Taylor Swift is engaged to Joe Alwyn: report

Taylor Swift is reportedly engaged to boyfriend Joe Alwyn, according to the Sun.

The outlet claims the actor popped the question months ago, but the two have ā€œonly toldā€ their inner circle.

ā€œBasically immediate family, and trusted, very old friends,ā€ the source said. ā€œEveryone has been sworn to secrecy, too.ā€

The informant further alleged that Swift only wears her “beautiful ring” in private.

ā€œAgain, only a handful of people know details about the wedding and Taylor hasnā€™t even told some of her team about the engagement,” the source continued.

ā€œThey want their love to stay away from the cameras as much as possible. This is just for them. And if and when they do exchange vows, there most definitely wonā€™t be any Vogue, Rolling Stone or Hello! magazines there. It will be simple and elegant — like them.ā€

Page Six has reached out to reps for Swift and Alwyn for comment.

Back in April, Alwyn addressed rumors claiming he secretly proposed to Swift in an interview with WSJ. Magazine.

ā€œIf I had a pound for every time I think Iā€™ve been told Iā€™ve been engaged, then Iā€™d have a lot of pound coins,ā€ he said at the time.

ā€œI mean, the truth is, if the answer was yes, I wouldnā€™t say, and if the answer was no, I wouldnā€™t say.ā€

Back in February, Life & Style was the first outlet to report Swift and Alwyn were engaged.

While Swift, 32, and Alwyn, 31, have remained notoriously private as a couple since they were first linked in 2017, this certainly isnā€™t the first time there have been reports of an engagement.

In January 2020, Swift herself added fuel to the rumor mill with what looked like a large diamond ring on her left ring finger in her Netflix documentary, ā€œMiss Americana.ā€

ā€œIā€™m aware people want to know about that side of things,ā€ Alwyn told Vogue back in 2018. ā€œI think we have been successfully very private and that has now sunk in for people ā€¦ but I really prefer to talk about work.ā€

However, Swift subsequently brought Alwyn into her work: He helped co-write two tracks on her 2020 album ā€œFolkloreā€ ā€” ā€œExileā€ and ā€œBettyā€ ā€” under the pseudonym William Bowery, and also contributed to the tunes ā€œevermoreā€ and ā€œChampagne Problemsā€ on ā€œFolkloreā€™sā€ sister album, ā€œEvermore.ā€

In her acceptance speech at the 2021 Grammy Awards, Swift thanked Alwyn, saying, ā€œJoe, who is the first person that I play every single song that I write,ā€ before continuing, ā€œAnd I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine.ā€

In November 2020, Swift told no less an authority on the pressures of maintaining a life in the public eye than Paul McCartney that ā€œbeing in the relationship I am in now, I have definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real life and less like just a storyline to be commented on in tabloids.ā€

Previously in the interview, she said, “I canā€™t control if thereā€™s going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow.ā€
