Taylor Swift and boyfriend Joe Alwyn hold hands after an MTV VMAs afterparty in NYC
Taylor Swift and her longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn were seen holding hands as they sprinted to their getaway car, after attending a star-studded MTV VMAs afterparty in the Fleur Room at the Moxy Chelsea hotel on Sunday.
After a nearly six-year romance out of the spotlight, the 32-year-old pop sensation looked smitten as she grasped her man’s hand and followed him into the back of a luxury black SUV rocking a short blue Moschino playsuit.
Despite wearing a pair of five-inch Alexander McQueen heels, the 11-time Grammy winner ran with ease as the Boy Erased actor, 31, who sported a black jacket and matching trousers, guided her back to their vehicle.

The Conversations With Friends star did not join his partner at the VMAs ceremony in Newark, New Jersey, where she announced a brand new album, called Midnights, which will be released on October 21st.
After teasing the reveal during the show, Swift posted her new album’s cover as well as a caption, which read: ‘Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight.’
Midnights will be Swift’s first album of new material since 2020’s Evermore.

In the second slide of the post, the Grammy winner gave fans a bit of context of the concept behind the new long-player.
Alongside a picture of Swift with her head in her hands, she wrote: ‘We lie awake in love and fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back.’
‘We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren’t – right this minute – about to make some fateful life-altering mistake,’ she continued. ‘This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams. The floors we pace and the demons we face.’
The Cardigan hitmaker concluded: ‘For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching – hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve … we’ll meet ourselves.

Swift and Alwyn, who split their time between the U.S. and London, have continued to keep their relationship very private amid engagement and marriage rumors over the course of the past year.
In September 2018, the Mary Queen of Scots actor first spoke about their decision to keep the relationship private in conversation with British Vogue.
‘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…but I really prefer to talk about work,’ he shared.

And months later he continued to defend to Esquire why they’ve chosen not to go more public with their relationship.
‘I didn’t seek out advice on that,’ he said when asked about whether or not he had received advice about navigating a high profile relationship.
‘…Because I know what I feel about it. I think there’s a very clear line as to what somebody should share, or feel like they have to share, and what they don’t want to and shouldn’t have to.’

By March 2019 engagement rumors began to swirl after an insider told Us Weekly that the singer was all in on Joe.
‘Taylor’s friends are all talking about a proposal and how she really wants to marry Joe. He’s her dream guy.’
In an August 2019 interview with The Guardian Taylor maintained that she doesn’t share more because the relationship ‘isn’t up for discussion.’
‘I’ve learned that if I do, people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,’ she explained, adding that it’s a ‘boundary’ she’s set for herself that keeps her life ‘feeling manageable’
Staying quiet: Most recently Joe told WSJ Magazine in April: ‘If I had a pound for every time I think I’ve been told I’ve been engaged, then I’d have a lot of pound coins. I mean, the truth is, if the answer was yes, I wouldn’t say, and if the answer was no, I wouldn’t say’
‘I’ve learned that if I do, people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,’ she said, adding that it’s a ‘boundary’ she’s set for herself that keeps her life ‘feeling manageable.’
But she publicly thanked him while accepting the Grammy for Album Of The Year, last year, and just two months later it was reported that they had ‘discussed future plans,’ and that she can ‘see herself marrying Joe one day,’ according to Entertainment Tonight.
