According to reports, Joe Alwyn, Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend, is deeply upset and betrayed by the pop star’s new romance with British singer Matty Healy.
Despite Swift assuring Alwyn that she and The 1975 frontman were just friends, rumors of her relationship with Healy began swirling just weeks after Swift and Alwyn announced the end of their six-year-long relationship.
An insider revealed that Alwyn is heartbroken about how quickly the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker has moved on. According to the source, Alwyn had placed his “trust” in Swift when she started collaborating with Healy during the final months of their relationship.
The insider told the Daily Mail that “Joe feels slighted and is distraught after seeing her budding relationship with Matt, but is doing his best to keep busy and focus on himself.”

However, on January 12, Swift shocked her fans by giving an impromptu performance of her latest hit, “Anti-Hero,” during The 1975’s concert at the renowned O2 Arena in London. The insider explained that “Joe was aware that Taylor and Matt were making music together and collaborating. She told him they had become friends, and he trusted her.”
