from the Jack Antonoff-produced track include, “Please don’t ever become a stranger / Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere.”

Earle uncontrollably sobbed to the comment in her reaction video, shared Sunday via TikTok.

“I didn’t know that song and then I just looked it up and guys, what the H?” she said through tears. “I’m literally purple from crying. I look like Barney.”

The text over the video read, “‘Alix Earle hasn’t been posting much.’ Probably bc this is me spiraling every night.”

People reported that Earle and Berrios, 30, both attended the Palm Tree Music Festival in Aspen, Colo. last month, specifically, the Palm Tree Pre-Party at Kemo Sabe hosted by SipMARGS. The exes are both investors in the beverage brand.

Despite Earle’s lingering sadness over her split from Braxton after two years of dating, she’s been spotted having flirty interactions with Tom Brady.

Brady, 48, and Earle first sparked romance rumors over the New Year’s holiday, when they both rang in 2026 in St. Barts. At the time, spies told Page Six that the two were at the same yacht party and hit it off, spending “a lot of the night” talking.

Brady was then filmed wrapping his arm around Earle before grabbing her butt at a private Super Bowl party. Sources recently told Page Six that Brady and Earle are both having “fun” amid their budding, albeit “not-that-serious,” fling.

Sources noted that the retired football star is a “very particular” and intentional “perfectionist” who “doesn’t hook up with just anyone,” implying that Earle is more than just a random hookup to the sports icon.
