Every Taylor Swift Love Song Inspired by Joe Alwyn: From ‘Daylight’ to ‘Delicate’ and More

Never walking Cornelia Street again. Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn were together for nearly six years before their split — and the singer provided glimpses into their love story through her music.

The Grammy winner and England native were first linked in May 2017 after meeting at the Met Gala the year prior. While the twosome were immensely private about their romance — and ultimately called it quits in April 2023 — Swift often shared details about their relationship through song, even cowriting a few tracks with her beau for her albums Folklore, Evermore and Midnights.   “Joe and I really love sad songs.

We’ve always bonded over music. … We write the saddest. We just really love sad songs. What can I say?” Swift told Zane Lowe on his Apple Music show in December 2022. “And I say it was a surprise that we started writing together, but in a way, it wasn’t because we have always bonded over music and had the same musical tastes.

And he’s always the person who’s showing me songs by artists and then they become my favorite songs.” When Swift won Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammy’s for Folklore, the Conversations With Friends actor was one of the people she thanked.   “[Joe], he is the first person who I play every new song I write,” Swift gushed during her acceptance speech. “And I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine.” While Alwyn was credited under the pseudonym William Bowrey on songs including “Champagne Problems,” “Exile” and “Betty” — which are all tracks about breakups — some of Swift’s most epic love ballads came from her relationship with the Mary Queen of Scots actor.
