The responses of Matty Healy to the songs about him in The Tortured Poets Department have been discussed extensively. Travis Kelce and his mom's reactions have also been obtained. But Joe Alwyn seems to have kept quiet through it all, until now.
According to an insder, Alwyn is seething not because Swift sang about him and their relationship - but because she did not do it enough compared to the number of songs she wrote for Matty Healy.
Alwyn and Swift were together for six years; Healy and Swift's interactions lasted barely two months.
Joe Alwyn Thinks It's Unfair Taylor Swift Seems More Hanged Up Over Matty Healy
In a seemingly genius move, Swift might have thrown the most prominent shade possible when she released a double album that contained more information on Matty Healy than about Joe Alwyn! Imagine having two full-length albums but very few songs devoted to a relationship that lasted for years.

A source told DeuxMoi (allegedly by Perez Hilton), as revealed on her podcast this week, the stories about Alwyn being "relieved" are simply not true. Alwyn is not relieved that Swift is keeping their relationship private as much as she was doing that when they were still together.

"It's not really accurate to say he's 'relieved' by the album because it's not as though he was living in fear of what she'd be saying. He wasn't worried in the first place," the source allegedly said.

Naturally, he's not sad nor think those songs about him are lies. He just wished there's more.
"Now that it's out there, he isn't reeling and isn't devastated. They both know what went down between them and what their issues were. Honestly she was more scathing at points on Midnights, Bejeweled especially, than on this album. Someone said the sad songs on the album are about Joe, and the mad ones are about Matty, and that mostly rings true. He's not mad, he doesn't think she's mad, and the songs about him are pretty accurate in terms of what went wrong and how things fell apart. So he respects the fact she told her side of things in this way," the source reportedly explained.
The source ended with: "He does think she's overblown the significance of Matty, both in her life in general and in terms of his importance following their breakup."
In another news, it was reported by Entertainment Tonight that Alwyn barely contacted Swift after the release of the album. They have never been in touch.
Back in February, before the album is released, there were reports already that Alwyn will be mad if Swift dare try to diss him on any of her new tracks.
