Every Time Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn Talked About Each Other

She knows that "it's delicate." Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn don't speak much about their relationship, but when they do, the world listens. Taylor Swift has been infamously tagged as a “serial dater” for at least half of her career. But ever since the Kimye scandal back in 2016, the "Blank Space" songwriter decided to live a quiet life, attempting to stay out of the limelight at all costs, and for a good reason. This includes her relationship with her long-time beau, Joe Alwyn.

The couple allegedly first crossed paths back in May 2016 at the Vogue's Met Gala, but it wasn’t until January 2017 that Taylor finally confirmed that she and the Harriet actor were dating. According to Glamour, The "Look What You Made Me Do" singer set the record straight that she “wants it to stay that way because I don’t want anything about this to change or become too complicated or intruded upon.”

It seems like everything is in accordance with her plan since their first paparazzi shots were taken five months after she confirmed their relationship. Taylor has hardly talked about their relationship in public since, but when she does, the world can’t stop gushing about it.
