It's been a year since the internet was rocked by news of Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn's split after six years together, which at the time came seemingly out of nowhere.

The stars maintained a quiet romantic life away from the spotlight, but due to the longevity of their relationship, plus their professional endeavors as well, Joe was "the one" for most Swifties.

Taylor, 34, has since been much more public about her private life, especially since the start of her highly successful Eras Tour last year, which has since become the highest grossing concert tour of all time.

Since September, she has been dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, with Taylor attending the Super Bowl to support him and Travis joining her on several tour dates.

Joe, meanwhile, has kept his private life away from the limelight, something he has maintained since the start of their relationship, occasionally making red carpet appearances since.

After their breakup was announced in April 2023, the English actor made his red carpet return months later, appearing at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in November, following that up with appearances at parties before the BAFTAs and for British Vogue earlier this year.

His first post since the breakup, which came in September, immediately sparked conversation among Swifties thanks to one throwback snap of a young Joe in a Robin Hood costume, which they took to be a reference to Taylor's song "The Archer."

While declining to comment on being called "Taylor bae" by fans of the "Gorgeous" singer, when asked about their romance, which began when he was just beginning to rise into the mainstream, his response was: "I'm aware people want to know about that side of things. I think we have been successfully very private, and that has now sunk in for people."
