Taylor Swift Hints At Ex Joe Alwyn In London Show

Taylor Swift smiling

Taylor Swift surprised fans during her fifth show in London with a setlist that seemed to hint at her ex, Joe Alwyn. The singer performed at Wembley Stadium on August 16, starting with her song 'London Boy' from the 'Lover' album, believed to be an ode to Alwyn. She then transitioned into surprise piano mashups of 'Dear John' from 'Speak Now' and 'Sad, Beautiful, Tragic' from 'Red.'

While 'London Boy' celebrates her love for a Londoner, the subsequent songs delve into themes of complicated breakups. Fans were quick to connect the dots, especially with lyrics like 'I’m shining like fireworks over your sad empty town' from 'Dear John.'

Swift's relationship with Alwyn reportedly ended in April 2023 after six years. She is now romantically linked to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Travis Kelce.
