Joe Alwyn Publicly Addresses Taylor Swift Drama Amid Travis Kelce Breakup RumorsBritish actor Joe Alwyn | LOIC VENANCE / AFP

Suspicious Timing 🧐

As you may recall, Taylor Swift was in a committed relationship with Joe Alwyn for six years before her brief fling with Matty Healy and then her highly publicized romance with KC Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hit celebrity news.

For those of us in the swiftie-sphere, it was expected that her new album The Tortured Poets Department would provide insight into why she and Alwyn ended things, but instead, most of the songs were about her time with Healy (who, by the way, just announced his engagement to someone who couldn’t be more different from Taylor Swift).

But that’s not the main focus here. While there are some tracks that are most likely linked back to Joe (such as “So Long, London” and “How Did It End?”), for the most part, there were no direct jabs at him (those were saved for Matty H and Kim K).

Joe Alwyn FINALLY Has Something to Say

Well, at last, Yogurt Boy (Joe Alwyn) has graced us with his presence and given a public interview where he speaks about Taylor Swift’s latest album. He sat down with The Sunday Times and finally answered questions about his ex.

Reflecting on the uproar surrounding their romance, Alwyn said, “You have something very real suddenly thrown into a very unreal space: tabloids, social media, press, where it is then dissected, speculated on, pulled out of shape beyond recognition. And the truth is, to that last point, there is always going to be a gap between what is known and what is said. I have made my peace with that.”

Later in the interview, he added: “As everyone knows, we together—both of us, mutually—decided to keep the more private details of our relationship private. It was never something to commodify, and I see no reason to change that now,” Alwyn told The Times regarding his 6-year relationship. “And, look, this is also a little over a year ago now and I feel fortunate to be in a really great place in my life, professionally and personally. I feel really good.”

Are Taylor and Travis Still Together?

All this Joe drama comes right after Taylor Swift put celebrity rumors to rest about her and Travis Kelce breaking up. Over the past few weeks, Swifties and online haters alike have been speculating about whether or not Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have split. This is because the two haven’t been seen together since their romantic getaway at Lake Como about a month ago.

It’s crazy to think how much effort they used to put into seeing each other whenever they could. But now that they’re almost at their one-year anniversary, things have naturally slowed down. However, Taylor silenced any doubts recently by tuning in to Chariah Gordon’s livestream of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl 2024 ring ceremony and showering the comments with love and support for her partner.

“JOINING THE PARTY FROM LIVERPOOL LET’S GOOOOOOOO,” Tay wrote in excitement, along with “YESSSSSSS 😍😍😍” and “AND WE GET ANOTHER YEAR OF MECOLE 👑.” Swift eventually signed off with, “Gotta go to sleep it’s so late here love you guys❣️❣️❣️.”

 

At one point during the livestream, she mysteriously disappeared, which has led Swifties to speculate that it coincided with the time Travis was on a Facetime call.

So it seems that Joe Alwyn is jumping on the Taylor Swift bandwagon, just like everyone else. However, Taylor is too occupied with her Eras Tour and Travis Kelce to even pay attention. Here’s to hoping we see Trav at her London shows!
