Everything comes to a natural conclusion, and so it is with Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn.
The blonde couple had been dating for six years. Alwyn even got to the point where he was getting songwriting credits on her recent albums. If he owns his publishing, he’ll be getting checks forever.
Swift is famous for writing songs about exes like John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal. With this breakup, Swift fans are guaranteed years and years of new failed romance songs, exigeses on ending long term relationships. The fans will be parsing these songs for years to come, even though no one else cares. Alwyn should prepare himself.
Swift, of course, is on a major tour through August 9th. And that’s just the first leg. She should be on tour for two years or more, around the world. Alwyn has a job — to make movies. It’s a classic “A Star is Born” story. If there hadn’t been pandemic, this probably would have happened two or three years ago.
Credit for the break up news I guess goes to Entertainment Tonight. Apparently Alwyn has been absent so far from the tour, which gave someone the idea they were kaput.
Some suggestions for new Swift beaus: Pete Davidson, of course, and Rupert Murdoch.
