It's over a year since Taylor Swift and Joe Alywn split, but fans believe the Conversations with Friends actor is still holding a candle for his superstar ex-girlfriend.
In a video posted to Instagram, fans zoomed in on an embroidered door hanging in Joe's home, believing the hand-stitched trinket was created by Taylor, who is known for her love of sewing.

Did Taylor sew the gift for Joe?
34-year-old Taylor has shared several videos of herself sewing in recent months, both by hand and on a sewing machine, so there's a good chance she did create the door hanger for her ex-love. Watch her sewing below...
She also sings about stitching on her latest album, The Tortured Poet's Department, on the heartbreaking track LOML.
The lyrics read: "We embroidered the memories of the time I was away, stitching, 'We were just kids, babe'," – perhaps a nod to her love of the craft.

Taylor has also been known to sew gifts for her ex-boyfriends, including a hand-stitched token for Joe Jonas and his then-wife Sophie Turner to celebrate the arrival of their first child.
She also sewed a blanket for Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's daughter, Daisy Dove.

While it's entirely possible Joe's door hanging is in tribute to his famous ex-girlfriend, he's unlikely to ever confirm or deny it after sharing all he planned to say on the matter during an interview with The Sunday Times Style.
"I would think and hope that anyone and everyone can empathise and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years. That is a hard thing to navigate."

As everyone knows, we together — both of us, mutually — decided to keep the more private details of our relationship private. It was never something to commodify and I see no reason to change that now."

We're glad they're both happy!
