When did Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn break up?

As soon as the news about Taylor and Joe’s break up hit the headlines, Swifties began wondering when they might have actually parted ways. Now, some fans have worked out a possible time period based on a setlist change by Taylor on her Eras Tour.

Fans noted that Taylor swapped her song Invisible Strings from Folklore to The 1 on March 31. While the former is a love song, the latter happens to be about a lost love. Since then, Taylor has continued singing the second song on her shows. However, it should be noted that Taylor does swap out songs from her setlist every now and then.

However, if the change is taken as the basis for the breakup, then, fans believe, that the split might have happened between March 25, when she last played Invisible Strings, and March 31^st.

On April 1^st, Selena Gomez was also spotted attending Taylor’s concert with her sister Gracie. It might be possible that the Rare singer was there to provide moral and emotional support for her BFF during her breakup.
