Joe Alwyn Breaks His Silence on Taylor Swift’s ‘Hard’ Breakup

He added that there’s a lot people don’t know, even with everything sources have said and Swift herself has shared through her art. “So you have something very real suddenly thrown into a very unreal space: the tabloids, social media, the press, where it is then dissected, speculated, distorted and made unrecognizable,” he explained. “And the truth is that, on this last point, there will always be a gap between what is known and what is said. I’ve made peace with that.

Alwyn also reiterated the choice he and Swift made to keep their romance as private as possible when asked about some of the conspiracy theories surrounding their split. “As everyone knows, we decided together – both of us, mutually – to keep the most private details of our relationship private. This has never been something to be commodified, and I see no reason to change that now. And look, it’s also been a little over a year now, and I feel lucky to be in a really great place in my life, professionally and personally.

When asked directly if Swift published Tortured poetswhere she sings about their relationship makes Alwyn more willing to talk about it, he repeated, “Well, like I said, there’s always going to be a gap between what’s known and what’s said.”

He declined to say whether he was in contact with Swift or dating again: “I’m sure you can understand, given the level of noise and scrutiny over my past relationship, why I wouldn’t not just open the door to things like that right now.

But he offered a little fact check: He denied ever going to the Black Dog, the pub in London’s Vauxhall that Swift fans thought Swift might sing about in her song of the same name. (Other fans believe the song is about Matty Healy, the British musician Swift dated briefly after Alwyn.) “I’ve never been to Vauxhall,” he said with a telling smile, the outlet noted.

He said that in general he tries to ignore the worst online comments about him: “I try to turn the volume down. I have obviously been informed of this and I think that mistreating anyone, whether in person or behind the anonymity of a keyboard, is shameful.
