Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn

In contrast to her public persona, Taylor Swift has been notoriously secretive about her private and personal life, and, to some degree, she has good reasons to be. Being a well-known singer, she’s often hounded by paparazzi, especially when she was in a relationship with Tom Hiddleston, who is known for his portrayal of Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As such, her public profile to this day is much more invested in her work. However, her current relationship with actor Joe Alwyn, of English descent, has been both a secret and the basis for much of Swift’s songs since 2016.

Not much is known about their relationship. According to public knowledge, they have been together since 2016, and it became public when they attended that year’s Met Gala together. What can be said, however, is that Swift used their relationship as the basis for her songs, with Exile and Betty rumored to be co-written by Alwyn. As of 2020, however, they had been much more open about their relationship. However, Swift denied rumors of engagement when she did an interview for Rolling Stone, calling Alwyn her boyfriend.
