Singer Taylor Swift and British actor Joe Alwyn have ended their romantic relationship, according to ET. Apparently, the couple broke up several weeks ago, and sources consulted by ET suggest that the breakup was friendly and not dramatic. The reason for the separation was simply that their courtship had come to an end following the natural course of things.

However, Alwyn has not been seen at any of the singer’s recent concerts, showing that the relationship may be broken. . For her part, Swift, who is currently on her The Eras tour, has not commented on the split.

In fact, Swift released her tenth studio album, Midnights, in October, and the singer herself claimed that the album’s opening song, Lavender Haze, is inspired by her relationship with Alwyn: “If you were in the lavender haze it meant that you were in that all-encompassing glow of love. I thought it was so beautiful.”

Also, the song explores the idea of ​​being in love and trying to ignore outside distractions like rumors and tabloid stories, something they’re both used to: “As in my relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge rumors Weird, tabloid stuff and we just ignore it. This song is about the act of ignoring those things to protect the real ones.”

Swift and Alwyn were keeping their relationship private, as the singer is known for being fiercely protective of her private life. Despite rumors and speculation over the years, the couple have shrugged off gossip in the tabloids and kept their relationship out of the public eye.
