Joe Alwyn is still benefiting from his connection with Taylor Swift, over a year after their breakup. Joe co-wrote six songs with the pop diva throughout their six-year romance, and he still makes a lot of money from his efforts.
He’s become a very wealthy man, fair or not, an insider exclusively tells Life & Style. “Joe doesn’t ever need to worry about money again because he is making so much money from royalties and returns from Taylor’s Eras tour.”
Joe, 33, is listed as a songwriter on three tracks from 2020’s second album, Evermore, including “Champagne Problems,” “Coney Island,” and “Evermore,” as well as two songs from 2020’s Folklore, “Exile” and “Betty.” He also has a part in the song “Sweet Nothing” from Taylor’s Midnights album from 2022. The Conversation With Friends actor won a Grammy in 2021 for his work on Folklore.
Apart from that remarkable honor, an investigation by Life & Style indicates that Joe has already received almost $2.3 million in compensation from Spotify streams alone. Furthermore, an industry insider notes that Taylor’s live appearances and more streaming will continue to bring in money.
According to a source for Life & Style, the 34-year-old singer of “Karma” is “furious” that her ex is still making money off of her songs. With her next album, The Tortured Poets Department—which, according to insiders, will include “diss tracks” about Joe—she’ll get the opportunity to strike back.
Taylor made the announcement about the record and its release date of April 19 during the February Grammy Awards. Fans have already started to speculate that songs like “So Long, London” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” among others, will be about her breakup with Joe.
With a few weeks until the album’s release, the Pennsylvania native has been teasing the record’s tone on Instagram by posting lines from it. An album quotation that said, “I love you, it’s ruining my life,” can be seen on the back cover.
There were more quotations to go around as Taylor kept sharing the artwork for further TTPD iterations. Another commented, “Old habits die screaming,” while a third person read, “Am I allowed to cry?” The last quotation was, “You don’t get to tell me about sad.”
When Taylor confirmed the publication of TTPD, she stated that she had already been working on it for two years. With Travis Kelce, whom she began seeing in July 2023, she has since moved on.
