03 May 2023, Mumbai: Since they never shared photos together, Taylor Swift didn’t have any Instagram images of Joe Alwyn to remove after their breakup last month. However, she did the next best thing she could by removing the video where she explained the significance of “Lavender Haze” and how it was about her being so in love with Alwyn. Swift also removed the link to the “Lavender Haze” music video from her bio, which was discovered by Swift’s Twitter followers.
It was one of the very few times on record that Swift discussed their dynamic and what their love story was like on the inside because she didn’t frequently talk about her six-year relationship with Alwyn.
In it Instagram video she posted in October, she stated, “I came across the term ‘lavender haze’ while watching Mad Men. It sounded interesting, so I looked it up. And it turns out that it was a frequent way for people to express being in love in the 1950s. You were in the all-pervasive love glow if you were described as being in the “lavender haze.” And I found that to be incredibly lovely.”
“I guess, theoretically, when you’re in the ‘lavender haze,’ you’ll do anything to stay there,” she said, moving on to her chemistry with Alwyn. “And don’t let anyone push you off that cloud. I believe that many people now, not just ‘famous celebrities,’ have to deal with this since we live in the social media age and if the world finds out if you’re in love with someone they will weigh in on it. Similar to my six-year relationship, we have had to ignore bizarre rumours and media coverage. The act of disregarding those crap in order to preserve the true stuff is what this song is about.”
Swift hasn’t actually talked about the breakup herself, but when her friends unfollowed Alwyn at the same time, Swifties took notice. On April 20, a source told Us Weekly that Swift is considering the future. The insider claimed that Taylor was handling the split “really well” and that she was feeling “very optimistic about her future.” She firmly believes that everything happens for a reason and that whatever is meant to be, will be.
Swift and Alwyn’s relationship was more rocky than it appeared on the surface, according to a different insider who spoke to People on April 10. Friends believed that the couple would take some time apart before reuniting in the future because they had previously overcome difficult times. “In the end, they weren’t a good match for one another.”
