Taylor Swift used to share quite a bit about her personal life online, but since she began dating Joe Alwyn in 2016 that has not been the case. The two are known for being private about their relationship. In a recent interview with ELLE, Alwyn shared that being so “guarded and private” about dating Swift is “more a response” to being in the public eye.
