Joe Alywn Comments on Working With Taylor Swift During the Pandemic: ‘That Was Pretty Special’

Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift's years-long relationship, which came to an end in 2023, continues to make headlines in 2025.

The actor, who starred in A24’s The Brutalist and is presumably doing press for the film ahead of Oscar nominations being determined and announced this month, recently spoke with The Guardian about his work on the project — which premiered at Venice, with director Brady Corbet receiving the Silver Lion honor for best direction, and is up for several Golden Globes. An interview about Alwyn’s journey as an actor shifted to his experience with fame, and how dating one of the most recognizable pop stars in the world accelerated his ascent into celebrity. Alwyn also received credit as a co-producer on several Folklore tracks, which resulted in him being awarded an album of the year Grammy alongside Swift, Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner in 2021.
