If one accepts the fact that the majority by Taylor Swift latest album, The Poet Bureau was tortured, referring to her six-year relationship with the British actor Joe AlwynHis absence from the spotlight seems understandable: records describe toxic exchanges and painful breakups, with a cast of adult men that make Animal house be ashamed. But with a prominent role in Bad things manager by Yorgos Lanthimos new movie, Kinds of kindness, Alwyn had no choice but to retreat from view. And unlike some famous stars who only agree to interviews with strict news guidelines, it seems questions about Taylor Swift are still off limits.
At least they had an interview with Sunday Times was published today, in which Alwyn speaks publicly for the first time about his split from the billionaire singer.
If Swift’s song “Dress” is considered a reliable historical document, it seems likely that the couple first met at the 2016 Met Gala. Swift was there because she is Swift; Alwyn, a novice actor, was said to have been there as an actor by Garrett Hedlund plus one. Thus begins a six-year relationship (depending on which clues you agree to) with a fairly clear end point on or before April 2023.
Swift, who was in the middle of her Eras Tour when news of the split broke, moved on quite quickly, first with the 1975s. Matty Healy (also a rumor TPD subject), then with his current spouse, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. While those liaisons played out on the main stage, Alwyn’s life continued out of the spotlight, with rare public appearances and occasional cryptic social media posts.
Anonymous sources said to be close to Alwyn have said that he has also “moved on” and is “focusing on work”. And that job itself may force him to step back a bit, if this latest interview — perhaps understandably, shows off his Swift connection much more prominently than his new acting job his best — remains the standard.
Even Alwyn understood that and said time, “I understand people’s curiosity” when asked about Swift and TPD. And about the album itself, he said that he “hopes that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with ending a long, loving and fulfilling relationship.” just over six and a half years.”
“It’s a difficult thing to navigate. What is unusual and extraordinary about this situation is that, a week later, it is suddenly in the public domain and the outside world can weigh in.”
Looking back at the furor surrounding their relationship, Alwyn said, “You had something very real suddenly thrown into a very unreal space: tabloids, social media, newspapers, where it is then dissected, speculated about, stripped down to the point of unrecognizability. And the truth is, until the last moment, there is always a gap between what is known and what is said. I made my peace with that.”
Alwyn also suggested that fans and the media have moved on more slowly than he and Swift. “Look, this has been over a year now and I feel lucky to be in a really great place in my life, both professionally and personally,” he said.
One thing the relationship taught him was the need to keep his personal life private as much as possible. “As everyone knows, we together – both of us, together – decided to keep the more private details of our relationship private. It has never been something for commodities and I see no reason to change that now,” he said.
The same goes for whatever is going on in his romantic life right now, which he refuses to discuss. “I’m sure you can appreciate,” he said, “given the amount of noise and scrutiny about my past relationship, why I wouldn’t want to open the door to such things right now .”
“I have smart and honest people in my life,” he said. “I try to live in reality and stay away from the online noise of Twitter—or wherever it comes from—and try to live in the moment.”
