In the wake of reports surrounding the breakup of Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn, let's take a journey through the timeline of their relationship, spanning six years of highs and, ultimately, a rumored end.
Taylor Swift, whose romantic escapades were once tabloid fodder, found solace in the arms of British actor Joe Alwyn in 2016. Bringing a sense of calm to Swift's tumultuous love life, their relationship unfolded over the years, with an entire album, "Lover," dedicated to celebrating their love. However, recent American media reports suggest that the couple, who weathered the storms of the pandemic and fended off wedding rumors, may have called it quits. In the aftermath of this breakup, let's revisit the various chapters of their relationship.
Before Joe Alwyn entered the scene, Swift's romantic history unfolded in the public eye, marked by breakups that ranged from bad to worse. From Joe Jonas to the infamous Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston triangle, Swift's journey to finding lasting love was paved with challenges and heartbreaks.
2016: Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn Cross Paths
The exact moment Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn crossed paths remains a mystery, but rumors suggest it was during the 2016 MET Gala. This eventful night saw Swift still in a relationship with Calvin Harris and the beginning of her short-lived romance with Tom Hiddleston. Amidst these high-profile connections, Taylor and Joe reportedly met for the first time, as hinted by the lyrics of "Dress" from the "Reputation" album, referencing their memorable encounters that night.
2017: Taylor Swift and Joe Officially Couple Up
Despite the controversies surrounding Swift in 2016, including rumors of infidelity in her triangle with Calvin and Tom, strong speculations emerged in 2017 that she and Joe Alwyn had embarked on a romantic journey. Family and friends, as reported by local media, hinted that by May, the couple had already been dating for several months. Determined to keep their relationship away from the public eye, the pair faced inevitable encounters with paparazzi. In June, they were spotted together in Nashville, presumably for Joe to meet Taylor's parents, and in July, leaving her apartment in New York incognito.
As the year unfolded, their low-profile approach couldn't shield them entirely from the public gaze. In October, fans speculated that the lyrics of "Gorgeous" were a tribute to Joe, following a secret session promise made to the singer. Weeks later, they made headlines again, caught in a romantic moment during an Ed Sheeran concert.
