Joe Alwyn Opens Up About Relationship with Taylor Swift and Collaborating on Folklore and Evermore

English actor Joe Alwyn has made it clear that he will not succumb to the public’s curiosity about his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. The London-born actor, known for his role in the war drama Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, opened up about his stance on privacy in a recent interview with The Guardian.

Alwyn, 31, expressed his disinterest in feeding into the public’s obsession with celebrity relationships, stating, “It’s just not for other people. I don’t know how best to talk about it.” He emphasized the importance of maintaining boundaries and avoiding the intrusion that comes with sharing personal details with the world.

Despite his reluctance to discuss his relationship with Swift, Alwyn did touch upon their professional collaboration. The actor worked with Swift on her albums Folklore and Evermore, under the pseudonym William Bowery. Their work together resulted in critical acclaim, with Folklore winning the Album of the Year Grammy in 2021.

Describing the experience of working with Swift as a “surreal bonus of lockdown,” Alwyn highlighted the organic nature of their creative process. He emphasized that their collaboration was born out of spontaneity and shared interests, rather than a calculated effort to produce music for public consumption.

As Alwyn gears up for his role in the upcoming BBC adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Conversations With Friends, he remains steadfast in his commitment to prioritizing meaningful work over succumbing to the pressures of celebrity culture. With a focus on authenticity and creativity, Alwyn continues to navigate the complexities of fame with grace and integrity.
