Taylor Swift’s six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn had all fans, including myself, finally thinking she found the one. Their private love story that formed during a time when Taylor was at her lowest had us all believing in their true love. It was her longest relationship yet; finally, someone was good enough for everyone’s favorite girl. So when news outlets everywhere started reporting their breakup, I was not only shocked, but felt sad as if I was in that relationship myself.
When Taylor started her new relationship with the famed Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce, everyone was more than enthusiastic. However, I couldn’t help but miss Joe. Now, as Taylor and Travis’s budding romance progresses deeper and deeper, I’ve realized that I no longer miss Joe and, in fact, find Travis to be a much better match.
Coming out of her #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty, I know she needed space and time out of the public eye to heal with Joe. However, she continued to hide from the public up until her long relationship with Joe ended. Once it did, however, she was hitting the town. She was glowing in gorgeous outfits going out to dinner with celebs like Blake Lively, Sophie Turner, Ryan Reynolds, and more. Daily paparazzi photos of Taylor littered our feeds which hadn’t happened in years. She’s unapologetically attending every one of Travis’s games alongside her friends and family to cheer him on.
I’ll never hate on Joe because he will always be what she needed at that time. He helped write masterpiece songs on her albums like Folklore and Evermore and truly seemed to make her happy. However, now she needs someone who will shine with her, not conceal her from the world. Continuing her Eras Tour into new countries and reaching even higher levels in the music industry, she truly is a superstar — and I know that Travis will only help her shine brighter.
