Taylor Swift faced a wave of rumours suggesting a secret marriage to her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. Recently, the pop sensation's publicist, Tree Paine, took a rare step to address the hearsay and put an end to the unfounded claims.

What were the rumours?

The Instagram gossip account, Deuxmoi, stirred the pot by alleging that Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn had a secret ceremony in the United Kingdom in either 2020 or 2021. According to Deuxmoi, the event was described as a 'marriage' by multiple sources, although they emphasised that it was never made legal. These claims triggered a response from Swift's long-time PR representative.
