Joe Alwyn has ‘moved on’ from Taylor Swift and is ‘dating and happy’ amid Tortured Poets Department release: ‘It just didn’t work out’
While Taylor Swift is enjoying her new relationship and a new musical era, her former flames are also moving on.
A source said People that the Grammy Award winner’s ex Joe Alwyn is ‘dating and happy’ amid the release of her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.
“He’s a great guy and doesn’t like drama in any way,” the insider said, noting that Alwyn, 33, “moved on” from Swift, 34.
After their six-year relationship ended last year, the source said he’s “definitely not talking bad about her,” adding, “He was in love with her, and it just didn’t work out.”
Alwyn is doing “well” and “focused on his work,” as the source noted: “Joe loves acting but can’t stand the attention that comes with it. He’s not comfortable in the spotlight.’

Swift appeared to take aim at Alwyn on several songs from TTPD, leaving him “slightly disappointed, but not at all surprised,” a source previously told DailyMail.com.
“There has been absolutely no contact between them,” they said. “She didn’t sing these songs to him, but he didn’t expect her to either.”
The source added, “She didn’t really trash or slander him. Joe is not going to respond to this.”
Alwyn has since reportedly ruled out any questions about the album and his relationship with Swift from the upcoming press tour for his film Kinds of Kindness.
The British actor coincidentally stars alongside Swift’s friend Emma Stone in the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film.
Swift dated Alwyn from 2017 to 2023, during which the fourteen-time Grammy winner largely withdrew from the spotlight.
They won a Grammy together for Album of the Year in 2021 after he co-wrote and co-produced several songs on Folklore under the pseudonym William Bowery.
The pair were also nominated for the same award a year later for Evermore.
Meanwhile, the Boy Erased actor refused to publicly discuss their relationship.

After TTPD was released this month, Swift shared a statement about letting go of the “sensational and sad” time that inspired the album
In 2022 Alwyn said Harper’s Bazaar that he “can understand” the interest in their relationship, “but I don’t see why these questions should always be answered.”
‘I absolutely expect people to ask those questions [about their, if I’m putting work into the world, of course people are going to ask about that,’ he added.
After TTPD dropped this month, Swift shared a statement about letting go of the ‘sensational and sorrowful’ time that inspired the album.
‘This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up,’ she wrote. ‘There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed.
‘And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted,’ added Swift.
‘This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it. And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.’
The Tortured Poets Department is now available for streaming and download.
