Taylor Swift recently split from her long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn, and a new song release may give details about their break-up.

Swift and Alwyn reportedly first met in 2016 when they both attended the Met Gala in New York City, but they did not begin dating until later that year. The couple chose to be very private about their relationship, especially considering how public Swift’s relationships had been in the past. Pieces of their relationship have been revealed through Swift’s music, and fans think that one of her most recent songs gives insight into why the celebrity couple called it quits after six years.

Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn Kept Relationship Private

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn were first spotted together in late 2016. They had reportedly met early that year when they both attended the Met Gala in New York City. At the time, Swift was newly single following her split from Tom Hiddleston, whom she also met at the 2016 Met Gala.

During their six-year relationship, Swift and Alwyn chose to keep their relationship extremely private. Swift had previously been in many high-profile relationships, and Alwyn preferred a more low-key lifestyle. Both thought it was best to keep their relationship to themselves as opposed to broadcast it during interviews.

In order to maintain this privacy, Swift and Alwyn chose not to disclose any details about their lives together to the public. Swift also reportedly would travel in disguise to visit her boyfriend, which was quite difficult considering her celebrity status.

Swift did choose to write songs about their relationship since she uses her life for inspiration. Most love-songs on her albums Reputation and Lover are about Alwyn. Fans were given a brief glance into what the singer holds dear, but nothing Swift or Alwyn deemed too private was revealed.

Were Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn Engaged?

Fans are always speculating about Taylor Swift’s love life. Since she was not giving them much to go off of, a rumor circulated that she had become engaged to Alwyn in late 2022 and early 2023.

These rumors were centered around some of Swift’s songs, particularly off her Lover album. The songs “Lover” and “Paper Rings” hinted at a potential wedding, and the couple’s ongoing secrecy about their relationship certainly would have allowed an engagement to fly under the radar.

Swift commented on the rumors on her album Midnights. In the song “Lavender Haze,” Swift wrote the line “All they keep asking me is if I’m gonna be your bride / the only kinda girl they see is a one night or a wife.”

The line is a direct response to the ongoing speculation about the status of Swift’s relationship with Alwyn. Her love life has constantly been a subject of interest for tabloids, and Swift has repeatedly discussed her hatred of the topic. The singer would prefer news outlets to report on her work instead of her relationship.

Swift and Alwyn never reported an engagement, but fans continue to speculate even after their breakup.

Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn Split

In early April 2023, Entertainment Tonight reported that Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn had split up after six years of dating. A source exclusively told the outlet that the two had parted ways.

The breakup reportedly happened a few weeks before Entertainment Tonight shared the news, but “it was not dramatic.” Many fans took this to mean that the breakup occurred before Swift embarked on her stadium tour.

“The relationship had just run its course,” the source revealed. “It’s why [Alywn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows [at Swift’s The Eras tour].”

Swift was reportedly the one to initiate the breakup.

In the aftermath of the split, fans have speculated that the breakup was not as amicable as the source initially stated. One reason for this was the reaction of Swift’s celebrity fans.

Swift has a core group of celebrity friends, including Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, and Gigi Hadid. All the celebrities listed have un-followed Joe Alwyn on social media following the breakup, which many fans believe implies something bad about the split.

Taylor Swift’s New Song “You’re Losing Me” About Joe Alwyn

Though details about her breakup with Joe Alwyn were still fuzzy, fans think that Taylor Swift’s newest song “You’re Losing Me” gives a lot of insight into the split and relationship.

Swift released the song on CD while on The Eras tour. The song is not currently available on streaming, but lyrics can be found online.

The song as a whole tells the story of a failing relationship, specifically if Swift should stay to fix the relationship or leave altogether.

“Do I throw out everything we built or keep it? / I’m getting tired,” she says in the song.

The chorus repeats the notion “Stop, you’re losing me” several times.

One line in particular that is drawing attention occurs in the bridge. Swift sings, “I’m the best thing at this party / And I wouldn’t marry me either.”

Fans are attaching this lyric to the previous rumors of an engagement between Swift and Alwyn. Fans are speculating again that perhaps a marriage was on the table, but either Swift or Alwyn turned down the proposal.

Swift has yet to confirm that the song is about her breakup with Alwyn or that a turned down proposal was the reason for their split.

The singer has quickly moved on from her long-term relationship with Alwyn and is reportedly now dating Matt Healy.
