Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn: Relationship Timeline

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn kept their romance relatively private, but there were plenty of milestones to look back on prior to their April 2023 split.

Swift’s relationship with the U.K. native was made public in May 2017. One year later, a source told Us Weekly exclusively that the Grammy winner believed that Alywn was “The One.”

“She wants to get engaged to him,” the insider said. “She just doesn’t feel as though she has to impress anyone at this point.”

Swift often spoken about her decision to keep her romance under wraps. [cut extra sentence and added credit in quote] “I, oftentimes, in my anxieties, can control how I am as a person and how normal I act and rationalize things, but I cannot control if there are 20 photographers outside in the bushes and what they do and if they follow our car and if they interrupt our lives,” she shared in a November 2020 Rolling Stone interview with Paul McCartney. “I can’t control if there’s going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow.”

In April 2023, Us confirmed that the pair split after nearly six years.
