[@stillfangirlingtoday1468]

I think he didn't want to be associated with Taylor publicly and I can understand that. He was back then a new actor, trying to build his name, if he talked about Taylor, who is infinitely bigger than him, what then? People would accuse him of using her name for clout, for work opportunities. They already do that and he barely spoke of her publicly.

[@LydiaCaster]

Honestly, I've always hated people saying he's trying to get famous through her or he is annoyed by how she is a lot more famous than him. He literally did the least he could possibly have done for his public image with this relationship. A selfie together from time to time would already have attracted so much more attention to him, yet he didn't even do that, and that really also would have been nothing. With how cruel tabloids can be and how crazy some fans are, I get he tried his very best to keep the entire relationship behind closed doors

[@britthunt5707]

That is so true, he actually had to be private or people would have accused him of that, but that can happen with anyone who dates someone that is more famous or richer than they are. People are suspicious, but sadly they learn to be that way from the many who take advantage and use people for gain.

[@laclochard]

I can't believe people even fans are really trying so hard to defend Joe. Oh please. Taylor loved him so much and that's why you see him in such a great light. But let's be real. He has always come across as BITTER. While Taylor has always publicly supported him. And it's clear he never liked Taylor being a worldwide superstar. He wishes she was caged in her house and not out there shining as bright as she is going to because like you said SHE IS TAYLOR SWIFT. She became obsessed about 'separating her personal and work life' as if that's possible. I mean her work is not something that she 'does' it's what she IS, she is an artist, she likes expressing herself and connecting to the public, that's who she IS. He clearly hated it, he wanted her to shine less, to occupy less space, to exist LESS. I hope people stop making excuses for this dude. Like 'he didn't do anything', yeah that's right, he has played his thing right, in a more passive aggressive way. I can't believe people are buying it. Taylor DESERVES BETTER. She deserves a real man who truly loves her.

[@privateacademymoonshine6719]

(I'm literally 5 minutes into the video so this might be addressed later but) I just want to note that I think it mostly just depends on their personalities. Taylor has always been very talkative and enthusiastic and Joe is just... kinda quiet, I think. If you watch any interviews where he isn't talking about Taylor, he also gives one-word answers, is kind of dismissive -- I think he's just a quiet, "shy" person. And also, we shouldn't forget that, while for Taylor, questions about Joe are rare, Alwyn probably gets asked about Taylor ALL THE TIME, because, again, he's just *some guy*. I suppose it must get annoying after a while, and then the answers start to get shorter and more dismissive. I don't know, I might be wrong tho. + I wanna add that Taylor probably has more opportunities to talk about him, as she gets interviewed more often. Joe probably gets like 2 interviews a year or sumn idk

[@mayas883]

[@codasylphanthi2187]

This exactly. I also find it really annoying when people act like there is one way to react to things. Like, "if you were *really* in love you would be like this." Dude just strikes me as uncomfortable in interview settings. There's nothing wrong with that.

[@romasimpson3064]

I think Joe gave her a normal life and was a true friend and because of her career and what she is worth it will be very hard for anyone to be in a relationship with her as everyone will be saying she has a better career Joe is a actor and was a actor before he met Taylor and he is a person who does not want to be in the limelight all the time I think Joe wants to succeed on his own and does not want to be using his relationship with Taylor to achieve his success And it looks that Taylor was maybe more into her relationship with Joe And if he always talked about Taylor you would be blaming him for jumping on the bandwagon It seems no matter what he says it is a fault and Taylor wanted to keep their relationship private but then she went on to talk about it It is very hard to please both you and Taylor she was in a relationship with someone normal which I think helped her reputation and steady her life Taylor was having so many break in the four or five years before she met Joe And so what she is a a very good singer and had a very active love life and who knows where she would have been if she had not had a steady solid relationship And I think that is what attracted Taylor to Joe because he is a private person and you have talked the biggest load of rubbish and are just jealous of his relationship with Taylor If she wanted Joe to talk more about their relationship they would have spilt up before now Again I don't think Taylor will find another person who will respect her wishes and give her a peace and stability like Joe We don't know who decided to part or maybe they have decided between themselves and realised that it had come to a end and they say it is because of their careers that they are both busy so Joe has a career to not as big or has the same money but he is his own man and does not live of Taylor and wants to make his own career and money But Taylor has had a seventeen years of a career and Joe has only half of them I wonder how in another eight or nine years where Joe will be I hope he will have a successful career and a wife and family Taylor is going to be like Paris Hilton and leave it to late to have a normal family life all the success and money and trophies and awards does not makeup for the happiness of having someone by your side I wish Taylor all the success in her career and life

The guy is very private, very secretive about his life, whereas Taylor is someone who wrote soooo many songs about her past relationships and past breakups. I can imagine how he didnt want to start discussing their relationship, or talking about Taylor herself, for fear he'd spiral down this media rabbit hole where he'd have to reveal more and more things about their private life.

@@laclochard Here no one was the bad one or the good one, it was very obvious that it was not compatible, because of the lifestyle and way of seeing life. Taylor can't have a private life, because she is very famous, and her music is based on love and heartbreak. Her ex, wants a quiet life, that relationship just destined to fail.

[@inputlunasano723]

@@laclochard In my opinion you need have things in common with your partner to make it work, opposites can be attracted but love is not enough. Sometimes I think that Taylor Swift idealises her partners, she falls in love with that man a lot, but that guy doesn't. We can see it with all her partners, she really fall in love, but sometimes people get scared with that.

[@cruisevampire]

I believe the William Bowery pseudonym was just as much for Taylor's benefit as Joe's. It allowed the music they wrote together to start off as equal as to her other songs. Without any "oh you let your BOYFRIEND hitch a ride on your song to get a Grammy?" She got to explain who he was & the work he did in one breath instead of having to correct people's assumptions. Joe got to have his writing ability judged by the public without the shield of being Taylor's partner. Then once the songs were loved by their listeners it became an open secret.

​@@laclochard Admit it, you're undoubtedly biased. You are the one blaming Joe and bringing up the same arguments over and over again. He DID care and support her, and judging by her songs and even her Netflix documentary, Taylor is literally aware of this. You're already drawing conclusions about the relationship even though we don't know the details and don't even know whether the rumours are real or not beyond a few lines from an unknown source. You're the one who's twisting his words. It's already difficult that something so private to both Taylor and Joe is being milked, and now you're criticizing one of them, when it's really none of our business.

If Joe had a hard boundary that he didn’t want to talk about his private relationship to the press, I don’t think it’s fair of fans or the public to look at that and assume that that means that he wasn’t a good partner. When it comes down to it, we have no idea who celebrities are behind closed doors nor what their relationships are like.

[@idontevenknow2717]

one of them had had 20 years of media training and has so much experience navigating public romantic relationships and one of them literally is a small indie actor who has never had any public relationship before and is obviously very uncomfortable being asked personal questions? i think it's really strange to analyze someone's intimate relationship based on how people act when they're placed in a small room being caught off guard and a camera in their face being asked personal questions by strangers. the reason taylor liked joe (from what we know based on songs) is that he was so normal and made her feel normal. he was uncomfortable answering questions because he wanted it to be normal and not sensationalized by the media, he knew if he gave them anything more they'd just want more and more all the time. it's wild to say you're a fan of taylor and then immediately do something she's been vocal about hating, which is make assumptions about her and a relationships when it's none of our business.

[@ananyaverma57]

Exactly....my heart has been aching since yesterday because I ADORE Cooper but this video made me really upset

[@gilbertanne88]

Well said- especially about the media training; she also writes about her love life and hence is asked these questions. For him except for his work on Folklore/ Evermore, there was no need to answer any of the personal questions

[@LydiaCaster]

The media training is also exactly what I am thinking about. I can imagine if he decided to reveal something about their relationship, he would instantly regret it since he probably doesn't really know how to navigate these situations spontaneously. Also, altough it might be boring for the fans, he is in his full right to not have his private feelings be public domain at all. The question about his favourite song could have been scrutinised to death if he had given a substantial answer. In the end, the sad thing is, he tries to be quiet to probably avoid all of this scrutiny, yet, his silence ends up being subjected to it

I'm not sure whether it is the culture we are in today or social media but have we become this shallow that we judge if love is real or a relationship is strong/ good by how performative they are in the public eye ? It is better to have someone root for you, support you and stay with you during your darkest times and see you for the real you than a partner who will go gush about you in red carpet interviews or magazine profiles and generate endless news stories and gossip about you This is so unfair to a man who has not dropped his girlfriend's name to gain clout/ media attention .

Joe just isn’t. Taylor is incredibly media trained and knows exactly how much to say, what to leave out and how to make it sound good.

Listen I know Taylor Swift is a goddess and everything and I really admire her a lot, but let's be real here - it's kind of funny how swifties are turning their backs on Joe the moment the breakup news broke out. Let's be real here, a relationship has two sides and if the split up really was amicable, that means none of them were the villain here. Once again regarding this "he's poor", "he's just an actor" these are very very hurtful to say to anyone let alone Joe, it's just sad how we can always say something at any given moment without thinking how those words might affect the other person. Yes, it's okay to support Taylor but you have to be respectful to the other person involved here as well because they too, are a person with emotions and feelings and you don't really know what's going on in their lives. And about the public comments, Joe Alwyn, from my understanding, is someone who gives his privacy a lot of importance and so, doesn't like talking about his personal life. We don't really know how he was behind closed doors, but from her songs, we can clearly see he supported her during one of the hardest times of her life. Another point that I'd like to add is that Joe Alwyn almost always got asked about Taylor in his solo works and even when he was out and about, fans were asking him about Taylor. Even the comments under his solo works you can see almost all of them are somehow related to him being about "Taylor's Boyfriend" or "nepo bf" and that must really hurt lmao.

From the very limited insight we have into how their relationship was and everything, I think Joe kept so hush-hush during the interviews so that way the Press would have a lot less to work with to spin his interviews negatively and I think Taylor is already at the point where she understands that the press and that people can twist anything into whatever they want regardless of what you do or don't give them, so why would she be so withholding about basic details in conversations. And with Joe it's just kind of like how you're saying we already know you're in a long-term committed relationship would it really hurt to praise your significant other instead of speaking about it literally as little as physically possible. like when he does that it just comes across as him preparing for the end you know like preparing for those ex compilation videos.

Talking the truth about this man is not being toxic. Of course the fans wanted them to be together. But je has been disappointing and it is the right time to talk about all the things that were shady about him. He never loved her for who she is. He was borderline trying to make as if she didn't even exist in her life, he would not even once just say that he loved her after years together. He wanted her to exist less, and the sad thing is she tried. Stop making excuses for this man. Taylor deserved better and that's the truth.

[@ValentineValmadre]

All of this Joe Alwyn hate is unnecessary and petty. Joe is an actor, Taylor has NOTHING to do with his work. Asking him questions about his love-life is invasive, he is incredibly private and if he doesn't want to divulge in personal information, if he doesn't want to answer them, he doesn't have to. Taylor is a musician, of course she's going to talk about him more, he's the muse of so many of her songs. Taylor is more well known, he doesn't want his career to become about her, which is fair. You can't assume that Joe is at fault just because you love Taylor. I'm such a massive Taylor fan but I will say, we never got Joe's side of the story, and we may never get it. At the end of the day, we aren't owed Joe's side, and we aren't owed an explanation to why the relationship went awry. If Taylor and Joe wanted their relationship to be private, it's safe to say that their break up should be given the same respect. A breakup is extremely painful, especially one of 6 years. All of this media attention and speculation in the comments is so disrespectful. Give them time to grieve the loss of something so painful. Sure, they're both public figures, but they're also both humans who are probably going through a terrible time.

@@laclochard im not trying to be rude but could you please give Specific examples of what you think makes him sound bitter? genuinely, i am autistic, I cannot tell what you're pointing to; my aim is not to cause conflict. The words he is saying are in line with someone who is a bit reserved and/or uncomfortable in interviews. He isn't saying much, and if you ask me to come up with a reason for that, bitterness seems just as plausible as being shy or trying not to mooch off of Taylor's fame so he can avoid claims of that. He clearly doesn't want to talk about Taylor, but what indicates that it's because of bitterness over wanting to keep his romantic life and work life separate? Apart from the literal words he is speaking, I have no context clues to tell me what the implied reason behind his silence is. This video and your comment are confusing to me because it seems as if you're jumping to the conclusion you want to hear rather than actually explaining why it's more likely than any others, and that is NOT an accusation ofc: I'm explaining what it Looks like because i'm pretty sure it's not what's actually happening. I know I'm missing something here, so this is me asking for clarification on ur perspective instead of just writing it off :] I hope that makes sense, I just genuinely don't get what exactly he's doing that makes dismissiveness more likely than him being a private person. I see no evidence pointing towards Taylor being upset with specifically the way he acts in interviews (for all we know the breakup could be about something in their personal lives we've never seen), but I'm not trying to claim there isn't any there at all. I just need it pointed out, if it exists.

He just wants to keep things private. He's a quiet guy, and that's ok. At the end of the day, we don't know what was going on behind the scenes. The second the news got out that they broke up, people turned against him, completely forgetting all the good he has done for her over the years. In the Miss Americana documentary, she discusses why they want to keep their relationship private. It's understandable why he didn't want to talk about it. I'm sorry Cooper, but this was painful to watch. I feel like most of this was just you being jealous and villainizing him in anyway. Real Swifties know how good Joe is. If you watch the Prime Concert from 2019 (I think) she was looking at him the whole time, singing her love songs directly to him. Just let them live their lives.

I can't believe people even fans are really trying so hard to defend Joe. Oh please. Taylor loved him so much and that's why you see him in such a great light. But let's be real. He has always come across as BITTER. While Taylor has always publicly supported him. And it's clear he never liked Taylor being a worldwide superstar. He wishes she was caged in her house and not out there shining as bright as she is going to because like you said SHE IS TAYLOR SWIFT. She became obsessed about 'separating her personal and work life' as if that's possible. I mean her work is not something that she 'does' it's what she IS, she is an artist, she likes expressing herself and connecting to the public, that's who she IS. He clearly hated it, he wanted her to shine less, to occupy less space, to exist LESS. I hope people stop making excuses for this dude. Like 'he didn't do anything', yeah that's right, he has played his thing right, in a more passive aggressive way. I can't believe people are buying it. Taylor DESERVES BETTER.

So no, I think you're very wrong about the whole "not appreciating enough" point.

You can't label someone as a bad boyfriend on that kind of an argument. It's kinda stupid tbh

maybe this is just cuz I'm not a huge swiftie, but idk, I feel like I can kinda sympathize with Joe. I mean, no one really knows the intentions behind his dismissiveness, but maybe he just wanted to avoid an association with her because he didn't want to feel like he was riding along her success. I think it's humble in a way to want your own work to speak for itself, and that would be a bit hard if everyone saw him as "Taylor Swift's Boyfriend." I'm sure it was already hard enough to avoid the "people only care about you because you're dating her" comments. I doubt he had a problem being associated with her, but just didn't want to gain undeserved attention for his relationship rather than his work.

[@fakeidonthaveahandle]

So Joe and Taylor said openly they wanted a private relationship and Joe was the only one that held up his intentions. He's BEEN saying mind your business and he means it. Taylor isn't wrong for showing love publicly, but she or anyone else shouldn't expect the same form Joe because he said he doesn't like the public show. Once he's married, it's too late.

And the fact that he’d rather keep their relationship more private and talk about work when *doing his job* getting interviewed is completely valid, I think it’s stupid to judge someone for keeping quiet when they say their relationship is private, people express their love in different ways, which don’t have to be public.

[@novalachlan5091]

Looking back on the way she talks about their relationship in her songs, I sort of overlooked how much they seem to have fought. Big fights get mentioned all the time, in songs like Cornelia Street, False God, Afterglow, Me!, and The Great War. She also mentioned really resisting getting together with him at first, and not knowing where their relationship is going, like in Dress, Getaway Car, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Cruel Summer, and Paper Rings. One of the things I've related to most about her songs since getting together with him is how she seemed to struggle to recontextualize the idea of relationships after having been in so many emotionally difficult situations - songs like The Archer, Delicate, Don't Blame Me, and Anti-Hero. I have a theory that to her, he was so incredible because he was the first person who made her feel seen and supported, and he may not have had that same struggle. Maybe the good parts of their relationship didn't surprise him that way. Maybe a misalignment of perspective made the bad parts of the relationship even more difficult. They say the relationship "ran its course". Maybe they grew together enough to realize the problems were something they didn't want to deal with anymore. My point is, I think the relationship can be both good and bad. It can be extremely good that it happened, and also very good that they're both moving on now. Relationships are so difficult and hope they both got a lot out of their time together.

I think she was openly complimentary towards him because she has so much fame and success and wants her S.O. or people helping her to share the success. I think he's more dismissive because he wanted to be careful not to be only "Taylor swift's S.O." but instead his own person. Also, the questions directed at her about him were also about her and her music. The questions directed at him about her were pretty much just about her. If he's at a red carpet for something he did, maybe he doesn't want to talk about her acting because this is supposed to be his moment. But every moment is actually Taylor swift's moment and that's gotta be hard to navigate for a relatively unknown actor

He seems to be shy, and as an actor that not very well known other than this relationship, the media and some of Taylor’s fans would definitely accuse him of using her for fame. If I was in his position, I would do the same. He’s seen how Taylor’s actions can be misconstrued, and his could be too. There’s nothing wrong with not “gushing” or “worshipping” your partner in public, that doesn’t mean Joe had bad intentions. Again, he didn’t want to be accused of using her for fame, when clearly they were both in love. If they are broken up, I don’t think either party should receive hate for their actions.

But I think at the reputation point in her life it was beneficial for her to have someone who didn’t care about her as a public figure but now she’s more comfortable and realizing she wants someone who publicly admires her more and wants to be seen as her bf and is openly proud of her, which sort of explains her choosing someone controversial who is also famous and clearly not afraid of what people will say about him and openly very complimentary of her and her work

[@Lifeofprithi]

I don't understand one simple thing. What Taylor Swift or her Fanbase actually wants? She was very public with Calvin Harris, used to post pictures with him on Instagram but she eventually cheated on him and started dating Tom Hiddelston in just some weeks after break up. Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift had some issues but people were defending TS by saying "He deserves to be cheated!" Tom Hiddelston is a very popular, handsome, secure, supportive man. He always appreciated Taylor Swift, always wanted to talk about her on interviews, he was very public about their Relationship but Taylor Swift and her Fanbase didn’t like it, they called him "Nepo boyfriend" ; she broke up with him by making excuses like "he was just a rebound" "he was TOO public" and so on. Then she started dating Joe Alwyn who's "Jobless, boring, insecure" according to Swifties. When she needed to hide he was her escape route, he loved her, believed in her when the whole world was turning against her, pulled her from horrible times, wrote songs with her and according to her songs he was a great partner. People appreciated him for not taking advantage of Taylor Swift, being private and so on. Now after the breakup they're saying "He didn’t appreciate her" "He caged her" "He didn’t let her bejeweled" "He didn’t talk about her enough" "He was TOO private" blah blah I mean can you guys please decide first what Taylor Swift wants from a Relationship instead of blaming these men for nothing? Learn to take accountability for GOD sake. She isn’t a saint.

[@nush2407]

Just because you don't understand privacy and boundaries doesn't mean Joe is a bad guy.

[@athenajaxon2397]

He seems nice I get not wanting to talk about your significant other to random members of the press. Plus he's still an up and coming actor so he's not as media trained

[@LydiaCaster]

that's the thing, these are random ass people he should be revealing his love life to.. in today's climate that sounds normal, but if you are detached from social media and tabloids etc., it really just isn't

[@mozzarella3991]

"How long could we be a sad song 'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life? ‼I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy‼ And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier Fighting in only your army ‼Frontlines, don't you ignore me‼ I'm the best thing at this party (You're losin' me) And I wouldn't marry me either A pathological people pleaser Who only wanted you to see her And I'm fadin', thinkin' "Do something, babe, ‼say something‼"

[@rylymbona]

We Stan Joe. If Taylor's songs are anything to go by, we know that he's a good man. We don't know the details yet and he doesn't deserve any criticism whatsoever.

[@anisanurraudah8383]

Q: Why do you like Taylor Swift so much? A: I love her because she makes great music and is such a great performer. Her albums are so versatile, ranging from country, pop, and alternative. She is also a great musician who plays guitar, banjo, and piano. Q: Why do you stan Joe Alwyn? A: He is a good partner for Taylor Swift LMAO

[@lolavota403]

let’s listen to “you’re losing me” and regroup

[@buckyyyb]

countless people have praised their partner and then have it turn out to not be true. and if they are, then you’ll understand where she’s coming from on you’re losing me

[@nyra_708]

Taylor literally SAID that their relationship isn't up for discussion..and u r literally DISCUSSING it?dudeee💀

I think he’s jealous of joe.

[@octoberbabyyy]

​@@ardenalexa94yeah cooper is being SO parasocial in this video like wth

[@eecolme]

Ok i get where you are going with this but at the same time there is people who enjoy having a private life and not sharing a lot. My co-workers know i am in a relationship yet i never talk about my partner in from of them a disregard all their questions whenever i see they are curious about something but that doesn’t mean i’m hiding my partner, i just hate sneaky people in my business

[@marta4593]

okay but if he was going around, gushing over her everywhere he went, people would just accuse him of chasing clout and trying to become a nepo boyfriend whatever he would've done throughout the six years of their relationship, people would criticize because this man can't "win" against taylor there's really nothing we know about what came down in their relationship, so we really should just let two adult people end their relationship in a civil way sometimes things just don't work out and it's fine

[@diabeticparxie]

Obviously this is offputting. But imagine everytime you have an interview for something you did, everyone only asked about what your girlfriend? Maybe he felt that if there was anything going on in their relationship he wanted to let her share it since shes the one with the larger fanbase. Maybe they just have different ways of showing love.

[@beccivoyante]

You know he’s a swiftie because he predicted all the themes in You’re Losing Me

[@roop6295]

Matty Healy is the best bf she’s ever had but some of y’all aren’t ready for that conversation

[@saaaa9600]

Tbh I also think so , he really respects her as an artist and he shows it , i've been seeing his interviews he is actually the opposite of what media portrays him to be .

[@greatminds1017]

This aged well😂

[@Lifeofprithi]

​@@greatminds1017 this is how swifties talk about her bf until they broke up 😂😂😂😂

[@audreyhepburn2308]

Whoever had or has a chance to meet Taylor swift or idk date her for 6 years is the luckiest man in my books But idk why I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that they broke up

[@fragilem1lk]

This really gives more insight into You're Losing Me...

[@Yourlocalprocrastinator]

Alternative title: Reasons why Taylor swift would be happier with me

[@jQjinn]

tbh i dont think him avoiding talking taylor swift was something was rude in any way as an actor he needs to care about his image and how he presents himself thats how the industry work being with someone so much more famous put in a postion where most people know him as taylors boyfriend and obviously he should fend from that and try to avoid taylor much as possible and im pretty sure they talked about it taylor has been in the industry for so many she knows too

[@drockherb2073]

Look I don’t have any skin in the game, but the way these Stan bases are today, I could see him worried about bringing her up or talking bout her often then being chewed out for using her as clout etc but then also at some point you can look/ seem happy when asked about her not like you are filming a hostage video

[@Goth_Bat]

You have to remember he’s an up and coming actor and Taylor has years of experience w/ the press. He’s probably not used to it yet and/or just antisocial

[@drockherb2073]

@@Goth_Bat I can see both sides

[@samiharahman1700]

I think he wanted to talk about his career and movie and didn’t want to seem like he was getting fame for his girlfriend. Joe has been personal about all of his life and I feel like this is why they broke up, the constant talking about taylor swift and not his work. Must have been frustrating.

[@georgiaonmymind2000]

Wow! That was an amazing video! Incredibly smart, creative, sincere, genuine. I love your take into their story and agree 💯! I'm sure it took a lot of time to research all videos, do the editing, etc. But without you hitting the nail every single time it wouldn't have worked. You've got a new fan!😂🎉

[@belle8732]

i think he didn't want to be known for being her boyfriend or fiancé and that's why he doesn't answer the questions so enthusiastically. everyone in that business would like to be known for their work and not for interpersonal reasons

[@Goth_Bat]

Yeah or he could just be an antisocial guy bc he’s not as used to the press

[@tanusree3517]

or maybe he just sucked

[@wild.chuckles2453]

i think that the song peace is a huge red flag for their relationship. “your integrity makes me feel small”

[@jazzytocaboca4014]

i love ur channel so much

[@Blep_404]

I can see Joe trying to separate Taylor and him BECAUSE she’s famous. Think about it, she’s famous so obviously everyone is going to be talking about her so maybe he made a distance because he wanted to be known for his acting and not because he was in a relationship with her.

[@michaelahowland6558]

She deserves to be shown off too💜

[@gesda67]

Not you actually predicting ken’s storyline in the barbie movie, I’m impressed

[@kristiekershaw2243]

He was constantly trying to minimize the effect of her shine. On him, on their relationship, on the way she moved through the world. He wanted her to be less. Less famous, less sparkling, less effusive, less emotional, less HER. He also was withholding. Totally reminds me of Tolerate It lyrics, and of course, Stop You're Losing Me - the grand finale to their story..." Do something, babe, say something, Lose something, babe, risk something, Choose something, babe, I got nothing...to believe...unless, you're choosing me."

[@greatminds1017]

... that was about marriage, but most don't last in the celeb world with everyone nitpicking. And she was never less her. She was very prolific during their relationship. How him not mentioning her as a growing actor while promoting work when other actors don't have to deal with any of this is bizzare to me.

[@NormaLilia24]

Ok but side note, love your wall gallery

[@saravtt]

Off topic but you’re background gallery wall whatever you wanna call it is SO BEAUTIFUL

[@doratarani192]

When Cooper predicted “You’re Losing Me” almost by line WHA-

[@charlie_270]

unrelated but watching any of coopers videos in 1.5x speed is fkn hilarious.

[@likesapphoherself]

the fact that you seem to neglect is that taylor swift is a grown woman. it's ridiculous to insinuate that he was a bad person or mistreated her in their relationship because of his PR statements. it might be hard for you to comprehend but you don't know him or taylor. taking out five second youtube clips doesn't mean you know them. listening and dissecting her music doesn't mean you know them. i understand that you want to only ever speak good about taylor, but in this instance, you don't have to put him down to praise her. you don't have to pick sides in an amicable relationship. the way you talk about both of these people (including someone you're a fan of) is incredibly disheartening as it is focusing on such trivial matters and using them to determine whether someone is a good partner or not. the fact is, relationships like these exist behind closed doors much more than they do out in the open. for all we know, joe could've been a perfect boyfriend, and they could've just drifted apart. as someone who deals with shyness, watching you accuse someone of being a bad boyfriend because he's closed off and private makes me entirely uncomfortable. also, if you will, consider how taylor swift would feel about this sort of thing. she's gotten so much backlash in the past for merely having relationships. her exes are always villainized by her fans despite the full story never being known. just because they broke up, doesn't mean you have to hate joe alwyn. he's a real person, not a trend. i love your videos, and your editing style, but this take seems oversimplified and incredibly biased. i feel sorry for both taylor and joe that their existence has to be picked apart this critically.

[@bbyghostie1044]

Yeah I've never heard of Joe before, but I can kinda relate to his awkwardness and the walls he has up for privacy. The part where the interviewer asked him if he ever sings at home? I did not pick up that it was a question meant to get him talking about Taylor. I can kinda see it after it was explained, but questions like that with hidden intentions can be confusing for some people. So seeing him be criticized for not being able to read between the lines felt off. I've been in that position plenty of times. It's incredibly frustrating when people get upset that you dont guess what they really mean instead of just asking a straightforward question. And thats not even getting into the dynamics of celebrity gossip and being a small actor dating a super star. I couldn't imagine being picked apart for maybe awkwardly navigating that mine field. I really enjoy these videos, but I think a lot of the criticisms here unintentionally painted a broad brush over people who are introverted/private/struggle socially.
