Taylor Swift Takes the Stage for the First Time After Joe Alwyn Split Reports

Taylor Swift is back on stage and in high spirits after news of her breakup with boyfriend Joe Alwyn went public. The pop superstar performed at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida as part of her sold-out Eras tour, welcoming the crowd and saying, "We have a lot to catch up on."

The couple, who had been dating for six years, reportedly broke up several weeks ago due to "differences in their personalities," according to a source. While friends thought they would eventually reconcile, ultimately they weren't the right fit. Representatives for Swift and Alwyn have not commented on the breakup.

The breakup came just one week after Swift surprised her audience by swapping out the love song "Invisible String" with "The 1," which focuses on the "what ifs" of a failed romance. Swift and Alwyn were first publicly linked in May 2017 and had maintained privacy about their relationship throughout.

An insider revealed that Joe struggled with Taylor's level of fame and that their personalities had grown apart after years together. Swift is expected to continue her tour through August.
