As followers proceed to parse what the lyrics of Taylor Swift’s newest launch, the 31-track double album The Tortured Poets Department, imply, the purported topic of a few of these emotional songs is reportedly “doing well.”
We’re not speaking about Matty Healy. The world heard from him final week and he appears high-quality, if possibly a bit bewildered. Now, it’s Joe Alwyn’s flip.
An unnamed supply informed People that Alwyn, with whom Swift was in a relationship for some six years earlier than their breakup turned public data simply over a 12 months in the past in April 2023, is “focused on work” and has “moved on” from Swift.
“He’s dating and happy,” the supply mentioned. “He’s a great guy and not into drama in any way.”
Alwyn “certainly doesn’t talk poorly about [Taylor],” the supply mentioned. “He was in love with her, and it just didn’t work out.”
It’s not shocking that he doesn’t speak poorly of her, as a result of Alwyn not often talks publicly in any respect. “Joe loves acting, but can’t stand the attention that comes with it. He’s not comfortable in the spotlight,” the source added.
Indeed, even when the two were dating, the notoriously private Alwyn refused to speak about Swift in interviews, even clamming up when asked where he keeps the Grammy he earned by co-writing songs with her. “I actually don’t know where it is,” he mentioned in an interview with Gold Derby. “I think it’s on the piano.” In 2018, when GQ requested him to call his favourite Swift monitor, his response was that he was “just not even going to go into that side of the world.”
Swift has moved on with a new-ish romance with Kansas City Chiefs star tight finish Travis Kelce, onerous launching their relationship with an look at one in every of his video games in September 2023. Though an unnamed supply informed Entertainment Tonight that Alwyn and Swift “are not in touch at this point,” their Venn diagrams do have important factors of overlap: For instance, Alwyn’s subsequent function is in director Yorgos Lanthimos’s Kinds of Kindness, which he stars in reverse famous Swift pal Emma Stone. Margaret Qualley, whose New Jersey wedding ceremony to frequent Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff Swift attended final summer season, can also be within the movie. Just as a result of Swift has mentioned “So Long, London,” that doesn’t imply the world’s maps have been revised.
Representatives for Alwyn and Swift didn’t instantly reply to requests for remark.
