Taylor Swift is finally addressing her breakups with Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy.
Swift’s six-year-long relationship with actor Joe came to an end when her Tour began in 2023. She also had a brief romance with the 1975 frontman Matty Healy in the summer of that year before moving on to her now fiancé, NFL hunk Travis Kelce.
In the fourth episode of Eras Tour: The End of an Era, released on December 19, the August hitmaker lifted the veil of her two breakups, which she had to go through amid the tour.
“There were points in this tour where the tour was really the only thing keeping me going in my life,” Taylor shared. “But there were never points in the tour where I thought, ‘Oh I want to quit the tour because the tour is hard.’ No, my personal life was hard.”
“I went through two breakups on the first half of this tour,” she said. “That’s a lot of breakups, actually. This show is what gave me purpose and what I could use to get me out of bed. The tour has never been the hard thing in my life. The tour has been the thing that allowed me to find purpose outside of the s***that was going on in my life.”
“Men will let you down, the Eras Tour never will,” she remarked.
Taylor penned her 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department during that time and it’s widely believed to be about the two relationships and breakups.
The Grammy winner supported that report, saying, “Tortured Poets album is like this purge of… just, like, everything, everything bad that I felt for two years. It was a really rough time in my life, so the songs reflect that.”
“Feeling like I’m not a person, I’m just this like, big conglomerate that no one sees as a real human being and especially not men that I date. And in the whole process just being like…nothing, nothing works. There’s no one for me in the world,” she added.
Both Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy have remained quiet about their relationships with Taylor Swift.
Meanwhile, the singer seems to be living her happy ending when it comes to romance as she recently got engaged to Super Bowl-winning athlete Travis Kelce. The couple are expected to tie the knot in June 2026.
