Did Joe Alwyn cheat on Taylor Swift ahead of their breakup?
By all accounts, Joe is dreading Taylor’s new album. The Tortured Poets Department seemingly refers to him in the title … and the tracklist will certainly illuminate their breakup.
In fact, Taylor may already be using The Eras Tour to drop hints about it.
Is she confirming that Joe cheated on her?
Taylor Swift seems to be dropping hints that Joe Alwyn cheated
As part of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour run in Australia, Taylor performed in Melbourne on February 17.
Her acoustic set included a mashup of three particular songs from three different albums.
“Getaway Car” is from Reputation, “August” is from Folklore, and “The Other Side of the Door” is from Fearless (Taylor’s Version).
“So getaway car is from the perspective of the cheater, August is from the perspective of the other woman, and the other side of the door from the perspective of the woman who was cheated on,” speculated one Swiftie on social media.
Another pointed out that individual lyrics seem to point to some sort of “mess” involving another woman and “three” people total.
Maybe people are reading too much into it. But, at the same time, Taylor used songs to hint at the Joe Alwyn breakup a year ago.
‘The Tortured Poets Department’ should answer a lot of questions
After once again making Grammy Awards history, Taylor Swift announced her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Obviously, this project was long in the works, yet still secret. Taylor will release her new album on April 19.
And Swifties fully expect that the album will shed light upon her split with Joe Alwyn. After all, the two were in a very serious, very private relationship for six years.
Last spring, Emma Laird shared a photo on Instagram of herself and Joe Alwyn. The two were costars in Brutalist.
Rumors quickly emerged that he had moved on from Taylor and gotten with her.
Some Swifties speculated that the timeline was not as smooth and sequential as that. Without evidence, fans wondered if Joe had cheated.
Taylor has yet to confirm literally any of this
Many of Taylor Swift’s fans have spoken against these rumors. It’s not that they’re defending Joe Alwyn — it’s that they don’t like hearing unfounded accusations, or hearing fans put words into Taylor’s mouth.
By all accounts, the actual reason for Taylor and Joe’s split had to do with their busy schedules, with Taylor’s massive level of fame (contrasting with Joe’s fondness for privacy), and just growing apart as couples sometimes do.
Until Taylor Swift herself says that Joe Alwyn is a cheat, a lot of people aren’t prepared to believe it.
