Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have broken up, multiple media outlets reported on Saturday.
The split, first reported by Entertainment Tonight, occurred “a few weeks ago” and “was not dramatic.”
The relationship between Swift and the British actor, who began dating in late 2016, was reportedly going swell ahead of the singer’s “Midnights” album release in October.
Swift has worked with Alwyn on a number of her projects, including “Folklore” and “Evermore.” He won a Grammy Award for his role in 2021.
That same year, she gave Alwyn a shoutout after winning the Grammy for Album of the Year.
Swift said her relationship with Alwyn served as inspiration for her song “Lavender Haze,” a phrase she learned describes being in love.
“When you’re in the ‘lavender haze,’ you’ll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you off of that cloud,” she said, noting how she and Alwyn have had to protect their relationship from the outside world.
“We’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it,” the singer continued. “And so this song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff.”
Both Swift and Alwyn have yet to publicly address the reports, international media outlets reported.
