Joe Alwyn Spills the Tea on His Taylor Swift Era: Breakups, Ballads & Moving On Like a Pro

Buy Me A Coffee

Joe Alwyn, our favorite low-key British dreamboat, is finally opening up about what it was like dating Taylor Swift, the reigning queen of breakups and bangers. Spoiler alert: It was a lot.

The 33-year-old actor (a.k.a. “that mysterious guy Taylor fans dissect lyrics about”) dated the 35-year-old global pop sensation for six years. That’s a whole doctorate in Swiftian romance. But alas, in April 2023, we all learned they had split. Cue the collective gasp heard ’round the world.

Privacy, Please… Or Not?
Joe and Taylor were like that couple who sits in the corner at parties whispering and laughing while everyone else tries to figure out their inside joke. Super private, but also so intriguing that the public couldn’t stop playing detective. Fans analyzed Taylor’s songs like it was a national treasure hunt. Clues about Joe? Found in verse three, bridge two, and—oh wait, there’s a hidden message in the guitar strum!

In a rare interview with The Guardian, Joe broke his code of silence (kind of) and gave us a peek behind the curtain. Turns out, dating a megastar isn’t all Grammys and glitz—it’s also about ignoring the world screaming your name.

“I’ve tried to focus on what I can control,” he said, channeling zen monk vibes. “Like friends, family, and work. The noise? I just pretend it doesn’t exist. Because if you let it in, you’re living from the outside in. And then, well, you’re pretty f-cked.” Joe, with the wisdom of a man who’s dodged a million paparazzi.

From Boyfriend to Bowery
Remember William Bowery? That’s Joe’s alter ego and the secret sauce behind some of Taylor’s folklore and evermore tracks. Yes, the man went from boyfriend to co-songwriter during the pandemic. Why? Because Taylor caught him playing piano at home. (Imagine being so talented that your quarantine hobby becomes Grammy-winning art.)

Joe called their musical bonding “pretty special” and admitted he never saw it coming. Same, Joe, same. Who knew you had those piano chops hiding under all that brooding charm?

Breakup Breakdown (Or Lack Thereof)
And what about the breakup? Joe’s moved on faster than a Taylor Swift chorus hits No. 1. “That’s for other people to obsess over,” he shrugged. Translation: You can keep crying to “All Too Well,” but Joe’s already on the next chapter.

“It’s been a while now,” he added. “So yeah, you do you, but I’m out.” A mic-drop moment if we’ve ever heard one.

Final Thoughts?
Joe Alwyn: classy, composed, and keeping it cool in a world where every lyric might be about him. And us? We’ll be here, scouring Taylor’s next album for more Easter eggs while Joe enjoys his tea and piano solos in peace.
