The Grammy Awards winner's publicist, Tree Paine, did not hold back in shutting down the speculations, accusing a celebrity gossip account of causing "pain and trauma" with baseless claims.

Paine, who has been leading the 33-year-old's publicity team since 2014, has been a visible figure at various events with the songwriter, emphasizing the credibility of her denial against the rumors.

The Premium PR founder responded to a screenshot of an Instagram Story in which the handler Deuxmoi alleged that Swift and Alwyn had a non-legal ceremony in 2020 or 2021. 

Paine heatedly took to X, (formerly Twitter), to address it head-on, stating, "Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi. There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind." She then gave the warning, writing:

"This is an insane thing to post. It's time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these." 

ICYMI, Swift's split with the actor was officially announced in April after six years together, and since then, the "Bad Blood" singer has been linked to NFL player Travis Kelce.

The increased intensity of the drama started when fans revisited the breakup after singer and producer Jack Antonoff celebrated his collaboration with the star along with a timeline of Swift's latest release.

The song, believed to be about her breakup with the "Boy Erased" actor in April, sparked a debate among fans trying to decipher the actual timeline of their separation. Lyrics from the track hint at the emotional toll of the breakup, with Swift contemplating whether to discard their shared history or preserve it

The song's bridge delved deeper into the "Cats" actress' emotional turmoil, expressing her struggles with self-love and the challenges of being a "pathological people pleaser."

Fans were quick to react to Antonoff's revelation, speculating on the song's release timing and its connection to the breakup, like this devotee who extensively mused:

"You gotta listen to you're losing me, it's devastatingggg and she released it after Midnights as an exclusive tour CD after she and Joe broke up and Jack Antonoff just came on, and was like teehee this was actually two years ago and then logged off for the night."

Another admired Antonoff's friendship, stating, "He's such a true bestie he's like don't get this twisted this man was doing her dirty for ages." A hurt Swiftie added, "This hurts my heart. How long was she hurting over this? Renegade is so obviously about Joe now that we see how clearly she was hurting. Joe Alwyn when I catch you."

Before this revelation, the "Harriet" star made a public appearance at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, marking his return to the spotlight since the May breakup. On the red carpet at London's Royal Opera House, the 32-year-old exuded style in a white dress shirt, black leather jacket, matching slacks, wristwatch, bracelet, tie, and boots.

However, as critics attempted to tarnish his image by sharing an old image from Swift's 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour, insinuating he was "forced to be" there, fans swiftly came to Alwyn's defense. One supporter urged critics to leave him alone, emphatically stating:

"I need y'all to leave Joe Alwyn alone at least he had the b— to sign the ceasefire letter."

Another shared video evidence of the "Conversations With Friends" actor at the concert, emphasizing how some try to rewrite history, asking Swifties to move on from the unwarranted hate towards Alwyn.

Someone else contrasted Alwyn's compassionate actions with Swift's subsequent dating choices, noting, "Taylor Swift dated a raging misogynistic racist right after her and Joe broke up. She hasn't said s— about Palestine. Joe hasn't dated anyone + signed the ceasefire petition.!But Joe Alwyn is the villain in that situation."

Apparently, days leading up to the prestigious event, "The Favourite" actor had added his signature to the "Artist Call for Ceasefire Now" petition, urging President Joe Biden and the U.S. Congress to intervene for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel.

This heartwarming gesture resonated with many, prompting the University of Bristol alum's followers to come out in full force to defend him.
