The pair has kept so private that Joe refused to talk about Taylor with British Vogue in 2018.
The combination of their extreme privacy and sudden breakup has left Swifties wondering what could have happened.
The couple split "a few weeks ago," according to Entertainment Tonight - which was the first news site to report the shocking news citing an unnamed source - which was then confirmed by People.
"It was not dramatic," ET was told. "The relationship had just run its course. It's why [Joe] hasn't been spotted at any shows."

"Will she go really deep and talk about the cheating or save it for new music?"
The blind item was reposted by a T-Swift fan account on Twitter who wrote, "Joe cheated on Taylor according to a crazy days and nights blind item. Could this be true?!"
This new information led other fans to start reading into Taylor's performances on her Eras Tour, specifically her surprise songs.
After the breakup, her surprise song at her Houston, Texas, concert was her hit You're Not Sorry.
The song is about Taylor refusing an apology from a previous partner after they have proven themself to be a liar.
Some fans blamed Joe for the choice of song, writing on Twitter, "You're Not Sorry as a surprise song, what did you do Joe Alwyn?"

TURNING THEIR BACK ON JOE
After the news spread among Taylor's friends and fandom, Joe started to lose a lot of support.
Fans started turning on him based on their own theories, like when a Twitter user alleged: "Joe Alwyn not only cheated, but Taylor didn’t find out until this week. That pig is gonna rot in h**l."
More fans did some digging about Joe and curated a list of all the celebrities that have unfollowed him since his split from Taylor.
As of today, the list includes her brother, Austin Swift, along with close friends Ryan Reynolds, the HAIM sisters, Lena Dunham, Lily Aldridge, Martha Hunt, Gigi Hadid, Claire Winter, and Ashley Avignone.

FUEL FROM TAYLOR
Taylor herself has added a lot of fuel to the breakup rumors while using her stadium tour as an international stage to share her grief.
Knowing that her fans pick apart every word she says and every move she makes while on the hunt for Easter eggs, Taylor hasn't been hiding her feelings about the situation.
A video of last night's show, in Houston, where she also performed You're Not Sorry along with the breakup ballad Wonderland, has gone viral because of Taylor's uncharacteristic attitude.
During her song Look What You Made Me Do, Taylor is joined on stage by the other versions of herself that represent her previous alums.
In 2019, the singer released the album Lover about her relationship with Joe.
The romantic album is very upbeat and clearly represents Taylor's love for her now ex-boyfriend and how much she enjoyed their relationship.
However, during last night's show, Taylor walked up to the Lover version of herself - played by a background dancer - and called the Lover version a loser.
In the fan-taken video, the singer can be seen storming up to Lover Taylor while making an "L" with her pointer finger and thumb and raising it to her forehead.

EMMA LAIRD
Emma Laird, 24, is a Scottish actress who just got roped into the Taylor and Joe drama, but not without cause.
The actress caught a lot of flack for including an image of Joe, who is also her The Brutalist co-star, on Instagram.
She posted the photo on Tuesday in the middle of a large Instagram carousel filled with photos she took in March.
The photo that she posted of Joe showed him on a large green scooter and she captioned the set with a heart.
Although her comment section on the post is now deleted, at one point it was filled with a lot of hate mail from Swifties.
On her previous Instagram posts, Emma's comment sections are being bombarded by other Swifties who are apologizing to the actress on behalf of their more dramatic counterparts.
