As Taylor Swift climbed the mountain of success, she realized that she might want a long-term partner to soak in the view alongside her, something past lovers hadn’t provided. In the 2020 Netflix documentary “Miss Americana,” Swift recounted winning Album of the Year for her pop sensation “1989,” and how she wondered what it’d be like to have someone beside her at that moment.
“I had won Album of the Year at the Grammys for the second time, which I didn’t think was a possibility,” she said. “And I remember thinking, ‘Oh, my God, that was all you wanted’ … That was all you focused on … You get to the mountaintop and look around and you’re like, ‘Oh, God. What now?'” She added, “I didn’t have a partner that I climbed it with that I could high-five. I didn’t have anyone I could talk to who could relate to what I was [going through] … I just wondered, ‘Shouldn’t I have someone that I would call right now?'”
That loneliness changed between the release of “1989” and “Reputation.” During her stint away from the media — following her highly publicized feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — Swift found herself in a wholesome, private relationship. The “I Knew You Were Trouble” singer and British actor Joe Alwyn have been together since 2016, according to Page Six. When she won AOTY a third time in 2021, she had someone at the mountaintop with her.
