It's thought Joe and Taylor met at the 2016 MET Gala, and fans have matched the lyrics in her song ‘Dress’ to that evening.

The lyrics include: “Flashback to when you met me, your buzzed cut and my hair bleached,” which seemingly refers to her bleach blonde locks and his shaven hair from that night.

In May 2017 it was reported that the couple had been seeing each other for months, and have kept it very lowkey since then.

Taylor and Joe are reportedly engaged! The pair are said to have got engaged during a trip to Cornwall in the New Year, but have kept it between themselves and their close friends and family ever since.

The couple first sparked engagement rumours back in 2019 after she shared a cryptic Instagram caption along with a photo from her Vogue shoot, which saw the songstress ballet dancing.

It read: “My heart has been borrowed and yours has been blue. All’s well that ends well, to end up with you,” which are lyrics from her track ‘Lover’.

Up-close in the snap, there’s a string tied around her ring finger - leading fans to think she was going to tie the knot - which unsurprisingly caused Swifties to freak out over the prospect of Tay being engaged.

However, Taylor and Joe have never publicly addressed the ongoing engagement and wedding rumours, understandably.
