Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn’s love story has ended as the couple has broken up after being together for six years. The fans are shocked by the news. The news of the split has come as the singer is traveling the country for her sold-out Eras tour, and Alwyn hasn’t been seen yet.
Swift was linked to Alwyn in May 2017 when it was found that the couple had been dating each other secretly. Although it cannot be said with surety when they met, fans think that the two met for the first time at the 2016 Met Gala. And even though both of them kept their relationship out of the spotlight mostly, Swift gave sneak peeks into the relationship occasionally with her music. Since Reputation was released in 2017, Swift has penned down numerous tracks about Alwyn ranging from flirty pop tracks to love ballads.
What caused the breakup?
A source has revealed that the main reason behind the couple breaking up was the differences in their personalities. They also reported that Swift and Alwyn’s relationship has hit rough patches before but always worked out things, spent some time apart, and then got back together. So, this time around too, friends believed that they will again get back together. However, they were not the right fit for each other.
The source also said that Joe had struggled while dealing with Taylor’s level of fame and the attention she got from the public. After years of spending together, the clear differences in their personalities have become harder to ignore. A few months ago, the couple had been talking about marriage.
Taylor’s breakup history became the inspiration for her music
It has been a while since Swift had a public breakup. Not since she broke up with Tom Hiddleston after dating her for a few months in 2016. If you come to think of it, Taylor Swift’s career is built mainly on breakup songs. As the singer got popular and rose to stardom, writing songs about her exes became her signature move. Swift is known for writing pointed lyrics about her ex-boyfriends. Her famous songs Dear John, I Knew You Were Trouble, and All Too Well are songs about her famous exes John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhall, and Harry Styles as per fans’ speculation and Swift also stimulated this behavior.
But they are still friends!
Before Joe Alwyn, the public had a common perception which Taylor also fought against and sometimes fought into that she was a serial dater. However, with Swift’s relationship with Alwyn, she was able to work on her public perception and rewrite her persona that she makes a romantic song for everything that happens in her life. As long as the couple was together, they valued privacy and stayed away from the spotlight. They also did not reveal much about their life together. At a point, rumors begin to circulate that they are secretly married.
Even though the couple is not together anymore, a source has revealed that Alwyn and Swift are still on friendly terms. They just grew apart, and she doesn’t have anything bad to say about Joe. Taylor is fully focused on her tour right now.
