Taylor Swift’s new album and new romance may have been to blame for her rumored decision to skip her annual Fourth of July party.

According to a new report, the 27-year-old singer is doing her best to stay out of the public eye and focus instead on her career and actor boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

“ really meant it when she said she didn’t want to be seen or heard from much for the rest of 2017 after her Super Bowl weekend performance,” a source close to the singer revealed to Hollywood Life on July 5.

In recent months, Swift has been seen just a handful of times and soon, she is expected to release new music.

Taylor Swift is a busy bee

“She is hard at work on a new album, working on her relationship and spending time with family and just relaxing as much as she possibly can before she starts to ramp up everything again in early 2018. So the hoopla surrounding her Fourth of July party was something she didn’t want this year, but without question she will have future bashes to make up for not going all out this year,” the insider explained.

Taylor Swift began dating Joe Alwyn months ago

Swift and Alwyn first faced rumors of a romance earlier this year but it wasn’t until the end of May when they were seen together for the first time. Since then, they have been seen with one another  in London and Tennessee.
