It is no secret that Taylor Swift has written a plethora of songs about her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. Dating from her Reputation album up until her newest album (not including her re-recordings), Evermore. It was a bit of a shock when Taylor revealed that Joe Alwyn actually helped her write some songs for two of her recent albums, Folklore, and Evermore. They have both commented on their songwriting process together.
Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn Are Pretty Secretive About Their Relationship
The two started dating in 2016 and kept their relationship off of social media and out of the public eye as much as possible. But with both of them being famous, fans knew. Swift had a secret listening party for her album Reputation, and allegedly admitted to fans that the song Gorgeous was about Alwyn.
She has written a lot of other songs about him. Her songs Lover, London Boy, and Invisible String are very obviously written about Alwyn according to fans. Swift revealed that the two decided to keep their relationship quiet in her documentary, Miss Americana, because they both agreed on wanting it to stay private. Especially after all the drama Swift was involved in with Kim and Kanye, it made sense that Swift wanted a lot of her life to stay private after that.
In the documentary, fans could see a brief glimpse into Swift and Alwyn's relationship. In one scene, Taylor hugs him behind the scenes at one of her shows on tour. But he is never mentioned by name in the documentary. But more recently, the two have been talking about each other to the public and even posting things on social media alluding to their relationship.
Joe Alwyn Co-Wrote Songs With Taylor Swift For Two Of Her Recent Albums
Joe Alwyn wrote songs under the pseudonym, William Bowery. This was so that fans did not know he was the one who wrote the songs with Taylor. Fans wondered why they were keeping it a secret. Swift revealed that they wrote the songs, exile,betty, coney island, and champagne problems.
What was also a mystery was why the two wrote such sad songs together rather than romantic ones about each other. Swift said they did this on purpose because they both really enjoy sad songs.
Swift revealed that Joe Alwyn was William Bowery in the Disney Plus special of Folklore: The Long Pond Studios. This special that aired in 2020 featured Swift singing all of the Folklore album and explaining what each song meant and the songwriting process.
So while Swift revealed that Alwyn was writing songs with her, he didn't comment on it until nearly two years later. Alwyn revealed just exactly why the two kept it a secret.
This made sense to the fans because it gave them the full experience of the song itself before listening to it from the perspective that the two wrote it together.
