Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn Reportedly Haven’t Been “in Touch” Since the Release of ‘TTPD’

No one was spared on Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department—not Matty Healy, not Kim Kardashian, and definitely not her former longtime boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. But despite all the not-so-subtle references to their six-year relationship on the 31-song track list, the pop star and the actor reportedly haven’t had a conversation about it.
According to a source at Entertainment Tonight, Swift and Alwyn haven’t been “in touch” with each other recently, nor have they discussed the songs on the record that are supposedly about him. “Taylor and Joe are not in touch at this point, but they try to be respectful of one another,” the insider shared, adding: “Joe wants to keep his personal life private. He is more introverted and the interest about his personal life is a bit overwhelming to him. He is focused on acting and his career.”

Swift, on the other hand, is “focused on her future” with Travis Kelce, as she’s “happier than ever” in their relationship.

As for if Alwyn has listened to Swift’s new album? A source at The Daily Mail says yes but not to expect him to share his thoughts. “Joe has listened to the album, and he is slightly disappointed but not surprised at all,” they explained. “She didn’t really trash him or defame him. Joe is not going to react to this.”

And he especially won’t be talking about it during his upcoming press tour for the film Kinds of Kindness, as he reportedly “banned” the media from asking him about their relationship. “He has a movie coming out that he is focused on,” the insider continued. “He will be doing press—but will not be entertaining any Taylor questions.”
