The six-year relationship between Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn has come to an end. Breakups are no easy thing to deal with, even for celebrities. But when a large fan base like Swift’s is hit with breakup news, dramatic reactions are bound to flow. The ‘Anti-Hero’ singer has had quite a dating history, but her relationship with the English actor was perhaps the longest and most hopeful one amongst the fans.

Rumors of something being off started when the actor began missing her performances. He could not be spotted during her Eras world tour, either. The couple was also speculated to be engaged, a rumor that they shrugged off. However, going from that to the news of a breakup comes as an unexpected shock. So when the news hit the internet, fans began having a meltdown and are largely in denial.

Joe Alwyn has not only been a part of Swift’s love life, but her work as well. The couple collaborated to write several Grammy-winning hit songs. These include ‘Folklore’, ‘Evermore’, ‘Betty’, and ‘Exile’, where he was credited under the pen name William Bowery. The celebrated singer even wrote ‘Invisible String’ to tell the story of how her dating history eventually led her to the Stars at Noon actor.

What hits them most, perhaps, is how the whole 2019 album ‘Lover’ was about their love story. Swift has written about her exes like John Mayer, Harry Styles, Taylor Lautner, etc before, but never an album. The couple first met at the 2016 MET Gala and were inseparable ever since. Thereafter, there were multiple reports of their breakup. Neither of them has spoken out about the breakup rumors this time, but the news has already made headlines everywhere.
