From Joe to Harry: A Comprehensive Guide to Taylor Swift's Celeb Exes

Taylor Swift's lyrics are always full of melancholy, reflecting the singer's experiences in numerous romantic relationships. Her songs seem to be cautionary autobiographical, as if they're written to warn fans that men are not worth it. Okay, maybe some of them are, but still — love is a minefield and you gotta watch out.

Not so long ago, the pop diva broke up with British actor Joe Alwyn. There are also rumors about her new romance with the vocalist of The 1975, Matty Healy. And as Taylor pours her heart out on The Eras Tour, we decided to compile a list of her most famous exes with whom the relationship has definitely been confirmed.

7. Joe Jonas

One of Taylor's first relationships was with Joe Jonas, an actor and member of the pop-rock band the Jonas Brothers. It was also one of the singer's most traumatic relationships, as in 2008, Jonas broke up with her just three months later… over the phone. The Swifties have every right to hate him!

6. Taylor Lautner

Taylor and the hero of her song 'Back to December,' also Taylor, met in October 2009 on the set of the romantic comedy Valentine's Day. And, as the song's title suggests, they broke up in December. But despite all the pain, Lautner was not the terrible partner, according to the lyrics.

5. Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake is the hero of Swift's song 'All Too Well,' which became a heartbreak anthem for many. The track was supposed to be 20 minutes long (Jake, why did you hurt her so much) but was cut to six, although a 10-minute version was released in 2021. The relationship also lasted a short time, from October 2010 to January 2011.

4. Harry Styles

The brief romance with Styles was also a major source of inspiration for the singer, as Swift wrote her songs 'Style' and 'Out of the Woods' after the breakup, both of which specifically reference the former One Direction member. The couple split in 2013.

3. Calvin Harris

From March 2015 to June 2016, Taylor dated Scottish DJ Calvin Harris. It was Harris who initiated the breakup, and fans can't help but blame the man — how could someone break such an innocent heart as Swift's?

2. Tom Hiddleston

'It's blue, the feeling I've got,' Swift sang — and so are Hiddleston's beloved blue sweaters. Their romance didn't last long either. Although Tom clearly adored Taylor, he wanted their relationship to be more public while the singer preferred to keep her love life private (she wasn't particularly good at it, though).

1. Joe Alwyn

Swift's relationship with the British actor, which lasted just over six years, ended on a tragic note as the stars broke up earlier this year. This was one of the most memorable romances for Taylor's fans, and one of her most private ones too.
