Over a Decade of Men and Music: A Look Back at Taylor Swift’s Compelling Dating History.
The allegedly newly engaged Taylor Swift (32) is not only famous for her extremely successful music career, but also for her dating history. The singer has repeatedly made headlines by turning the heads of the most famous men in show business. And with the fact that she then processed the experiences of these relationships in songs. A summary.
In 2008, Swift dated Jonas Brothers musician Joe Jonas (32) for a few months. With a violent end: As she said in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres (64) quite angrily, Jonas broke up with Swift in a 25-second phone call. After all, the time they spent together was pure gold for their career: Among other things, they processed this relationship in their second album “Fearless”, for which they won their first Grammy.
She broke Taylor Lautner’s heart
In 2009, Swift met her co-star Lucas Till (31) on the set of her music video “You Belong With Me”. They “dated a little bit,” the actor admitted afterwards. However, both were “too nice” for each other. A short time later, a new actor came into her life: “Twilight” star Taylor Lautner (30). He was even on stage as her boyfriend when Kanye West (45) snatched her Grammy out of Swift’s hand. This time, according to rumors, the story ended painfully after a few months, especially for Lautner. In his song “Back to December,” which is about him, Swift sings, “You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye.”
“Glee” star Cory Monteith (1982-2013) followed, although Swift reportedly only dated for about a month. Swift’s relationship with her fellow musician John Mayer (44), which is said to have lasted from late 2009 to mid-2010, caused more excitement. With his numerous affairs, Mayer himself is not a blank slate in the showbiz dating pool.
Rubdown for John Mayer
You can hear that in the song “Dear John,” which Swift apparently wrote for the singer after their relationship ended. It says, among other things, “Don’t you think 19 is too young to be screwed by your dark twisted games?” The rest of the text also gives rather gloomy insights into Mayer’s supposed dating behavior. Before their relationship, the musician was very enthusiastic about Swift’s talent, but he once described “his” song as “pretty cheap songwriting”.
Again only a few months, but many headlines and inspiration for several songs, the liaison with actor Jake Gyllenhaal (41) lasted in 2010. Gyllenhaal is said to have ended by text message and because of the big age difference. Swift worked through this story in the album “Red”. The song “All Too Well” on it has just been released again in a ten-minute version – in which “a” relationship is retold…
It seems Swift needed some time to recover after Gyllenhaal. The next relationship is said to be in 2012, this time with Robert F. Kennedy’s grandson, Conor Kennedy (27). Swift was the older: she was 22 at the time, he was only 18. The singer was said to be very impressed – and even bought a house for five million dollars to be able to be near him. However, according to rumors, this is said to have frightened the offspring of the politician so much that he broke up.
Musician dream couple “Haylor”
At the end of 2012, a new dream musician couple came together: Taylor Swift and Harry Styles (28), called “Haylor”. The two had known each other for a long time and had always raved about each other in interviews. This story didn’t last long, however. Only a few months after their romantic walk in Central Park, of which there are numerous photos, it was over again. And at the Grammys, Swift sang her song “We Are Never Getting Back Together” with an extra English accent while Styles was in the audience… It’s also speculated that some songs from the album “1989” reappraise the relationship with Styles.
Which brings us to Calvin Harris (38). The Scottish DJ and singer were photographed in matching looks in a supermarket in 2015. They appeared together at the Billboard Music Awards. The relationship lasted longer than any of Taylor Swift’s previous ones, over a year. Harris is said to have “brutally” broken up.
Consolation Tom Hiddleston?
Swift did not mourn for long. She met actor Tom Hiddleston (41) at the 2016 Met Gala, and a month later the two were photographed kissing on the beach. But here, too, it was over after a total of three months.
After all these ups and downs and many songs about the happiness and unhappiness of love, Taylor Swift finally met her current boyfriend – and now alleged fiancé – Joe Alwyn (31) in 2017. However, the actor and singer are keeping their relationship completely private. However, in the 2020 documentary Miss Americana, Swift revealed that she had fallen in love with someone who was living a “wonderfully normal, balanced life.”
And this time, too, the relationship inspires the musician to new material – but this time not alone: Joe Alwyn is said to have already co-written some of Swift’s songs under the pseudonym William Bowery. So that’s how it works.
