Taylor Swift has made a statement about her 72-month (6-year) relationship with Joe Alwyn. She placed 72 mailboxes of “The Tortured Poets Department” in the heart of downtown Chicago.

Among them, six mailboxes contained six wedding invitations that had not been sent. It can be inferred that Taylor implicitly confirmed that they were almost getting married, but in the end, the wedding did not take place.

The pop star may discuss her breakup with Joe Alwyn on “The Tortured Poets Department.” She often draws inspiration for her songs from her personal life.

“The Tortured Poets Department,” Taylor Swift’s eleventh studio album, is finally here (Swifties, rejoice!). The album, scheduled for release on Friday, is said to focus on her split from British actor and ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Although Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce have since moved on, fans are eager to learn everything there is to know about the pop superstar’s past romance.

Swift and Alwyn were initially connected in October 2016. After dating for over six years, the two began creating songs together. Before their breakup in April 2023, they hardly disclosed any information publicly about their relationship. Everything you need to know about Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn’s romance, from start to finish, is provided here.

Swift and Alwyn kept it low-key from the start. Swift was romantically involved with actor Tom Hiddleston, a fellow Brit, prior to her engagement with Alwyn.

They had a short-lived relationship before breaking up in September 2016. While the exact details of how Swift and Alwyn first met are unclear, it is believed that they were introduced at the May 2016 Met Gala. Swift may have alluded to their initial encounter in her song lyrics, referencing his buzz cut and her bleached hair.

Shortly after ending her relationship with Hiddleston, Swift and Alwyn were photographed together at a Kings of Leon concert in New York City in October. The following month, Swift attended a screening of Alwyn’s film, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. In a diary entry from January 2017, during the early stages of their relationship, Swift hinted at their involvement.
