Taylor Swift Steps Out With Boyfriend Joe Alwyn In New York City

Is Taylor Swift officially out of hiding? It sure looks that way!

In addition to the ongoing promotion for her new album, Reputation, Swift appears to be ready to get back to her life in the spotlight in New York City, where the 27-year-old “Gorgeous” singer was recently spotted walking hand-in-hand with her boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn

On December 9, Us Weekly magazine shared an image of Swift and Alwyn with readers and revealed that the outing in the Big Apple came just one day after the actor was seen supporting Swift backstage at the Jingle Ball.

During the outing, Swift was seen showing off her long legs in a plaid skirt and jacket combo with a pair of studded boots. As for Alwyn, he appeared to be more casual in a pair of jeans, a sweater, and a bomber jacket.

According to the report, Alwyn supported his leading lady at the end of last week with an appearance backstage at Madison Square Garden — and he wasn’t the only one. In fact, there were quite a few famous Swift pals backstage at the event, including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Jack Antonoff, Dear Evan Hanson‘s Ben Platt, and Ed Sheeran.

An insider told the magazine that Swift had her very own private party backstage at Madison Square Garden prior to the Jingle Ball. However, she arrived only with her boyfriend Alwyn.

Earlier this year, a source told Us Weekly magazine that Swift and Alwyn are enjoying a low-key relationship following a few very high-profile relationships for Swift, including flings with Harry Styles, Tom Hiddleston, and her months-long relationship with Calvin Harris.
