On December 13, on her 35th birthday, Taylor Swift gave her fans a surprise when she simultaneously released a number of BTS videos (short for: Behind The Scenes) of MVs such as: Anti-Hero, cardigan, Bejeweled, Fortnight, I Can See You, Karma , posted on the singer’s official YouTube channel.
Notably, in the BTS video of MV Bejeweled , the moment Taylor Swift held the phone in her hand and the screen was visible caused a stir among netizens. Accordingly, Taylor Swift’s phone wallpaper is said to be a photo of the singer with her then boyfriend, British actor Joe Alwyn, with a sweet and affectionate gesture. This moment was also spread at a dizzying speed on social networks by Taylor Swift’s fan community.
However, recently, when fans rewatched the BTS video of the MV Bejeweled , they discovered that Taylor Swift’s phone screen was blurred. This sparked a theory among the female singer’s fan community that Taylor Swift’s team promptly edited the video to remove all images of the Kinds of Kindness actor.
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn reportedly started dating in late 2016, after Taylor split from Tom Hiddleston. The couple maintained a low-key relationship for six years before quietly splitting in early 2023.
Shortly after breaking up with Joe Alwyn, Taylor Swift had an affair with rock singer Matty Healy, born in 1975, but the relationship only lasted a month. That summer, the singer began dating her current boyfriend, football star Travis Kelce.
Previously, Joe Alwyn shared with the media about breaking up with Taylor Swift after a long period of silence. The actor shared: “I hope that everyone can sympathize and understand the difficulties of ending a long-term, loving and devoted relationship that lasted more than six and a half years.”
Joe Alwyn said it was a “difficult thing to deal with” when he saw strangers “judge” the breakup: “So you have something very real suddenly thrown into a very unreal space: tabloids, social media, newspapers, where it’s then dissected, speculated upon, pulled out of shape to the point of being unrecognizable.
And the truth is, until that last point, there will always be a gap between what is known and what is said. “I’ve accepted that,” the actor added.
