Taylor Swift just released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, and many fans think several of the songs are about her relationship with Joe Alwyn. When the two were still together, it was reported that the actor wanted to keep his romance with the pop star "personal."
According to People magazine, the couple broke up in April 2023, a year after dating for six years. Today (April 19), after the release of her new album, a source told the outlet that the actor intentionally kept his relationship with the singer private.
"[the relationship] took a lot of people by surprise... but he wasn't showing off in some way," the insider said of Alwyn's friends' reaction when they found out about the romance.
Even though the public was interested in their romance, Alwyn wanted to keep the relationship out of the public eye to remain "his own personal story."
However, Swift appears to have addressed their romance in the new song "So Long, London," which features the lyrics, "I stopped trying to make him laugh / Stopped trying to drill the safe / And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free."
