The announcement comes while the Enchanted singer is on her sold-out Eras tour.
“Alwyn has not been spotted at any shows, although reports claimed just weeks ago the two stars were still going strong,” Insider wrote.
“Joe will travel with her when he can,” a source close to the couple told People in March. “They are great together. Joe is super supportive of her career.”
The couple was originally linked in May 2017 when it was revealed that they had been dating covertly for several months.

Throughout the years, the Grammy-winning singer and the British actor kept their relationship as private as possible.
“I’ve learned that if I do, people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,” Taylor Swift told The Guardian in 2019.

Another unidentified source close to the couple said in March 2020 that they had been contemplating their future and marriage.
“[They] have talked about their future and marriage. They don’t have a set deadline in place, but they’re very much in love. … [Joe] has always been a huge support and stuck by her.”
Taylor Swift and Joe have also worked on music over the years, which led to Taylor winning a Grammy in 2020.
“The pair also began collaborating on music together over the pandemic, culminating in a Grammy Awards win. 2020 sister albums Folklore and Evermore each included collaborations with Alwyn, who wrote several songs under the pseudonym William Bowery,” PEOPLE reported.

“Folklore ended up taking home the 2021 Grammy for album of the year and Evermore was nominated for the same award at the 2022 ceremony.”
During her winning speech, the Love Story singer thanked her then-boyfriend, saying,
“Joe is the first person that I play every single song that I write, and I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine.”
