When it comes to celebrities with complicated love lives, Taylor Swift most definitely tops the list — and her dating history is proof! The “Exile” artist has kissed a lot of frogs (and written a lot of breakup songs) over the years. 

Thankfully, as of 2020, Taylor and her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, seem happier than ever. The A-list pair quietly began dating in 2016. Fans of the Grammy winner believe Taylor and Joe were introduced at the Met Gala that year thanks to a lyric from her 2017 song “Dress” that reads: “Flashback to when you met me/ your buzzed cut and my hair bleached.”

Since day one, Taylor and the U.K. actor have kept things extremely low-key. So much so, it took Joe nearly two years to publicly mention his relationship with the Pennsylvania native. “I’m aware people want to know about that side of things,” the Mary Queen of Scots actor told British Vogue in September 2018. “I think we have been successfully very private and that has now sunk in for people … but I really prefer to talk about work.”

For Taylor’s part, she sort of went Instagram official with Joe in November 2018. OK, so she didn’t actually post a photo with him, but she did share a promotional message for his movie The Favourite, calling it “phenomenal,” and tagging his handle. 

To be fair, just because Taylor doesn’t share snapshots of Joe on social media, doesn’t mean she hasn’t acknowledged their romance in her own way. Since they began dating, the Miss Americana star has released three studio albums — Reputation (2017), Lover (2019) and Folklore (2020) — all of which feature songs about her *London boy.* 

See, Taylor is all about putting her real-life experiences in her music. In fact, several of her ex-boyfriends are subtly (or not-so-subtly) referenced in a number of her tracks. Take “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” for example.

“It’s definitely about Jake,” a source told Us Weekly in 2012, referring to her ex Jake Gyllenhaal. While Taylor and the Donnie Darko actor made a very cute couple, we’re ultimately glad their breakup led to such an amazing heartbreak anthem.

TAYLOR Swift's colourful dating life has inspired some of her greatest hits, and helped make her into the global superstar she is today.

The singer has finally found 'the one' but not before having many high profile romances along the way

Joe Alwyn (May 2017 - Present)

8

In May 2017, The Sun' Bizarre column exclusively revealed  how Taylor and British actor Joe, 30, had been secretly dating.

Renting a North London home and donning disguises to see her beau, the pair would spend time together in secret as she hid away from the limelight.

Joe, who hails from the capital, lives with his mum and dad - but has already performed on screen with Hollywood heavyweights like Vin Diesel and Kristen Stewart.

Tom Hiddleston (June - September 2016)

8

Hiddleswift became an item after we revealed the sensational photos showing them canoodling on the beach in front of her Rhode Island mansion just weeks after splitting with Calvin Harris.

Their love story spanned the globe with the pair photographed in Italy, England and Australia.

Tom even introduced her to his mum, and at her Fourth of July party he was seen wearing the now infamous I love TS T-shirt.

Splitting up that September, Taylor's team said their whirlwind romance ended as Tom wanted too much publicity from the relationship. However sources close to Tom say he just got tired of the star.

Calvin Harris (February 2015 - June 2016)

8

We thought 'Tayvin' was the real deal as their 15-month relationship bloomed in front of us on social media.

Popstar Ellie Goulding said she originally set Calvin and Taylor up when she introduced them at the BRIT Awards after-party in London in 2015.

Tay even thanked him at the iHeartMusic awards calling him "the most amazing person".

But after more than a year of adorable Instagram shots and PDAs at music awards the couple went their separate ways.

Different rumours have surrounded the split with different camps suggesting Taylor split with Calvin for Tom, while others say it was Calvin who wanted out because Taylor wanted to get more serious.

This pair is unlikely to ever get back together after Calvin slammed the pop princess saying she tried to 'bury [him] like Katy [Perry]'.

Harry Styles (October 2012 - January 2013)

8

Although short-lived, this was a very public relationship.

After a month of romantic strolls in Central Park and an unfortunate snowmobile accident, 'Haylor' was not meant to be.

A short but great romance it was, as the relationship spawned not one but two songs.

Both Style and Out Of The Woods from her album 1989 are said to be about the singer.

Conor Kennedy (July - October 2012)

Taylor was wooed by the Kennedy son during the summer of 2012.

However, the pair soon broke it off, with differing reasons from both camps saying as to why.

Four years Conor's senior, some sources claimed that her apparent want for a serious relationship was what ultimately called for the downfall between the 18 and 22 year olds.

However, others blamed it on a long-distance relationship ultimately causing their break-up.

Jake Gyllenhaal (2010)

8

Rumours say the 10 year age gap became a big issue for the couple when they dated for two months back in 2010.

This Is The Moment I Knew is said to be about Jake. Apparently he stood her up at her 21st birthday party and she spent the evening crying in her bathroom.

Some people speculate that 'We Are Never Getting Back Together' is about the actor.

Taylor explained in an interview with Nightline the song is about an on/off relationship that was “the worst”.

Ending the relationship for good, the music video sees Taylor wearing a number of things that give the hint the song is about Jake – including a diamond bracelet he apparently gave her for her birthday, and a scarf that she was seen wearing on one of their dates.

John Mayer (December 2009 - February 2010)

8

Taylor was just 19 when she sparked a romance with a then 31-year-old.

After a brief romance, they split, and she wrote a scathing song on her Speak Now album named Dear John, which is almost universally acknowledge to be about the crooner.

The lyrics slam the singer for going after her at such a young age, and said: “Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home, I should've known.”

He later confirmed that he thought the song was about him and told Rolling Stone:  “I didn't deserve it. "I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do."

Taylor Lautner (August - December 2009)

8

Taylor and Taylor, affectionately known as Taylor Squared, got together after meeting on the set of Valentine's Day.

The Twilight heartthrob tried to win her over at a hockey game, but he was more into her than she was into him.

Their relationship was reportedly documented in 'Back To December', where she sings of a guy with “tan skin and a sweet smile” who she dumped one day in December in exchange for “freedom”.

Years later, Taylor Lautner spoke briefly about him being the inspiration for the song, and said simply: “That’s what she does”.

Lucas Till (March - April 2009)

While Lucas is not the most famous name on her list of exes, any fan of T-Swift will recognise his face, as he starred alongside her in the video for You Belong With Me.

However, turns out that ironically, the pair weren't, and after sparking a relationship during the making of the music video, the pair didn't last longer than a month.

Lucas later said the split came when they realised they worked better as friends.

Joe Jonas (July - October 2008)

8

Joe and Taylor dated for four months back in 2008.

On the Ellen DeGeneres show shortly afterwards, Taylor revealed Jonas dumped her in a 27 second phone call.

It was also rumoured that his growing closeness with actress Camilla Belle also contributed to their split.

The song Better than Revenge is thought to be about this messy love triangle, and despite her sweet image, Taylor scathed in the song: “She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think, she’s an actress.

“She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress.”

Topics

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have been dating for a while now, but thanks to his super guarded approach to talking about his personal life, their relationship has mostly stayed shrouded in mystery.

But the longer they're together, the more fans are learning about their romance - from Joe's appearance in Taylor's Netflix documentary, to his writing credits on her albums, which were written during London's coronavirus lockdown.

Here's a timeline with as much information as we could find about Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn's relationship, dating back to 2016.

8th February 2022

Joe recently shared a little snippet into his relationship with Taylor, during an interview about his upcoming Hulu series - an adaptation of Sally Rooney's Conversations With Friends.

In the show, Joe's character is in an open relationship, and in a recent interview, (via E!) he was asked if it's something he would consider in his own personal life. "I think people can do what they want and makes them happy," he said. "I'm obviously happy in a monogamous relationship." Aw!

Honestly, it may be the tiniest little tidbit of info, but we are all over it. Cute!

Here's the rest of Taylor and Joe's relationship timeline:

3 May 2016:

So where Joe and Tay met isn't 100% clear, which makes the start date to this timeline a tad tricky but, bear with us.

It's May, 2016 and both attend the Met Gala. I know what you're thinking, this link may seem tenuous given that the whole of Hollywood goes BUT Swift's new song 'Dress' - where she sings: 'Flashback to when you met me/ Your buzz cut/ And my hair bleached' -has provided some fans with the theory that the 2016 event could be significant.

A-ha! At the gala, Joe's hair is certainly shorter and Taylor rocks a bleached blonde bob...

However, this Met Gala is also seemingly full of Taylor-related events as a video of her and (soon to be boyfriend) Tom Hiddleston having a dance-off to Beyonce's Crazy in Love does the rounds on the internet.

Just a month later, she announces she has broken up with boyfriend of a year Calvin Harris and weeks later she's pictured kissing Tom Hiddleston. 'Hiddleswift', as they become to be known, break up in September, 2016.

12 October 2016:

Taylor and a whole load of squad members (Is the squad still a thing?) including Lorde, Cara Delevingne, Dakota Johnson and Martha Hunt attend a secret Kings of Leon concert in New York City. It's widely reported that Joe was also there and this is the place where the couple meet.

12 November 2016:

Taylor is papped going to watch a film with her mother and two of the Haim sisters Este and Alana in Los Angeles. And what film is this? Only Joe Alwyn's film Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.

Coincidence orrrrr?

16 May 2017:

Unfortunately, we can't fill you in on what specifically happened over the six months between November 2016 and May 2017 because the couple were so darn good at hiding their relationship.

In May, the story of their relationship finally breaks. The Sunreports that the pair have been dating in secret for months (seems about right) and that Taylor is "besotted" with him.

They add that she's been spending lots of time in London with him, using wigs, scarves and hats as a disguise.

"Taylor and Joe are the real deal, this is a very serious relationship," a source tells the newspaper. "...Taylor has flown in via private jets and her security has made it a military-like mission to prevent her from being seen."

1 June 2017:

As well as Taylor's Mission Impossible-style visits to the UK, Joe also flies to see Taylor in New York, reports E! News.

"Taylor and Joe have really tried to be on lockdown and have spent most of their time together in private locations where they could get to know each other without the pressure of a public relationship and people making judgement calls," a source tells the outlet.

2 June 2017:

E! News covers the story a day later, reporting that Joe has finally met... the squad.

Apparently, Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid, as well as other "close friends", had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know their pals' new beau.

5 June 2017:

Taylor and Joe are pictured together for the first time in a paparazzi shot. The two are seen enjoying coffee on a balcony in Nashville, Tennessee and Taylor is smiling. Cute! It's reported that Joe is there to meet the parents. Dun dun dunnnn.

As well as this, reports that Taylor is house-hunting in London - the city where none other than bloomin' Joe lives - also do the rounds.

26 July 2017:

Taylor and Joe are photographed again, however, this time they're really trying not to be. Pictures in the Mail Onlineshow the couple wearing hoodies and keeping their eyes to the ground as they leave the singer's New York City apartment.

5 September 2017:

Taylor is back with new music and everyone is freaking out trying to guess who and what all the songs are about. After all, she's had a fairly eventful couple of years since her last album.

One song '...Ready for It?' has fans divided over whether it's about Joe or her former love interest Harry Styles. But then... according to Buzzfeed, Taylor reportedly likes a Tumblr post breaking down the lyrics, with all signs pointing to them being about Joe.

21 September 2017:

The secret transatlantic visits show no slowing down and they've reportedly been made easier by Taylor's famous mates.

According to The Sun, Cara Delevingne hosted the couple at her house in west London so that they could continue to keep the whole thing on the DL while visiting Joe's family and friends.

"She's trying to keep a low profile with Joe and staying with Cara has let her do that," a source told the tabloid. "... They can even walk Cara's dog round the local park without anyone batting an eyelid."

20 October 2017:

Another song from Taylor's forthcoming album Reputation drops and it's called 'Gorgeous'.

According to fans, Taylor told them the song was about Joe during one of her secret listening sessions.

Lyrics include: "You should take it as a compliment / That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk / You should think about he consequence / Of your magnetic field being a little too strong /And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us."

Firstly, Joe is British and Taylor is American which could explain the whole making fun of the way you talk thing. Secondly, her two previous boyfriends have been in their 30s and therefore older than Joe.

26 October 2017:

Taylor's BFF Ed Sheeran pipes up, telling a radio station he thinks Joe is a "good dude".

Giving the seal of approval, the 'Shape of You' singer tells Capital London's Breakfast Show: "He's really nice. Really, really friendly, really good dude".

3 November 2017:

The fourth song from Reputation drops and this time it's 'Call It What You Want' which fans think seems to include a mix of references about both the Kimye feud and Joe.

Here are the lyrics which might be about Joe:

"My baby's fly like a jet stream/ High above the whole scene" - potentially referencing that Joe is not as famous as some of Swift's previous love interests.

10 November 2017:

Taylor's 15-track album is released in full, proving plenty more lyrics for us to try and dissect. Among the many fan theories pointing to lines about Joe, a couple are:

'Don't Blame Me': "I've been breaking hearts a long time, and toying with them older guys just to play things for me to use / Don't blame me, your love made me crazy / My drug is my baby / I'll be using for the rest of my life"

The fact that Taylor seems to talk about the future in the last line indicates she's singing about a current relationship, i.e. her and Joe.

'Delicate': "My reputation's never been worse, so you must like me for me / Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you / Oh damn, never seen that colour blue."

It's fair to say Taylor's public reputation took a bash during the time she met Joe, which she could be hinting at when she describes how the mysterious subject of the song was into her regardless.

He also has very blue eyes, we might add.

6 April 2018:

Taylor is reportedly keen to buy a £30m house in north London's Crouch End, so she can "set down roots" near where Joe and his family live.

A source told The Sun:“Taylor loves the UK and how she can live a relatively normal life without being disturbed," the source said. “Setting down roots is something she’s thought long and hard about. She’s set aside £30million ($42million) to find the house of her dreams, which she hopes to one day settle down in with Joe if their relationship continues to grow."

29 September 2018:

Taylor and Joe are spotted hand-in-hand heading towards the singer's New York City apartment together.

22 November 2018:

Would you believe it? Taylor is actually tagging Joe in a post on Instagram! It's all to promote his new movie The Favourite, which he stars in with Olivia Coleman, Emma Stone and Nicholas Hoult. Taylor calls the film "phenomenal" and tells her followers to go see it.

11 December 2018:

Taylor Swift managed to slip into the London premiere of Joe's move Mary Queen Of Scots, and no one noticed. Well, until Izuka Hoyle, who plays courtier Mary Seton, shared an Instagram Story of the pair chatting in the cinema's lobby, along with the caption, "Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone".

While fans are desperate for their first official red carpet moment for Joe and Taylor, a source told The Sun the singer didn't want to distract from her boyfriend's achievements.

"Taylor didn't want to draw attention to herself because it was really Joe's night", the insider commented. "But she did want to support him and knew he would appreciate her being there, so she took steps to try and prevent anyone knowing she was there.

"It worked in the dark of the cinema but by the time they made it to the party afterwards her cover was blown."

6 January 2019:

A new year and yet Taylor and Joe still appear to be going strong. The two attended the Golden Globes, separately, of course and then hit up several after-parties following the show.

Taylor was spotted at the InStyle/Warner Bros party - where she posed on the red carpet - and then at Fox's and Netflix's soirees, as was Joe. At the Netflix afterparty, "Taylor Swift, was the star of the party, sitting in a VIP area next to [Netflix CCO Ted] Sarandos. At one point, Sarandos approached Swift and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn to ask for a photo with the star. Swift obliged, but was quickly met with more and more photo requests from other attendees at the party. Security called for backup to her section to give her some privacy, but Swift and Alwyn left the event shortly after," per The Hollywood Reporter.

A reporter for Entertainment Tonight also told his Twitter followers how he'd witnessed "Joe Alwyn give Taylor Swift a kiss at the Fox afterparty". Cute!

17 January 2019:

Given that Joe is in every film under the sun at the start of 2019 (well, it feels like it, he has parts in The Favourite and Mary Queen of Scots) he conducts some interviews to promote these movies.

In one with Mr Porter, he objects to being labelled "strangely private" over his and Taylor's refusal to discuss their relationship. He tells the magazine he doesn't think he's had to "fight for his privacy" more than anyone else in the public eye and it seems like he's just of the opinion he doesn't have to share one of the more personal sides of his life with the rest of the world.

"I don't think anyone you meet on the streets would just spill their guts out to you, therefore why should I?" he says. "And then that is defined as being 'strangely private'. Fine. But I don't think it is. I think it's normal."

10 February 2019:

Taylor skipped the Grammys so she could support Joe at the BAFTAs, where his film, The Favourite, won like a million awards. Look how sweet they look together!

Plus, Taylor posted this sweet message on Instagram...

24 February 2019:

Taylor and Joe reportedly attended not one, not two, but THREE pre-Oscars parties together.

They were spotted at the Night Before party and the CAA bash as well as another event, with Perez Hilton claiming it was "PDA all over the place".

"Taylor Swift hit up three parties with her boyfriend Joe Alwyn," Perez told Australian radio show KIIS FM's Kyle & Jackie O.

He added: "They went to such great lengths in 2018 to every avoid being seen in public together. Now finally not only are they going to events and supporting each other. But PDA all over the place.

24 February 2019:

While Joe Alwyn attended the Oscars alone, he was later joined by Taylor Swift at the Vanity Fair party. Other party goers went to great lengths to document the singer's presence, with one catching a lowkey moment of PDA between the pair on video. Adorable.

21 March 2019:

Despite it making it very very hard for fans to get updates on how their relationship is going, being secretive is apparently the key to making things work between Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn.

According to a source atPeople, "Keeping it private from the beginning really helped their relationship. They were able to get to know each other in peace."

While there are rumours going around that Joe is planning a proposal, Taylor is apparently just happy to be with him whatever happens. "Taylor really got lucky to meet Joe, and she is the first one to say it,” a source said. “Joe really is one of a kind.”

The insider added that "They have a very special relationship. Joe adores Taylor", before commenting on the fact they're "very compatible," "respectful" of each other’s careers, and "so sweet" together.

ALRIGHT GUYS. We get it. Anyone else feeling very very single right now?

17 July 2019:

Joe has been supporting Taylor during all this nasty Scooter Braun business.

A source told Hollywood Life, "Taylor‘s loved ones have all rallied around her to support her through this battle, she is not alone in this fight. Her boyfriend Joe has been a total rock in all of this, he is very supportive of her taking a stand… he has got a strong backbone."

The source added: "Taylor has always been pretty fearless when it comes to speaking her truth but having such a solid and healthy relationship makes her feel that much stronger. What she is going through with Scooter is so challenging, but the good news is that her personal life is all smooth sailing. She is very grateful for that."

12 August 2019:

Taylor fans think the singer is secretly engaged to Joe, after she shared some particularly telling lyrics from her new album with Vogue.

In the track, which they describe as both 'haunting' and 'romantic', Taylor sings, "My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue. All’s well that ends well to end up with you."

Something borrowed? Something blue? End up with you? Certainly sounds like a hint towards marriage, doesn't it? Well, Taylor's fans definitely think so, with many taking to Twitter to speculate about whether the singer just announced her engagement.

"HOLD UP SOMETHING BORROWED SOMETHING BLUE? MS.SWIFT ARE YOU GONNA BE TAYLOR ALWYN?" one fan wrote, while another added, "I think Taylor Swift just told us she's engaged. That's it. That's the tweet."

A third added, "If Taylor Swift is secretly engaged to Joe Alwyn I’ll never be calm again."

29 April 2020

Joe Alwyn shares a little insight into self isolation with Taylor Swift, posting three Instagram Stories of one of her beloved cats.

The 29-year-old actor posted three photos of the blue-eyed cat named Benjamin Button: in one he lay in a paper shopping bag, before hiding in a cardboard box and under a rug. Taylor also has two other cats; Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey named after TV characters.

November 2020

Following fan speculation in the summer, Taylor Swift confirms Joe Alwyn did indeed work with her on Folklore - her surprise 8th studio album which dropped in July. At the time, fan speculated about who William Bowery was, an anonymous person credited as co-writer on two songs.

They came up with theories about why the name was linked to Joe, and the singer has since revealed her boyfriend did indeed write the piano parts for 'Betty' and 'Exile'. Speaking about the surprise collaboration in her new documentary, folklore: the long pond studio sessions on Disney+, Taylor said:

This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

"There's been a lot of discussion about William Bowery and his identity. He's not a real person... William Bowery is Joe, as we know. And Joe, Joe plays piano beautifully, and he's always just playing and making things up and kind of creating things."

She later revealed, "I just heard Joe singing the entire, fully formed chorus of 'Betty' from another room. And I just was like, 'Hello,'" Taylor said. "It was a step that we would never have taken because why would we have ever written a song together? This was the first time we had a conversation where I came in and I was like, 'Hey, this could be really weird and we could hate this, so could we just, because we're in quarantine and there's nothing else going on, could we just try to see what it's like if we write this song together?'"

This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

As for his involvement with the song 'Exile'? "Joe had written that entire piano part and he was singing the Bon Iver part... He was just singing it. And so, I was entranced and I asked if we could keep writing that one. It was pretty obvious that it should be a duet, 'cause he's got such a low voice and it sounded really good sung down there in that register."

We are SO ready for a Joe/Taylor duet album.

November 2020

Taylor speaks about Joe during an interview with Paul McCartney for Rolling Stone.

Discussing Folklore song 'Peace', Taylor explained, "'Peace' is actually more rooted in my personal life. I know you [McCartney] have done a really excellent job of this in your personal life: carving out a human life within a public life, and how scary that can be when you do fall in love and you meet someone, especially if you’ve met someone who has a very grounded, normal way of living.

"I, oftentimes, in my anxieties, can control how I am as a person and how normal I act and rationalise 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. I can’t control if there’s going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow."

Asked by McCartney, "Does your partner sympathise with that and understand?" Taylor responded, "Oh, absolutely. ... But I think that in knowing him and being in the relationship I am in now, I have definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real life and less like just a storyline to be commented on in tabloids.

"Whether that’s deciding where to live, who to hang out with, when to not take a picture — the idea of privacy feels so strange to try to explain, but it’s really just trying to find bits of normalcy. That’s what that song 'Peace' is talking about. Like, would it be enough if I could never fully achieve the normalcy that we both crave?"

January 2021

After 11 months of not being seen out together (and being locked down because of you know what), Swift and Alwyn are photographed in London, out on a walk with his mum. Cute.

February 2021

Taylor reveals Joe encouraged her to use her platform to speak out about her political views during part of her Miss Americana Netflix documentary. "As a country musician, I was always told it's better to stay out of [politics]," she told Vanity Fair. "The Trump presidency forced me to lean in and educate myself. I found myself talking about government and the presidency and policy with my boyfriend [Joe Alwyn], who supported me in speaking out."

Taylor thanks Joe during her GRAMMYs 2021 acceptance speech, and the whole moment is *so* cute. Picking up the gong for Album Of The Year for Folklore at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards, Taylor thanked Joe for both his personal support and his contributions to the album as a songwriter (with Joe working under the pseudonym William Bowery).

Taylor told viewers, "I will thank all of my collaborators who are on this stage," before going on to thank Joe who wasn't on stage at the time.

She went on, "Joe, who is the first person that I play every single song that I write and I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine."

FYI, Taylor also made history with her GRAMMYs 2021 win becoming the first female artist ever to win Album of the Year three times. 100% something to celebrate.

May 2021

Taylor takes home the Global Icon award at the 2021 Brits, and thanks Joe once again in her acceptance speech. “I want to thank my friends and family who know exactly who they are: whose opinion of me never changed whether my stock was up or down," she said.

"If there’s one thing that I’ve learned, it’s that you have to look around every day and take note of the people who have always believed in you and never stop appreciating them for it. Never take them for granted."

13th September 2021

Taylor took a trip to Belfast to support Joe as he wrapped filming for the BBC's adaptation of Sally Rooney novel Conversations with Friends.

Belfast cocktail bar The Tipsy Bird shared the news by posting an adorable picture of Taylor alongside staff on Instagram. They wrote, "The one and only @taylorswift graced us with her presence last Friday night💫."

Cute!

23rd November 2021

Taylor supports Joe on set once again by spending time on the film set for his project, The Stars at Noon. A source told E! News, "Taylor visited her boyfriend on the set of his movie."

The Stars at Noon is an adaptation of Denis Johnson's novel of the same name, with Maid's Margaret Qualley also starring alongside Joe. Set in Nicaragua, the film reportedly was shot in Panama - with Taylor paying a visit to Joe on set.

17th January 2022

Taylor and Joe headed across the Atlantic to welcome in 2022, reportedly staying in St Ives, Cornwall for a romantic break. They apparently spent three days together in the coastal town, with a source reporting that St Ives is "particularly special" to the couple.

The insider told The Sun, "Taylor’s a superstar and obviously very wealthy, so she can travel almost anywhere she wants at any time. But to go that far just for a few days clearly meant a lot to them."

The source went on to bring up engagement rumours surrounding Taylor and Joe, saying, "It feels like things are getting more serious and people think an engagement could be on the cards. That could explain such a long journey to a specific place."

They went on, "Taylor is keeping her cards close to her chest, but they’re certainly very happy and enjoying their time together."

Sharing an insight into how the pair got on during the pandemic, the insider added, "Lockdown made things even more serious and they’ve lived together throughout."

As for what Taylor and Joe got up to on their hols, the publication reports that the couple rented a house rather than staying in a hotel, according to sources, before flying back to Maine in the US. Meanwhile, a friend of the pair reportedly added, "It sounds a gorgeous trip."

Taylor Swift gets a lot of extremely unfair sh*t for dating celebrities and then writing songs about them. But without Taylor’s openness and honesty about her romantic life, we wouldn’t have some of her best lyrical work—including her collaboration with a certain someone who goes by the name William Bowery or an entire rerelease of Red (come for the extended track list, stay for the Jake Gyllenhaal shade!). And on that note, here’s a look back at everyone who’s been lucky enough to date Tay (lol, hi, Tom Hiddleston, nice to see you again).

JOE JONAS: JULY 2008 to OCTOBER 2008

Joe and Taylor barely dated, yet their breakup was somehow the most dramatic thing ever. Probably because he rudely ended things over the phone—which Taylor confirmed during a November 2008 appearance on Ellen, saying:

“When I find that person who is right for me, he’ll be wonderful, and when I look at that person, I’m not even gonna be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.”

This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

Taylor later released a Joe-inspired song called “Forever and Always,” which includes the pretty pointed lyrics, “Was I out of line? / Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide / Like a scared little boy.”

While Taylor has since apologized for putting Joe on blast, just a fun reminder that in 2009, she mentioned their breakup in her Saturday Night Live opening monologue:

“You might think I’d bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone. But I’m not going to mention him in my monologue. Hey, Joe! I’m doing real well and I’m hosting SNL—but I’m not going to write about that in my monologue.”

What is having chill, even?

LUCAS TILL: MARCH 2009 to APRIL 2009

Kay, so Lucas played the guy in Taylor’s “You Belong With Me” video, and apparently, they dated for a minute. At least, according to Lucas, who told MTV:

“We dated for a little bit. But there was no friction because we were too nice. We just really both liked each other…[but] most relationships work out ’cause you get along and then you don’t, and then you make up and it’s passionate, and with us, I really just liked her as a friend. That’s the only reason that didn’t work out.”

TAYLOR LAUTNER: FALL 2009

Taylor and Taylor (help) were an item while filming Valentine’s Day, where they shared several iconic scenes together:

She allegedly wrote “Back to December” about him, and when asked what he thought of the song in 2016, Twilight Taylor mused, “That’s what she does.”

Wow, the implied rudeness is enough for me to join Team Edward FOR LIFE.

JOHN MAYER: DECEMBER 2009 to FEBRUARY 2010

Who can forget this relationship? NO ONE, THAT’S WHO. Taylor and John Mayer dated for just a few months, and their breakup was a massive mess thanks to John’s terrible reaction to Taylor writing “Dear John” about him.

This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

John complained to Rolling Stonein a highly whiney interview, saying, “I never got an email. I never got a phone call. I was really caught off guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I’d already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you’ve ever been, someone kicked you even lower?”

He added, “I will say as a songwriter that I think it’s kind of cheap songwriting. I know she’s the biggest thing in the world, and I’m not trying to sink anybody’s ship, but I think it’s abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, ‘Wait till he gets a load of this!’ That’s bullshit.”

@ John, you need to calm down.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL: OCTOBER 2010 to JANUARY 2011

Us Weekly broke the news of these two dating in a December 2010 cover story, blessing the universe with these photos:

Fast-forward to January and the magazine reported that Jake broke up with Taylor completely randomly. “It was a 180-degree turn and so out of the blue,” a source said. “Jake just told her it wasn’t working out…Taylor is really upset and hurt. She doesn’t know what she did for him to put a stop to it. She feels really burned by him.”

A bunch of songs on Red were allegedly inspired by Jake and he was completely cool with them. Taylor didn’t exactly name names, but she did tell New York Magazine that the man in question told her…

“‘I just listened to the album, and that was a really bittersweet experience for me. It was like going through a photo album.’ That was nice. Nicer than, like, the ranting, crazy emails I got from this one dude. It’s a lot more mature way of looking at a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, and both people got hurt from it—but one of those people happened to be a songwriter. So what are you going to do? Did you not Wikipedia me before you called me up?”

CONNOR KENNEDY: JULY 2012 to OCTOBER 2012

Good ol’Us Weekly also broke the news of Connor and Taylor’s relationship after they were photographed together in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, and an onlooker revealed that “Connor put his arm around Taylor and they kissed behind the boat shed.”

The good news is that the split was “totally amicable and down to the distance between them,” according to E!, but I’m personally still bummed Taylor didn’t become a casual Kennedy.

HARRY STYLES: NOVEMBER 2012 to JANUARY 2013

QQ: How much coffee have you had? Because the Harry Styles section of this timeline is best described as EXHAUSTING despite spanning just three months. Rumors about Haylor started flying around after Tay was spotted wearing Harry’s silver airplane necklace—which she also wore in the video for her Harry Styles breakup song “Out of the Woods.” See?

In December, these two “went public” when they were photographed strolling around the Central Park Zoo—but after just a few months of dating and one vacation where Taylor was seen sitting alone on a boat, Haylor broke up. Things were pretty awkward henceforth, especially when Taylor dissed Harry during her 2013 Grammys performance by using an English accent.

TOM HIDDLESTON: MAY 2016 to SEPTEMBER 2016

Remember when Taylor was dating the poor lost soul known as Tom Hiddleston? No? Well, here’s a reminder:

This unlikely relationship started at the Met Gala, where Taylor and Tom were seen dancing the night away:

Things went full steam ahead after the photos went viral. Tom met Taylor’s parents in Nashville, they were seen dancing at a Selena Gomez concert, and Tom was spotted wearing an “I HEART TS” tank top while frolicking in the ocean with Taylor and a bunch of supermodels.

Alas, things went south for the couple in September 2016, with sources saying Taylor was worried Tom wasn’t with her for the right reasons.

JOE ALWYN: MAY 2017 to NOW

Taylor and Joe met on The! First! Monday! Of! May! which is the fancy way of saying at the Met Gala. To be honest, this hasn’t actually been confirmed by anyone, but fans think Taylor’s song “Dress” implies they had a moment based on these lyrics: “Flashback to when you met me / Your buzz cut / And my hair bleached.”

Reminder: This is what Tay looked like on that fated night (yeah, same Met Gala as that scarring Instagram video above, and apparently, Joe, not pictured, had a buzz cut):

An entire year later, British tabloid The Sunbroke the news that Taylor and Joe were dating, that she’d been staying in London in disguise, and that she and Joe were “the real deal.” Then, in December 2017, Jaylor were seeing publicly swaying at an Ed Sheeran concert:

Taylor Swift's newest music video "Lover" is here, and it features her very own backup dancer, Christian Owens — who's also her first on-screen black love interest.

In the music video for the Lover album title track, Christian plays partner to Taylor in a visually lush, romantic dollhouse setup, full of bright colors and Wes Anderson-inspired scenery. The two fight and make up, and even end up with a daughter in the video's final scene. (The scene feels like a callback to a scene in the “Mine” music video when Taylor and her love interest are celebrating their child’s birthday with a party.)

The moment is a refreshing, long-needed change for Taylor's typical landscape of broody white boys (see: Tyler Hilton, Sean O'Pry, Dominic Sherwood, etc etc.). And the video contains all of Taylor's favorite symbols — her cats, her musical instruments, Christmas trees. Taylor released the video as part of a YouTube livestream called the Lover's Lounge, where she reminded fans that Christian was the “lead man” in Taylor’s dance routine for the “King Of My Heart” performances on the Reputation Stadium Tour.

She also revealed the music video was inspired by a lyric from 1989 track “You Are In Love” which has lyrics like, "And so it goes, you two are dancing in a snow globe round and round.” Taylor’s ballad “New Year’s Day” from Reputation is also referenced in this video, hence the New Year’s celebrations amongst Taylor, Christian, and their friends. In the stream, she shared that the album Lover was originally called Daylight, and that she consulted with her family to decide whether or not to release the likely heartfelt song “Soon You’ll Get Better.”

For the livestream, Taylor brought out a special guest — Stella McCartney, who collaborated with Taylor on a clothing collection inspired by the album. Taylor and Stella gave a preview of the New York City pop-up shop for their collaboration, which features displays of some of Taylor’s recent outfits, like one she wears in the “Lover” video and the rainbow fringe outfit from her Wango Tango performance. She ended the stream with her first-ever live performance of “The Archer.”

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have been dating for a while now, but thanks to his super guarded approach to talking about his personal life, their relationship has mostly stayed shrouded in mystery.

But the longer they're together, the more fans are learning about their romance - from Joe's appearance in Taylor's Netflix documentary, to his writing credits on her albums, which were written during London's coronavirus lockdown.

Here's a timeline with as much information as we could find about Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn's relationship, dating back to 2016.

8th February 2022

Joe recently shared a little snippet into his relationship with Taylor, during an interview about his upcoming Hulu series - an adaptation of Sally Rooney's Conversations With Friends.

In the show, Joe's character is in an open relationship, and in a recent interview, (via E!) he was young gay dating apps if it's something he would consider in his own personal life. "I think people can do what they want and makes them happy," he said. "I'm obviously happy in a monogamous relationship." Aw!

Honestly, it may be the tiniest little tidbit of ethiopian personal dating site, but we are all over it. Cute!

Here's the rest of Taylor taylor swift dating black guy Joe's relationship timeline:

3 May 2016:

So where Joe and Tay met isn't 100% clear, which makes the start date to this timeline a tad tricky but, bear with us.

It's May, 2016 and both attend the Met Gala, taylor swift dating black guy. I know what you're thinking, this link may seem tenuous given that the whole of Hollywood goes BUT Swift's new song 'Dress' - where she sings: 'Flashback to when you met me/ Your buzz cut/ And my hair bleached' -has provided some fans with the theory that the 2016 event could be significant.

A-ha! At the gala, Joe's hair is certainly shorter and Taylor rocks a bleached blonde bob.

However, this Met Gala is also seemingly full of Taylor-related events as a video of her and (soon to be boyfriend) Tom Hiddleston having a dance-off to Beyonce's Crazy in Love does the rounds on the internet.

Just a month later, she announces she has broken up with boyfriend of a year Calvin Harris and weeks later she's pictured kissing Tom Hiddleston. 'Hiddleswift', as they become to be known, break up in September, 2016.

12 October 2016:

12 November 2016:

Taylor is papped going to watch a film with her mother and two of the Haim sisters Este and Alana in Los Angeles. And what film is this? Only Joe Alwyn's film Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.

Coincidence orrrrr?

16 May 2017:

Unfortunately, we can't fill you in on what specifically happened over the six months between November 2016 and May 2017 because the couple were so darn good at hiding their relationship.

In May, the story of their relationship finally breaks. The Sunreports that the pair have been dating in secret for months (seems about right) and that Taylor is "besotted" with him.

They add that she's been spending lots of time in London with him, using wigs, scarves and hats as a disguise.

"Taylor and Joe are the real deal, this is a very serious relationship," a source tells the newspaper. ".Taylor has flown in via private jets and her security has made it a military-like mission to prevent her from being seen."

1 June 2017:

As well as Taylor's Mission Impossible-style visits to the UK, Joe also flies to see Taylor in New York, reports E! News.

"Taylor and Joe have really tried to be on lockdown and have spent most of their time together in private locations where they could get to know each other without the pressure of a public relationship and people making judgement calls," a source tells the outlet.

2 June 2017:

E! News covers the story a day later, reporting that Joe has finally met. the squad.

Apparently, Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid, as well as other "close friends", had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know their pals' new beau.

5 June 2017:

Taylor and Joe are pictured together for the first time in a paparazzi shot. The two are seen enjoying coffee on a balcony in Nashville, Tennessee and Taylor is smiling. Cute! It's reported that Joe is there to meet the parents. Dun dun dunnnn.

As well as this, reports that Taylor is house-hunting in London - the city where none other than bloomin' Joe lives - also do the rounds.

26 July 2017:

Taylor and Joe are photographed again, however, this time they're really trying not to be. Pictures in the Mail Onlineshow the couple wearing hoodies and keeping their eyes to the ground as they leave the singer's New York City apartment.

5 September 2017:

Taylor is back with new music and everyone is freaking out trying to guess who and what all the songs are about. After all, she's had a fairly eventful couple of years since her last album.

One song '.Ready for It?' has fans divided over whether it's about Joe or her former love interest Harry Styles. But then. according to Buzzfeed, Taylor reportedly likes a Tumblr post breaking down the lyrics, with all signs pointing to them being about Joe.

21 September 2017:

The secret transatlantic visits show no slowing down and they've reportedly been made easier by Taylor's famous mates.

According to The Sun, taylor swift dating black guy, Cara Delevingne hosted the couple at her house in west London so that they could continue to keep the whole thing on the DL while visiting Joe's family and friends.

"She's trying to keep a low profile with Joe and staying with Cara has let her do that," a source told the tabloid. ". They can even walk Cara's dog round the local park without anyone batting an eyelid."

20 October 2017:

Another song from Taylor's forthcoming album Reputation drops and it's called 'Gorgeous'.

According to fans, Taylor told them taylor swift dating black guy song was about Joe during one of her secret listening sessions.

This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

Lyrics include: "You should take it as a compliment / That I got drunk and made fun of why marriage is better than dating way you talk / You should think about he consequence / Of your magnetic field being a little too strong /And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us."

Firstly, Joe is British and Dating site online is American which could explain the whole making fun of the way you talk thing. Secondly, her two previous boyfriends have been in their 30s and therefore older than Joe.

26 October 2017:

Taylor's BFF Ed Sheeran pipes up, telling a radio station he thinks Joe is a "good dude".

Giving the seal of approval, the 'Shape of You' singer tells Capital London's Breakfast Show: "He's really nice. Really, really friendly, really good dude".

3 November 2017:

The fourth song from Reputation drops and this time it's 'Call It What You Want' which fans think seems to include a mix of references about both the Kimye feud and Joe.

Here are the lyrics which might be about Joe:

"My baby's fly like a jet stream/ High above the whole scene" - potentially referencing that Joe is not as famous as some of Swift's previous love interests.

10 November 2017:

Taylor's 15-track album is released in taylor swift dating black guy, proving plenty more lyrics for us to try and dissect. Among the many fan theories pointing to lines about Joe, a couple are:

'Don't Blame Me': "I've been breaking hearts a long time, and toying with them older guys just to play things for me to use / Don't blame me, your love made me crazy / My drug is my baby / I'll be using for the rest of my life"

The fact that Taylor seems to talk about the future in the last line indicates she's singing about a current relationship, i.e. her and Joe.

'Delicate': "My reputation's never been worse, so you must like me for me / Dark taylor swift dating black guy and your Nikes, look at you / Oh damn, never seen that colour blue."

It's fair to say Taylor's public reputation took a bash during the time she met Joe, which she could be hinting at when she describes how the mysterious subject of the song was into her regardless.

He also has very blue eyes, we might add.

6 April 2018:

Taylor is reportedly keen to buy a £30m house in north London's Crouch End, so she can "set down roots" near where Joe and his family live.

A source told The Sun:“Taylor loves the UK and how she can live a relatively normal life without being disturbed," the source said. “Setting down roots is something she’s thought long and hard about.

Despite it making it very very hard for fans to get updates on how their relationship is going, being secretive is apparently the key to making things work between Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn.

According to a source atPeople, "Keeping it private from the beginning really helped their relationship. They were able to get to know each other in peace."

While there are rumours going around that Joe is planning a proposal, Taylor is apparently just happy to be with him whatever happens. "Taylor really got lucky to meet Joe, and she is the first one to say it,” a source said. “Joe really is one of a kind.”
