In particular, fans have been eager to figure out which of Swift's songs are about Alwyn, with many speculating that hits like "Lover" and "Call It What You Want" are inspired by their love story.

“I’m aware people want to know about that side of things,” Alwyn told Vogue in 2018.

“I think we have been successfully very private and that has now sunk in for people.”

Swift echoed the actor’s sentiments in her 2020 documentary, “Miss Americana.”

“We decided together we wanted our relationship to be private,” she said.

“Even though [my public image in 2016] was really horrible, I was happy.”

She continued, “But I wasn’t happy in the way I was trained to be happy. It was happiness without anyone else’s input. We were just… happy.”

The “Lavender Haze” songstress’ exes famously include Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, Harry Styles, Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston.
