Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn broke up after six long years of dating. A source close to the singer explained that the two parted ways on good terms.

According to ET, the pair had broken up a few weeks ago, and “it was not dramatic. The relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.” Additionally, People also mentions how Swift and Alwyn talked about marriage, and how he struggled with Swift’s fame.

Their personalities also made it easier for the pair to know they weren’t compatible for the long haul. “The differences in their personalities have also become harder to ignore after years together. They’ve grown apart,” the source mentioned to People. They also explained how “[Alwyn] has struggled with Taylor’s level of fame and the attention from the public.”

The outlet’s main source mentions “They [were] able to continue growing their relationship in this insulated way [during COVID]. But he didn’t really ‘know’ her yet outside of that bubble.” The source also adds how their relationship wasn’t always great. “Friends thought they would take some time apart [now] but eventually come back together. Ultimately [they] weren’t the right fit for one another.”

Contrary to the present situation, People earlier reported that Alwyn was supposed to travel with Swift for her tour. His absence also led her massive fanbase to speculate the status of their relationship.

Although Swift and Alwyn’s relationship was kept private, we know that many of the songs that she is performing for her tour right now are dedicated to their love story. Swift even confirmed that “Lavender Haze” was inspired by Alwyn himself, as she explains the phrase “If you were in the lavender haze that meant you were in that all-encompassing love glow. I thought that was really beautiful.”

According to Elle, the two exes are friendly and are even moving on. The source also noted, “Taylor is staying very focused on her tour right now. There is a lot of respect still between them.”
