After six years together, things between singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and actor Joe Alwyn had ended.
In the last weeks of April, news began to emerge that the pair had decided to part ways.
An anonymous source suggested that it was a mutual decision by both parties who could no longer see a future together.
When the news broke, a source told ET, "The relationship had just run its course." Since then, though, more sources claim that Taylor's affection for Joe waned to nothing.
"Taylor and Joe had discussed becoming husband and wife," a source reported to Radar Online. "But after considering what marriage would truly mean for her life, Taylor didn't feel content with staying in one place - it was like she was resigned to the idea."
Nights after the heartbreaking announcement of Taylor and her significant other's parting ways, the singer was seen leaving NYC restaurant Via Carota with producer Jack Antonoff and his fiancé Margaret Qualley.
As news of the split spread, those present reported that Taylor Swift didn't seem heartbroken as giddy fans captured images from the scene.
Swifties took to social media immediately, analyzing each lyric, song, and outfit from Taylor's "Eras Tour" for insight into what happened between the two.
The pandemic reportedly allowed some to find solace together, but this wasn't true for Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift. An anonymous source stated, "Taylor's very in tune to what fans say about her online. She's already alluding to the split on stage."
Although ambitious in his own right, the "Mary Queen of Scots" actor couldn't help but feel eclipsed by the overwhelming star power surrounding him. His career struggled to take flight as five years passed; meanwhile, his girlfriend embarked on a worldwide tour.
Taylor Swift is currently in her element, basking in thousands of devout fans' adoration. An insider said that the singer feels an intense bond with the crowd, a feeling which has acted as a soothing balm during this difficult time after her breakup.
As the source revealed, Joe should expect some music from their split. "She's already jotting down words for new songs," they said.
It also seems like the couple did part ways already, despite not having any official announcement from either party, as friends of the "Lover" singer have already unfollowed Joe on Instagram.
