Taylor Swift, but, in a raging case of ‘you win some, you lose some’, has evidently only left us wanting more info.More! we tells you.For those making a home under a rock recently, the Conversations With Friends star has been dating chart-topper Taylor for five years, but the pair of them have managed to keep remarkably shtum on their romance (and whether or not they’re engaged).Fair play to them, we’ll give them that, but Joe’s take on the palaver around the interest is the less they talk about their relationship the less we’ll care about it.Opening up about his ability to keep his life relatively ‘normal’ despite having a headline-grabbing relationship, he told GQ Hype: ‘I think because the precedent was set – that our choice is to be private and not feed that side of things – the more you do that, hopefully, the more that intrusiveness or intrigue drops off.’ As much as he might believe that, it’s clearly not the case, with interest piqued even more so when it was revealed Joe was THE William Bowery credited on several of Taylor’s songs from her albums folklore and evermore.Joe helped pen some of the lyrics which earned Taylor some Grammys, with the Shake It Off singer eventually going on to praise her boyfriend’s songwriting talents.However, according to Joe, the whole thing was ‘accidental’.He said: ‘It was just messing around on a piano and singing badly and being overheard and then thinking, you know, what if we tried to get to the end of it together?’Dubbing the whole process a ‘perk of lockdown’, he added: ‘The idea was that people would just listen to the music rather than focus on the fact that we wrote it together.
