The public has always been fascinated by Taylor Swift’s love life, often analyzing her heartfelt song lyrics for clues about her personal relationships. Recently, there are rumors floating around that she and her boyfriend, British actor Joe Alwyn, have decided to part ways. According to a source close to them, the couple has chosen to handle their breakup in a mature and respectful manner, with no unnecessary drama involved.
Highlighting this point, Swift was spotted having dinner in New York this week donning a laid-back ensemble that was a departure from her usual glamorous style. She opted for a pair of grey Agolde jeans with an interesting criss-cross waistband, paired with a black T-shirt featuring a buttoned V-neckline. Breaking away from her usual high heels, she completed the look with chunky combat boots from The Row. This particular style of boots has gained popularity among celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Hailey Bieber, and Zoë Kravitz, who are known for their understated yet luxurious fashion choices.
Choosing to invest in a popular yet understated luxury brand that is favored by trendy girls marks a new style direction for Swift, who is known for her love of sparkly outfits. Her overall look was extremely casual and far from the flashy, attention-grabbing outfits typically associated with revenge dressing, a trend popularized by Princess Diana and others following public breakups.
In her latest album, Midnights, Swift discusses using fashion as a form of communication following a breakup. In the song “Vigilante Shit,” she sings about how she has been dressing for revenge lately. Despite this, her innocent girl-next-door style and natural makeup are a far cry from the bold eyeliner she mentions in the song.
Swift and Alwyn have not addressed the rumors of their breakup, maintaining a “say nothing” approach that has characterized their relationship since they started dating in 2016. In a 2018 interview with British Vogue, Joe mentioned that they have been successful in keeping their relationship private. It seems unlikely that we will hear any juicy details from either of them anytime soon. Fans will have to wait for a new album to possibly get some hints about what really happened between them.
