Inside the Breakup of Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn: What's the Reason?

According to a source, some members of Taylor Swift's inner circle were not surprised by her sudden breakup with Joe Alwyn. The singer, who is currently on her "The Eras Tour," has not given fans any indication of trouble in paradise. Despite the split, Taylor does not want anyone to feel sorry for her, especially her fans. The insider says that while she does not hate Joe, it still hurts a lot.

It was reported that Taylor and Joe had split several weeks before the news broke. The notoriously private couple began dating in 2016 and kept their relationship out of the public eye. However, Joe was featured in Taylor's 2020 Netflix documentary, "Miss Americana." In February 2022, multiple sources confirmed that the couple had become engaged, but they never publicly confirmed the proposal. In an interview with WSJ Magazine in April 2022, Joe played coy about the engagement rumors.

Taylor, on the other hand, was more forthcoming about their relationship. In 2021, she gushed about Joe while accepting the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Recently, while discussing the meaning behind her single "Lavender Haze" on Instagram, she explained why they wanted to maintain their privacy. "We've had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it. So, this song is about ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff."
