Inside Taylor Swift’s Relationship With Harry Styles—and How Joe Alwyn Secretly Joined Her Grammys Night
Taylor Swift’s interactions with ex-boyfriend Harry Styles went viral during Grammys night, because it offered the web a glimpse of how seemingly amicable and friendly things are between them. Swift and Styles dated in late 2012 for a pair months; they broke up in early 2013.
A source spoke to Entertainment Tonight yesterday about what the state of affairs between Styles and Swift is like now. “Taylor and Harry don’t have any issues they usually are friendly,” the insider said. “Taylor thinks Harry is such a talented artist and has nothing but respect for him. Their relationship was an extended time ago, and Taylor has moved on and could be very joyful in her relationship with Joe [Alwyn]. She has matured as an individual, and things are peaceful and good between them.”

A second source revealed that Swift’s boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, was also a special a part of her Grammys evening despite his absence on the ceremony. “Taylor and Joe attended a Grammys after-party at Chateau Marmont last night. They were there until late, had a fantastic time, and were letting loose,” the source told Entertainment Tonight of the couple’s secret meetup.
Some photos of Swift on the after party, which she reportedly hosted, have emerged and reveal she had an outfit change. Shots of her and Alwyn haven’t surfaced yet though:
Swift hasn’t said quite a bit about her transient romance with Styles. But back in October 2015, she spoke concerning the relationship that inspired her 1989 song “Out of the Woods,” which is believed to be about Styles.
“The primary feeling I felt in the entire relationship was anxiety,” she recalled then. “Since it felt very fragile, it felt very tentative. And it at all times felt like, ‘Okay, what’s the following road block? What’s the following thing that’s gonna deter this? How long do we now have before this turns into just an awful mess and we break up? Is it a month? Is it three days?’ And so, you already know, I feel a whole lot of relationships might be very solid and that’s form of what you hope for, for it to be solid and healthy but that’s not at all times what you get. And it doesn’t mean that it’s not special and extraordinary simply to have a relationship that’s fragile and by some means meaningful in that fragility.”
