Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn have "split" after six years of dating, according to reports. According to ET, the pair's split was "amicable" and was "not dramatic", with a source telling the publication: "The relationship had just run its course. It's why [Alwyn] hasn't been spotted at any shows." Multi-award winning Taylor, 33, and her British actor beau, 32, first got together in 2016 and kept their relationship notoriously private, never even making a red carpet appearance together.
Just two weeks ago a source told PEOPLE of their relationship: "Joe will travel with her [on tour] when he can.They are great together. Joe is super supportive of her career." OK! has contacted Taylor and Joe's representatives for comment. Taylor has famously written songs that have been influenced by her love life, which includes stars such as Harry Styles, and it was no different when she penned her hit track Lavender Haze, which is about someone being in the throes of love.
"I happened on the phrase 'lavender haze' when I was watching Mad Men, and I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it's a common phrase used in the '50s where they would just describe being in love," she said at the time. "If you were in the lavender haze that meant you were in that all-encompassing love glow. I thought that was really beautiful." "I guess, theoretically, when you're in the lavender haze you'll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of that cloud.
