Taylor Swift has sent fans into a tizzy after she seemingly wore a necklace gifted to her by Joe Alwyn amid reports they’ve split.
On Sunday, the 33-year-old was seen leaving a New York eatery with her friend and long-time collaborator Jack Antonoff, sporting an accessory that some claimed was her “J necklace”.
As ever, fans were quick to analyse the delicate piece and took to social media to argue that it was her special Tiffany & Co. necklace, while others insisted it wasn’t.
Taking to Twitter, one fan shed some light on the importance of the jewellery piece, explaining: “For those not in the know, Taylor Swift started wearing this silver Tiffany necklace with a ‘J’ on it in 2016, and sang ‘I want to wear his initial on a chain round my neck’ on Reputation, as well as tapping it in videos – all but confirming it’s about Joe.”
After photos emerged of her on her night out, a fan commented: “Me trying to figure out if Taylor Swift is wearing her J initial necklace or not”.
“TAYLOR SWIFT SPOTTED IN NYC AND WE THINK SHES WEARING THE J NECKLACE THIS IS NOT A DRILL,” another enthusiastically penned in all caps.

A third added: “What do you mean Taylor Swift was spotted wearing the ‘J’ necklace????? WE WON??”
“Me zooming into all these new videos of Taylor Swift trying to figure out if it’s the J necklace she’s wearing,” another remarked.
While a fan insisted: “I don’t know if I’m right but in the new pictures of Taylor Swift out in NYC isn’t she wearing the necklace with Joe’s initial on it? Because that’s really what it looks like.”
However, some of Swift’s other fans weren’t convinced, with one writing: “That’s not the J necklace! Stop lying.”
“Am I the only one who thinks it’s actually hilarious that she would choose to wear a necklace that’s so similar to the other one?” another claimed.

“Is she trolling us??? Anyway I think this is as much as a response we’re gonna get from her. She’s going out tonight.”
The speculation online comes after it was reported over the weekend that the hitmaker, 33 and the British actor, 32, shocked fans with the revelation they had called time on their six-year relationship.
Over the weekend, it was first reported that the pair, who started dating in 2016, broke up several weeks ago.
Swift is currently on her The Eras Tour. Conversations With Friends actor Alwyn has not been spotted at any of her shows since she began performing on March 18.
A source told website Entertainment Tonight that the split was amicable and “not dramatic”, adding the relationship had “just run its course”.
Music superstar Swift is believed to have met Joe in 2016 at the Met Gala in New York, and they started dating that October.
