Taylor Swift’s publicist slams ‘crazy’ Joe Alwyn wedding rumors

Taylor Swift‘s old publicist, Tree Painwould really like her client to be excluded from one particular story about ex Joe Alwyn.

Paine cleared the air on social media on Thursday, November 30, after an Instagram story shared by DeuxMoi embraced a theory that Swift, 33, and Alwyn, 32, were secretly married before ending their six-year relationship. The report claimed a ceremony took place “in 2020 or 2021” but claimed the marriage had not been made legal.

Take to X (formerly Twitter) On Thursday evening, Paine shared a screenshot of the blind item. “Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Deuxmoi’s Taylor,” she wrote. “There was NEVER a wedding or ceremony of any kind. This is an insane thing to post. It’s time you are held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with messages like this.”

Swift’s fans praised “Mother Tree” in the comments section for putting an end to the speculation, but DeuxMoi doubled down on the wedding story. (The person who manages the account has remained anonymous over the years.)

“Well I make zero dollars lying… can publicists say the same,” read a subsequent Instagram story from the account. “Also, linking something that refers to something that happened years ago and ‘pain and trauma’ after what just happened seems like a poor choice of words. Anyway, my apologies to Taylor.”

We weekly confirmed in April that Swift and Alwyn had called it quits. A source said this exclusively at the time Us that “fame played a role” in the former couple’s decision.

“Joe is very shy and didn’t like all the attention that came with dating one of the most popular singers in the world,” the insider added, noting that Swift wasn’t “to blame” for the breakup. “[Joe] I just didn’t like having to be on all the time.”
