Joe Alwyn steps out solo to Cannes Film Festival while ex Taylor Swift puts on a loved up display with boyfriend Travis Kelce in Lake Como

Joe Alwyn continued to put on a defiant display as he stepped out solo on the Kinds Of Kindness red carpet at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival on Friday.

The actor’s outing comes as his ex, Taylor Swift, 34, made a lovey-dovey appearance with boyfriend Travis Kelce, also 34, as they enjoyed a romantic getaway in Lake Como.

Joe looked dapper in a classic black two-piece suit layered over a crisp white shirt at the premiere of his latest film, Kinds Of Kindness.

The movie star, 33, who plays Jerry in the film, looked classically handsome and he completed his look with a pair of shiny black suit shoes.

Joe posed confidently as he smoldered down the barrel of the cameras.

The actor’s outing comes as his ex, Taylor Swift, made a lovey-dovey appearance with boyfriend Travis Kelce as they enjoyed a romantic getaway in Lake Como.

The actor completed his look with black sunglasses and a thin black tie.

But as he looked confident in front of the cameras, his ex, Taylor, looked smitten with her husband Travis.

They enjoyed a romantic day on the water this week during their trip to Lake Como, Italy, during a break in the European leg of her The Eras Tour, which kicks off again in Sweden on Friday.

The superstar singer and the Kansas City Chiefs star who were spotted enjoying a candlelit dinner at a €20,000-a-night villa at the five-star Grand Hotel Tremezzo, were seen kissing as they cuddled in a water taxi.

Taylor resumes her tour in Stockholm, Sweden at the Friends Arena on May 17, 18 and 19.

Last month she released a number of ferocious songs about their failed six-year relationship on the record, The Tortured Poets Department.

It came almost a year after the end of Joe’s relationship with Taylor.

Joe is turning his attention to promoting his upcoming film, Kinds of Kindness (pictured with co-star Emma Stone) and is said to have banned questions about Taylor during the promotion

Taylor may have accused Joe of disrupting her dreams of marriage and children by posting new lyrics on her album, but the British actor will maintain a degree of silence and has no plans to respond, insiders previously claimed.

Joe has never spoken publicly about his split from the singer, with whom he dated for six years from 2017 until their breakup in April 2023.

But Taylor has seemingly bared her soul about the breakdown of their romance on her latest album – with insiders claiming Joe has been left ‘disappointed’ and has banned any mention of the singer during the upcoming press tour for his new film, Kinds of Kindness. .

“There has been absolutely no contact between them,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘She didn’t play these songs because of him, but he didn’t expect her to either.

“Joe listened to the album and he’s a little disappointed, but not surprised at all.

“She didn’t really trash or discredit him. Joe is not going to respond to this.”

Taylor largely retreated from the spotlight during her time with Joe, with the super private couple rarely pictured together in public.

They won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2021 after Joe co-wrote and co-produced a number of songs on her album Folklore under the pseudonym William Bowery.

A year later they were also nominated for the same award for Evermore.

The insider explained that Joe was more than aware of Taylor’s songwriting process thanks to the songs they created together.

“Taylor leverages her relationships for almost all of her songs and he admires her artistry,” the insider added.

“He’s made a lot of money from the six songs he wrote for Taylor in the past and he’s grateful that their relationship also helped make him a household name.”

“There’s a movie coming out that he’s focused on,” the source said. ‘He will handle the press, but will not answer questions from Taylor.

“Joe has moved on. He doesn’t hold any grudges against her for doing what she does. He knows it was part of the course.”

Joe has never spoken publicly about his split from the singer, with whom he dated for six years from 2017 until their breakup in April 2023.

The album also seems to reference her brief conversation with frontman Matty Healy from 1975 (pictured) in the weeks following her divorce from Joe.

In previous years, the Boy Erased actor refused to talk publicly about their relationship.

“People on the street wouldn’t tell strangers about their personal lives, so why should I?” he said before they broke up last year.

In 2022, he told Harper’s Bazaar that he “can understand” the interest in their relationship since he is a public figure, before adding, “but I don’t see why these questions should always be answered.”

‘I absolutely expect people to ask those questions. If I put work out into the world, of course people will ask about it,” he added.

But despite being separated for a year, Taylor’s latest record has increased speculation about their romance, with the song appearing to accuse Joe of cheating and shattering her vision of the future in songs such as So Long, London and Fresh Out the Slammer.

After TTPD dropped, Taylor shared a statement about letting go of the “sensational and sad” time that inspired the album.

“This period in 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 the wounds are healed.

“And upon closer inspection, quite a few of the cases turned out to be self-inflicted.

‘This writer is convinced that our tears become sacred in the form of ink on a page. Once we have told our saddest story, we can be free from it. And then there remains only the tortured poetry.’

The album also seems to reference her brief 1975 conversation with frontman Matty Healy in the weeks following her divorce from Joe.
