Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn were once a beloved couple until they called it quits in April 2023. Swifties, of course, were shocked over news of the split — leaving many wondering why they ended things. Now that Taylor has released her double album The Tortured Poets Department, many are investigating the possible clues behind their breakup. Keep reading to learn everything we know about Taylor and Joe’s breakup.
Taylor’s fans are convinced that she hinted at the reason for her and Joe’s breakup in her song “You’re Losing Me.” The track is about a romance that was fizzling out for a long time. To add fuel to this fire, music collaborator Jack Antonoff later revealed that “You’re Losing Me” was actually written in 2021 when Taylor and Joe were still together.
“My heart won’t start anymore for you / ‘Cause you’re losing me,” she sings in one portion of the song. The chorus features Taylor contemplating whether or not she should stay in the relationship, as she sings, “Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?”
Toward the end of the track, the “Cruel Summer” artist reveals she wanted marriage, but the person she is singing about did not. “And I wouldn’t marry me either / A pathological people pleaser / Who only wanted you to see her,” she adds in another verse.
“How long could we be a sad song / ‘Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?” Taylor continues in the last verse. “I gave you all my best me’s, my endless empathy / And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier / Fighting in only your army / Frontlines, don’t you ignore me, I’m the best thing at this party.”
Entertainment Tonight reported that the split “was more of Taylor’s decision to break up, but both of them realized that they weren’t completely right for one another.”
“Taylor and Joe are in totally different places in their lives right now,” a source told the outlet in April, shortly after the pair called it quits. “They had been together for such a long time and were spending so much time together, but their personalities were just too different. Joe is more introverted, shy and quiet.”
