Debuting to music in the latter half of the 2000s, Taylor Swift has now gone on to become one of America’s most influential personalities. The latter of which was most recently evident in her still ongoing globe-trotting Eras Tour, which saw fans from every nook and cranny of the world make a beeline to witness her perform.
Unsurprisingly, each of her slightest moves is subject to intense scrutiny and discussion by the masses, which not long ago, centered on her unceremonious split from Joe Alwyn and the resulting drama unfolding out of it.
Following a six-year-long romance, the duo called it quits, in a news that took the Swifties by surprise. Soon after, a barrage of references and mashups pointing to Alwyn being the likely culprit behind the separation started appearing in the1989singer’s songs, causing many to openly riot against the former.
A wave of allegations and unconfirmed speculations flooded the Internet and general media, with almost everyone taking to a one-sided opinion. Now, about a year later, the British songwriter has come up with his side of the story with a startling revelation set to disturb popular discourse.
Joe Alwyn breaks his silence on Taylor Swift split
Following a 2016 meetup at the Met Gala,Taylor SwiftandJoe Alwynmade their relationship public, a year down the line. While most of their personal proceedings were private, the couple did make several notable public appearances as well as collaborated in songs likeBettyandEvermore,with the latter credited under the pseudonym of William Bowery. Yet, the roses soon withered with them parting ways in 2023.
Now, in his first address on the issue,The Favoriteactorspoke toThe Sunday Times Styleand ensured that he was“fully committed”throughout the span of their relationship.
I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years.
The comments hold importance given that theWildest Dreamssinger has more or less hinted at beingcheated upon by him with lyrics to her songsmentioning the likes of“And I broke down crying, was she worth the mess?”and“‘cause you were never mine”.

The 33-year-old also labeled the ordeal a“hard thing to navigate”,considering popular public opinion going against him even when his side of the story was yet to surface. Finally, reasoning for speaking out now, after months of the incident, he spoke of how the ex-couple had mutually agreed to keep discussions on such matters, private.
Social media gets torn apart as Joe Alwyn mentions an abnormality
In the same round of talks, Joe Alwyn also opened up on the rapid pace of news of his split with Taylor Swift fanning around. All of it simply made life hard for him after being“suddenly thrown into a very unreal space”.

Moreover, he also highlighted how the intense spotlight on the breakup from news outlets and tabloids affected him as the truth got“ pulled out of shape beyond recognition”.
What is unusual and abnormal in this situation is that, one week later, it’s suddenly in the public domain and the outside world is able to weigh in.
Not long after these revelations went public, social media erupted into a war zone. Several of those online wondered about the nature of truthfulness in Swift’s narration of the story whereas the Swifties came forward in stark defense. A play of lyrics, quotes, and blames led the air into a combat zone of words.
So Joe alwyn was getting canceled by swifties cause they thought he cheated. But it was Taylor Swift who was cheating & fantasizing about marrying someone else while being with him
