Unlike previous high-profile relationships, Taylor Swift and Joe Alvin are now unusually low-key.
On their latest album Evermore, the two collaborated on three songs, saying they both valued the relationship very much.
Counting up, the 31-year-old Taylor's date with "Darling" movie star Joe has entered its fourth year.
They have rarely made public appearances in recent years, most recently for a walk in London wearing wool hats.
For most of last year, the Blank Space singer, who was isolated from Joe in Highgate in the north london suburbs, has become more intimate than ever.
Last month, people familiar with the matter told People that Taylor was "very happy," saying: "Joe is her 'patron.'" Their relationship is mature and beautiful. ”
Usually, Taylor toured mostly in the United States and Europe and participated in the Glastonbury Festival.
But last year, apart from spending a few months in Los Angeles, she and Joe have been enjoying a calm, high-quality world of two.
The two often took a walk in the north suburbs of London, sometimes taking Joe's mother with them, and they watched old movies and wrote songs together.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine last November, Taylor said she was currently enjoying a "real" personal life.
She said: "After meeting him and starting a relationship, I decided to make my life more like life than to be the storyline of people in the tabloids. ”
This is very different from her past very high-profile relationships.

When in a relationship with Joe, Taylor didn't show love on the red carpet, didn't post on Instagram, and certainly didn't have an "I Heart T.S" T-shirt.
In 2016, while on vacation in Rhode Island, Taylor's ex-boyfriend "Jitterson" Tom Hiddleston wore that T-shirt.
In May 2017, the Sun broke the news that Taylor and Joe were dating, and a person familiar with the matter revealed at the time: "Taylor and Joe value this relationship.
"After the T-shirt incident, they decided to keep a low profile."
She told Rolling Stone magazine in 2014: "I feel like watching my relationship has become a national entertainment, which makes me uncomfortable and I don't want to be noticed anymore." ”
According to Mail Online, Taylor and Tom broke up after three months of dating. Because the "Night Manager" movie star always likes to show his love publicly and participate in the Emmy Awards together, this makes Taylor very uncomfortable.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > every relationship is in the spotlight</h1>
Prior to Tom, Taylor had dated Calvin Harris for 15 months in 2015-2016.
At the time, they often posted photos of trips or snowmen building in foreign countries and happily attended the award ceremony together.
Before Calvin, her boyfriend was Harry Stiles.
The two of them had a lightning-fast relationship between 2012 and 2013. Taylor's songs "Style" and "Out of the Woods" are said to have been written for Harry.
But today, Taylor has become a veteran of dodging paparazzi, and people haven't seen her and Joe for nearly a year.
They met through Taylor's supermodel friend Gigi Hadid. When the two were together, Joe was unknown, and the only work he could get his hands on was "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle".
Taylor is said to have traveled by private jet to Highgate, London, where he lived in a house not far from Joe's house.
When the two played together in London, Taylor even put on a hat and scarf to cover his face.
Joe's grandfather was william Alvin, a well-known British composer, who was always silent about his relationship with Taylor and refused to ask questions from interviewers.
He once told GQ Magazine: "People's personal lives are privacy, and no one is obliged to disclose their personal lives." ”
In 2018, Joe starred in the Oscar film "Darling", but they have been trying to separate work from life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > she's a darling fan</h1>
However, they have been silently supporting each other's causes.
Taylor sneaked into the London premiere of Queen Mary and encouraged fans to watch "Darling" on social media.
In December 2017, during a Jingle Bell Ball concert in New York, Joe was found videotaping in a crowd. The following year, he was also seen on the Expedition tour.
In December 2018, the two traveled together to Emma Stone's apartment in New York to have lunch with the star of "Darling".
At the Golden Globes in January 2019, "Darling" star Olivia Coleman won Best Actress in a Comedy Category, with Joe sitting in the audience.
Surprisingly, Taylor was invited to present two music-related awards.
According to American Weekly, when Taylor presented Lady Gaga with the award for Best Original Song, Joe's partner Nicholas Holt tacitly patted him.
As he stepped off the stage, Taylor "looked in Joe's direction and showed a playful and cute smile."
Afterwards, they also attended the same party, but in order to avoid reporters, the two did not arrive together.
Taylor's most recent albums, Folklore and Evermore, also had contributions from Joe, but he used the pseudonym William Bowery.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > music is a common love</h1>
Referring to family life, Taylor recently said in a rare way: "I would say, strangely enough, we started writing songs together. We've all always loved music and have the same taste for music. ”
During the last quarantine, Joe shared cute photos of her cat Benjamin Button to Taylor's fans.
In an interview in January 2019, Joe said: "I don't think we're more privacy-conscious than others. I don't think anyone is going to talk to a stranger on the street.
"Some people think we're too focused on privacy, but I think it's normal."
Anyway, as long as they're happy. Bless them!
