Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have always been quite open about their high-profile relationship, never hesitating to express their love for each other. However, this was not the case when the billionaire pop star was in a long-term relationship with her ex-boyfriend, popular Hollywood actor Joe Alwyn. Ahead of her wedding, her comments about being with Joe Alwyn have stirred up controversy.
Taylor Swift's Comments on Her Relationship with Joe Alwyn Raise Eyebrows
Back in 2023, in an interview with TIME, when asked about her highly public relationship with Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift said, "When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care."
The billionaire pop star added, "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone. And we're just proud of each other." The "Life of a Showgirl" artist continued, "Me locking myself away in my house for a lot of years—I'll never get that time back. I'm more trusting now than I was six years ago."
Interestingly, Taylor Swift's comments have now resurfaced, and many feel she was taking a subtle dig at the six long years she spent with Joe Alwyn in private.
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn's Private Relationship
For those unaware, both Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn were strictly private about their lives. The two met at the MET Gala in 2016 and quickly entered into a relationship. Since 2016, both Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn avoided making public appearances together. Shockingly, the two were often spotted even running away from paparazzi at events as they remained private about their high-profile relationship.
However, when Taylor Swift ended things with Joe Alwyn in 2023, she became much more public about her life. Her brief relationship with Matty Healy was relatively public before she fell in love with Travis Kelce.
