Joe Alwyn’s Hilarious Late Night Debut: What He Said About Taylor Swift!

By the way, Joe Alwyn is also going out tonight. 

During his first appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on January 16, the Brutalist actor admitted that he hid his true level of nervousness during his late-night debut.

Following host Seth Meyers remarking that it was the initial occasion for Joe, who had a relationship with Taylor Swift from 2017 to 2023, to appear on a late-night program, he inquired, “What’s your state of mind?

To which Joe cheekily replied, “Awful,” before acquiescing, “It’s great.”

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always enthusiastic about endorsing exceptional works, such as the Golden Globe-winning film that features the talented duo, Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones. However, much like the lead character in “Kinds of Kindness,” the 33-year-old actor has consistently chosen to keep a low profile, preferring the quieter corners of stardom. Indeed, he once maintained a highly private relationship with a globally recognized partner, demonstrating his preference for a life less focused on the limelight.

In simple terms, Joe mentioned to The Guardian back in June that he and Taylor had chosen to keep the intimate aspects of their relationship confidential, as they both agreed on maintaining privacy. He emphasized that they never intended to turn their relationship into something commercial, and he sees no need to alter this approach now.

It appears that Joe is puzzled as well, questioning why everyone seems to still be at the restaurant, given his past relationship with Taylor. When inquired about his current status regarding their relationship, he had previously told The Guardian, “I guess that’s for others to decide.

Joe went on to say, “I’m referring to an event from my past. As far as others are concerned, that’s how I see it.

Without a doubt, Taylor has demonstrated her significant evolution since her days as London Boy. Following her 2023 split from Joe, she embarked on relationships with Matty Healy of The 1975 and Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. This transformation speaks volumes about her personal growth and newfound interests.

From my perspective, my relationship with Travis has made me feel like I’m back in high school. I can’t help but notice him, whether it’s cheering him on from the stands during Chiefs games or expressing my appreciation for his support during the filming of my “Fortnite” music video. And to top it all off, after winning Video of the Year at the VMAs in September, he was there to celebrate with me.

In my anecdote during my acceptance speech, I fondly recalled a moment that deeply resonated with me. After wrapping up a take and calling out “cut,” there would always be applause echoing from the distant studio where we were filming. That particular cheer was coming from one special individual – my partner, Travis.

Taylor gushed, “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic.”

As Taylor revels in her current relationship with her partner on the Chiefs, it’s worth noting that her previous screen partner served as an inspiration for numerous works over the years. Dive into the possible tracks inspired by Joe…

In a collaboration with his former partner, Taylor Swift, the first song between them was featured on the 2020 album “Folklore” as a duet with Bon Iver. However, at the time of release, Joe Alwyn was credited under the pseudonym William Bowery. It wasn’t until her Disney+ concert film, “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions,” that Taylor Swift revealed William and Joe were indeed the same person.

As a diehard fan, I’ve always admired Taylor Swift’s songwriting skills, and her latest revelation about “The Favorite” actor, Joe Alwyn, just took my fandom to another level! In an interview, she shared that he penned the beautiful piano melody and the poignant lyrics for “I can see you standin’ honey/With his arms around your body/Laughin’ but the joke’s not funny at all.” It’s mind-blowing to think that my favorite artist’s partner is also a hidden musical genius!

Moreover, she mentioned that Joe was always improvising and coming up with creative ideas. If it weren’t for the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced us all to stay indoors, I wouldn’t have had the chance to witness this fascinating collaboration between them! It just goes to show that even in the darkest times, beautiful art can be born!

She put it this way: “I suggested, ‘Hey, given our current situation with the quarantine and all, let’s give writing a song together a shot. We might find it odd or dislike it, but there’s nothing much else to do right now.’

The result of their professional collaboration? Winning Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammys.

Taylor was overflowing with pride over the song “‘Exile.'” She explained that all she needed to do was think of some poetic lyrics and create a deeply emotional, soulful narrative to work on together.

In a chat with Zane Lowe at Apple Music, I shared some insights about the title track of my ninth studio album. Just like our collaboration on “Exile,” Joe took charge of creating the beautiful melody, while I poured my thoughts into the poignant lyrics. Once again, Bon Iver lent his captivating voice to bring the male vocals to life.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the song’s co-producer, Aaron Dessner, emphasized that it was crucial for Joe to perform the piano part in “Evermore,” because technical difficulties prevented him from doing so during the recording of “Exile.

This time around, Aaron suggested, he believes it’s crucial and uniquely significant for us to include it in the narrative.

Merely hours preceding Taylor’s commencement of The Eras tour in Glendale, Ariz., on March 17, the Grammy winner unexpectedly shared four fresh songs with her audience, among them “All of the Girls You Loved Before.” This song, initially planned for her 2019 album Lover, sparked speculation that it was inspired by Joe.

Taylor kicks off her pre-chorus with the lines, “Your past and mine run parallel, like stars perfectly aligned and intertwined.” This lyric evokes memories of another song she penned about Joe on her album Midnights titled “Mastermind,” where she sings, “In a storybook once upon a time, the planets and fate conspired / The stars aligned, you and I found ourselves in the same room at the exact same moment.

Later in the song, Taylor sweetly serenades, “The way you endear me with ‘baby’, treat me with respect as a lady.” Fans couldn’t help but be reminded of Taylor’s hit from reputation, “King of My Heart”, where she also references Joe. In the song, she sings, “We only just met a short while ago / Now you’re attempting to endear me with ‘baby’, much like trying on new clothes.

In the collection of stories known as the high school love triangle trilogy found in “Folklore,” Taylor explained that the song “Betty” came about after she overheard Joe singing the completely developed chorus from another location.

In truth, I found it reminiscent of an apology,” I went on. “Given my extensive songwriting background, centered around a woman yearning for a male apology, we chose to shift the narrative this time. We opted to present it through the eyes of a young man, expressing regret after he’s lost the love of his life due to his thoughtless actions.

Although Joe didn’t contribute directly to the creation of Midnights‘ first track, Zoë Kravitz is listed as a co-writer. The motivation behind this song, however, stemmed from Taylor’s wish to preserve their private relationship from public scrutiny.

She clarified on Instagram: “If people discover you’re in love with someone, they’ll certainly have opinions about it. For six years, my partner and I have had to navigate odd gossip and tabloid speculation – we simply choose to brush it off. This song is essentially a reflection of the process of disregarding such nonsense to safeguard the genuine aspects of our relationship.

The title derives from a saying popular during the 1950s, which Taylor encountered while viewing Mad Men. He explained that it symbolized an all-consuming, radiant affection.

Despite the duo penning the “Evermore” track that seemed to revolve around a broken engagement, Taylor swiftly dismissed rumors suggesting it was a reflection of their romantic history together.

She shared with Zane Lowe that although it was unexpected when we began writing music together, in a sense, it wasn’t. This is because we have always shared a strong connection through music and have similar musical preferences. He’s always the one introducing me to new artists, and their songs often become my favorites.

Taylor went on to explain, “Joe and I have a deep affection for melancholic tunes. Our connection has always been strengthened through music. That’s why we compose such poignant ones. After all, we truly adore sad songs.

Apart from “Title Track” and “Champagne Problems”, Joe also collaborated on the song “Coney Island”, a haunting duet with Matt Berninger of The National, which is included in the album Evermore.

According to Taylor, Paul McCartney mentioned that the ballad from her album Folklore was particularly personal. She explained to him during a Rolling Stone interview that she felt more connected to her private life due to Joe.

She expressed her belief that having known him and being in her current relationship has undeniably led her to make choices that have made her life seem more authentic, rather than simply a plotline for gossip columns.

In the album “Midnights,” Joe contributed to writing only one track. This tender love song begins with a stone collected from a beach in Wicklow, which is an Irish county where the actor shot the Hulu series “Conversations With Friends.

Taylor penned the ballad, titled “You’re Losing Me,” on December 5, 2021, as confirmed by her collaborator Jack Antonoff. This significant track from the “middleton sessions” was written and recorded at home, following closely after she released Red (Taylor’s Version) and the “All Too Well” short film.

Taylor postponed the launch for more than a year, eventually unveiling it as an additional track on her album “Midnights” in May 2023, a month following rumors of her separation with Joe. This timing sparked fan theories suggesting that the song could be about their breakup.

She croons, “I can’t detect a heartbeat / My heart seems lifeless now / For you / Because our connection is fading away,”

“For how long will we be a melancholic ballad / Before we drift too far to resurrect? / I poured out all my best self, my unwavering compassion.

The words subtly suggest a spurned wedding invitation: “Yet, I wouldn’t wed myself either / A compulsive people-pleaser / Yearning for nothing more than your gaze.

Um, Joe is British. Enough said.
