I stg every time I listen to little evermore, I literally get legit tears in my eyes when I hear taylor sing: “I swear you were there” 🥺
The way she thought and dreamed about him (“when I was shipwrecked / I thought of you / in the cracks of light / i dreamed of you”) when everything was falling apart… “When she lay there on the ground / she dreamed of […] / a love that was really something / not just the idea of something,” and then, “when she stood […] / standing broad-shouldered next to her / was a love that was really something.” It was real enough to get her through because it wasn’t just the idea of something.
We almost know the reason of the swiftwyn breakup.
Now that you think of it, Taylor's friends, especially Ryan and Gigi and also Abigail unfollowing Joe on Instagram was quite absurd.
Like Joe didn't even do something wrong. Joe was frirnds with Gigi before he knew Taylor. And Ryan wrote in that article that Joe and him were pretty good friends. I'm pretty sure his kids refer of referred to him as uncle Joe (Which is cute)
Them unfollowing Joe like this was quite stupid. Didn't they know that this kind of mass unfollowing can have such a big affect on the pr and stuff? This move basically encouraged the cheating rumours about Joe.
Instead of just choosing sides, they should've been supportive of the both of them. I get it that they were better friends with Taylor than with Joe, but they all did such a high school act as if Joe did something wrong.
Was Taylor trying to get back at Joe? Idk, but this was such a mean and a rude and a bad move.

The music video features home videos of Taylor that were filmed (almost definitely by Joe) in the Belfast rental.
(via soprettytothink)
Aaron Dessner talks to Zane Lowe about Renegade. (x)
“Taylor’s words shine a light on something I think anyone can relate to–how anxiety and fear so often needlessly stand in the way of love (...) I remember the weird electricity and goosebumps I felt listening to Taylor’s voice memo of her singing this song for the first time.”

August 25th – Aaron Dessner makes an appearance on the Midnight Chats podcast, and talks about working on folklore and evermore. (x)
“Coney Island is actually something that my brother Bryce wrote and started the music for, and he had worked a lot on folklore and also on evermore and obviously we do so much together. I had sort of developed it, and Taylor wrote Coney Island with Joe, actually, Joe Alwyn, and they felt that it was like - it felt very much, of all the songs we made, that one felt the most related to The National or something musically.”

It's great, and [Taylor and Cherry] get on like a house on fire, and I love Taylor's boyfriend Joe. He's such a wonderful human and they just work really well together. It's cool. It's mad having, because I don't see it as - I know it's an industry friendship, but I don't see it like that. I feel like industry friendships, when you hang out you post a picture, people know you've hung out, whereas with me and her, she'll come around for dinner with Joe, or I'll go over there for dinner with Cherry, and it's like we have a friendship that isn't really in the spotlight.

She says, “look me and Joe actually wrote the past two albums together!” It’s like, even her telling me that is really cool.”

(Translated from theswiftiecult’s IG stories)
November 18, Taylor posted a reel, we immediately set out to investigate the wall, and guess what; that same night we found the hotel and it was super easy because we looked in the hotels that are in the old town and the first one that came out was the American Trade Hotel, the same walls. With that we already confirmed that she was here (...) The following day, November 19, swifties went on rounds and saw Joe near Cathedral Square, but they saw him from afar.
November 20: The swifties were making rounds and saw that there was movement. They saw a black van with guards who had monitored the area as if they were looking for someone, after that the car moved and parked in front of the National Theater and there was Tay, only we did not know (later I informed them). And that same day a girl tells me that she saw Joe at the hotel (we have photos but they cannot be shared) and she also saw her bodyguard.
November 22: A friend who works at the Panama Pacifico International Airport tells a swiftie that Taylor is already leaving Panama, because they were preparing her jet and it was the same one who posted the fandom account on Tumblr. (We only have photos of the jet when it was taking off and they cannot be shared either)
The jet left at around 11 in the morning, they couldn't take a picture of it. And that same day another girl from the group that they were recording in Chepo communicated to us, because she lives near her.
November 23 arrives, when May takes pictures with Joe, but before that, she talked to a producer [of the Stars At Noon], and they told her that Taylor went to the National Theater and liked it a lot, they would go out at night so they wouldn’t be seen, also because at night Joe wasn’t filming.
November 22nd – Taylor leaves Panama for New York.
November 23rd – E! Online releases an article about Taylor recently going to Panama and visiting Joe on set. (x)

Joe, 30, is currently shooting the film adaptation of Denis Johnson's novel, The Stars at Noon, per his IMDb page.

December 27th – After spending Christmas in RI together, they go to LA while Taylor’s parents most likely head back to Nashville.
