In the words of the former country-pop starlet herself, this news has broken us like a promise.
After more than half a decade, Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have decided to call it quits – and netizens keep on making the same joke.
According to the outlet, the split was amicable as opposed to “dramatic”. Their six-year romance had simply run its course. This explains why the Conversations with Friends actor hadn’t been spotted at any of Swift’s concerts recently.

Swift recently confirmed that her single ‘Lavender Haze’ was inspired by her relationship with Alwyn.
“I happened on the phrase ‘lavender haze’ when I was watching Mad Men, and I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it’s a common phrase used in the ’50s where they would just describe being in love,” she said, per the outlet. “If you were in the lavender haze that meant you were in that all-encompassing love glow. I thought that was really beautiful.”
“Like my relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff and we just ignore it. This song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff.”
It didn’t take long for fans to take to their respective social media accounts and inject a bit of comic relief into what is naturally a sad piece of news. And they all kept referencing Swift’s tendency to write break up bangers about her exes.
