Taylor Swift’s Publicist Just Angrily Shut Down Claims That Taylor Was Secretly Married To Joe Alwyn Before Their Split, And It’s So Out Of Character

Taylor and Joe’s split was announced in April after six and a half years together, and neither of them has ever publicly spoken about it.

However, in May, Taylor released a brand-new song called “You’re Losing Me,” which appeared to shed some light on what happened between them. 

The heartbreaking track is told from the point of view of somebody who is desperate for their partner to fight for their relationship, only to be left feeling like an “imposition.”

Taylor goes on to sing that she is “dying” in the relationship, and later defeatedly admits, “I wouldn’t marry me either.” She then begs her partner: “Do something, babe, say something / Lose something, babe, risk something / Choose something, babe, I’ve got nothing to believe unless you’re choosing me.”

When it was released, fans immediately put two and two together and assumed that it was about the demise of Taylor and Joe’s romance and had only recently been written and recorded — especially as Taylor had been spotted going in and out of a New York City recording studio in the weeks before its release. 

Sharing a candid picture of Taylor dressed down and eating raisins from a kitchen counter, Jack addressed the fact that the song was finally available to stream on Spotify by writing, “you’re losing me is out today. a very special track from midnights sessions that’s finally streaming! written and recorded at home on 12/5/21 right after taylor ate these raisins.”

And it wasn’t lost on Swifties that this means that Taylor wrote the devastating lyrics almost 18 months before her and Joe’s public split. It’s worth mentioning that she and Joe were spotted together throughout 2022, so it definitely isn’t the case that the breakup was simply kept a secret for that length of time. 

“Sweet Nothing” is one of the few love songs on Taylor's Midnights album and includes the lyric, “On the way home I wrote a poem / You say ‘What a mind’ / This happens all the time,” which many believed to be a recollection of an actual exchange that Taylor had with her then-boyfriend. 

However, as the discourse about “You’re Losing Me” grew on social media, eagle-eyed Swifties noticed that Taylor had recently liked a tweet that debunks the theory that this song was ever about Joe. 

The tweet was a Paul McCartney quote about his then-wife, Linda McCartney, and reads, “i would come back from a run with a poem to share and having listened linda would say 'what a mind' though the lines may not have been supreme, she wasn't merely being kind. she meant what she said. it's going to make a man feel good, that kind of a thing."

Needless to say, all of this was a hot topic of conversation for pop culture lovers everywhere, and one of the places where it was being discussed was celebrity gossip Instagram page Deuxmoi, which has over 2 million followers.

The person behind this account is anonymous and often shares unconfirmed industry gossip. They also post follower submissions with unverified information about celebrities, some of which does end up being confirmed as true.

But amid all of the revelations Thursday, Deux shared their belief that Taylor and Joe actually took a break at some point before their final split. 

This prompted a follower to write in to point out, “Just because Taylor wrote a sad song about Joe in Dec 21 doesn’t mean they broke up around that time OR that she was unhappy for all of 2022/23. Anyone who has been in a long term relationship will tell you there are highs and lows.”

But Deux stood by their claim, writing in response, “She DID have a ceremony in either 2020 or 2021 in the UK and it was described to me as a ‘marriage’ by more than one person. It was NEVER made legal.

“I will die on this hill!” they added. “Put it on my tombstone! I have no reason to lie, I could give a shit what she does!!!!! I’m sorry she didn’t tell you guys about it in a song but just because she doesn’t sing about something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!!!”

While Tree often retweets posts about Taylor, her last tweet herself was a link to Taylor’s “Anti-Hero” music video in October 2022. 

Ana Clara Benevides Machado was just 23 years old when she suffered a cardiac arrest amid extreme temperatures at Taylor’s Eras Tour and later died at the hospital.

Tree has not responded further, and Taylor has not publicly acknowledged the situation.
