Joe Alwyn

In an interview with The Guardian, Joe Alwyn shared far more about his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift than he usually does and their Grammy wins.

“That was a surreal bonus of lockdown,” he said. He added, “I mean fun is such a stupid word, but it was a lot of fun. It was just like baking sourdough in lockdown...The Grammy was obviously this ridiculous bonus.” When asked if he and Swift had discussed this kind of response to questions about them, Alwyn answered, “Erm. It was just like, well, why? “I mean, I’m aware of people’s … of that size of interest, and that world existing. Some of Swift's songs supposedly contain references to Alwyn, particularly her 2019 song “London Boy.” But they say very little on the record about one another.

Joe Alwyn is still not interested in discussing his five-year relationship with Taylor Swift, but their musical partnership is a whole other story.

It was just like baking sourdough in lockdown.” Winning a Grammy, he said, was a "ridiculous bonus.” (“If you and I were having a glass of wine right now, we’d be talking about it – but it’s just that it goes out into the world,” Swift said at the time.) On Swift's surprise ninth album, Evermore, Alwyn is credited on “Champagne Problems,” “Coney Island,” and “Evermore.”

“It wasn’t like, ‘It’s 5 o’clock, it’s time to try and write a song together,'” he shared. The pair have largely kept details about their relationship under wraps ever since. Joe Alwyn describes his Grammy win with girlfriend Taylor Swift as a “surreal bonus”

As Alwyn explained to the outlet, he and Swift hadn’t planned on working together, it came about organically. “It wasn’t like, ‘It’s 5 o’clock, it’s time to try and write a song together,'” he shared. While the British star is most known for his acting roles in The Favourite and the upcoming series Conversations With Friends, he became a professional songwriter during lockdown, collaborating with his longtime girlfriend Taylor Swift on her albums folklore and evermore.
