It has been reported that American singer Taylor Swift has broken up with British actor Joe Alwyn, whom she had been dating for six years.
On the 8th (local time), American media outlets such as Entertainment Tonight and People magazine reported that Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn recently broke up. A source close to Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn confirmed their split.
Taylor Swift released her 10th studio album 'Midnights' last month. This album was created by remembering the many moments when I could not sleep in the middle of the night due to emotional pain or agony. While Taylor Swift is on tour to celebrate the release of her new album, a source said the breakup was the reason Joe Alwyn wasn't seen at any of her shows. However, there has been no official position from both sides.
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn, who met through American actress Emma Stone, began dating in late 2016, and began their public relationship in 2017. Joe Alwyn participated in Taylor Swift's album under the pseudonym William Bowery. Taylor Swift expressed her affection, saying, "Joe Alwyn is the first person to play all the songs I write, and we had the best time writing songs together while quarantined (due to the coronavirus pandemic)."
In an interview with the magazine British Vogue in 2018, Joe Alwyn was extremely reserved, saying, "I don't understand, but I understand the curiosity of people who are curious about my private life. However, I am not obligated to talk about my private life just because I am a public figure." In particular, there was talk that Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn got engaged last year. It is said that only a few people knew about the engagement of the two and that it was carried out in secret.
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have been reluctant to talk about their relationship. However, Taylor Swift received criticism last year when she was included in the list of 'celebrities with the worst private jet carbon emissions'. This list was published by British digital marketing company Yard, and was ranked by counting the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by celebrities' private jets.
Taylor Swift emitted 9,293 tons of carbon from January to July last year. His jet was in the air for 22,923 minutes over 15.9 days. Taylor Swift used a private jet to visit her boyfriend in England. It was also revealed that she had sent an empty private plane to bring her boyfriend. Regarding this, a Taylor Swift spokesperson said, "Taylor Swift regularly rents out her jet to other people. It is clearly wrong to blame most or all of this travel on her."
Joe Alwyn is the star who has been dating Taylor Swift for the longest time. Taylor Swift has dated Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor Kennedy, Harry Styles, and Tom Hiddleston, but she has not dated anyone for as long as Joe Alwyn. Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn are cautious about what they say about each other. It is expected that there will be no mention of confirmation of the breakup either. Attention is being paid to what the future will be like for the two people, who appear to have reached the end of their six-year relationship.
