Taylor Swift’s New Album Sparks Speculation About Ex Joe Alwyn: Fans Find Evidence in ‘The Tortured Poets Department’
Taylor Swift has once again sent her fans into a frenzy with the announcement of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. The album, which Swift has been working on for the past two years, has led fans to speculate that it could be about her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. The couple, who dated for six years, quietly ended their relationship last March, leaving fans curious about the inspiration behind Swift’s new music.
Despite the media and fan chatter linking Alwyn to the album, the British actor has remained tight-lipped about the project. However, on Monday, Alwyn made his first social media post since Swift’s announcement. In typical Alwyn fashion, the Instagram post was captionless, featuring a series of black and white photos that captured moments from his life. The choice of black and white imagery is particularly interesting, as it mirrors the album art of Swift’s upcoming release.
Interestingly, Alwyn disabled comments on the post, further fueling speculation about his involvement in Swift’s album. Fans have taken this as a sign that he is unbothered by the rumors and is choosing to distance himself from the conversation surrounding him and Swift.
A source close to Alwyn spoke to Daily Mail about his perspective on the album. According to the insider, Alwyn has remained respectful and silent about his relationship with Swift. The source revealed that the name of Swift’s upcoming album is actually a reference to a WhatsApp group chat that Alwyn was a part of. During their time together, Swift expressed her disapproval of the name, as she didn’t want people to associate it with her. However, when Alwyn spoke out about it, it clearly bothered her.
Despite this, Alwyn has no reason to believe that Swift will use the album as a platform to diss him or their relationship. Swift has a history of writing about her past using code and points of reference, so it’s possible that she is simply reflecting on their time together. Alwyn is hopeful that the album is nothing more than that. However, if it does turn out to be a diss album, it would come as a shock to him, as he has chosen not to speak about their breakup at all.
It’s worth noting that Alwyn has played a significant role in Swift’s music career, even contributing to her songwriting under the pseudonym William Bowery on her previous albums, Folklore and Evermore. If Swift does choose to address their breakup in her new album, it will undoubtedly be a surprising turn of events for Alwyn.
Regardless of what Swift’s intentions may be, Alwyn has made it clear that he will not respond. He has removed himself from her narrative and is content with his decision to do so. While fans eagerly await the release of The Tortured Poets Department, it remains to be seen whether Swift’s ex-boyfriend will play a prominent role in the album’s narrative or if it will simply serve as a reflection of their past relationship.
