Taylor Swift’s Ex. Joe Alwyn and Critics Reacts to Taylor’s ROMANTIC Boat ride date with Travis Kelce in scenic Lake Como and her Exposed BUSTY Black Dress – ‘Taylor playing the victim as she moved quickly onto TWO men since her breakup. And in her usual classless, clueless style she used the opportunity to try and humiliate him using her “music”. Even stealing the name of his men’s support group ….’

Joe Alwyn continued to put on a defiant display as he stepped out solo on the Kinds Of Kindness red carpet at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival on Friday.

The actor’s outing comes as his ex, Taylor Swift, 34, put on a loved-up display with boyfriend Travis Kelce, also 34, while they enjoyed a romantic getaway in Lake Como.

Joe cut a dapper figure in a classic black two-piece suit layered over a crisp white shirt to the premiere of his latest flick, Kinds Of Kindness.

The actor accessorised his look with some black sunglasses and a skinny black tie.

But while he was putting on a confident display for the cameras, his ex, Taylor, looked smitten with her man Travis.

They enjoyed a romantic day on the water during their trip to Lake Como, Italy, this week – amid a break in the European leg of her The Eras Tour which begins again in Sweden on Friday.

The superstar singer and the Kansas City Chiefs star who were seen enjoying a candlelit dinner at a €20,000 a night villa at the five star Grand Hotel Tremezzo, were seen kissing as they cuddled on a water taxi.

Taylor will resume her tour in Stockholm, Sweden at Friends Arena on May 17, 18, and 19.

Last month she released several savage tracks about their failed six-year relationship on the record, The Tortured Poets Department.

It came nearly a year after the end of Joe’s relationship with Taylor.

Taylor may have accused Joe of shattering her dreams of marriage and children in stinging new lyrics on her album – but the British actor will retain a modicum of silence, and has no plans to react, insiders previously claimed.

Joe, has never publicly discussed his split from the singer, whom he dated for six years from 2017 until their breakup in April 2023.

But Taylor has seemingly bared her soul about the break down of their romance on her latest album – with insiders claiming Joe has been left ‘disappointed’ and has banned any mention of the singer from the upcoming press tour for his new film, Kinds of Kindness.

‘There has been absolutely zero contact between them,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com ‘She did not run these songs by him, but he did not expect her to.

Joe has listened to the album, and he is slightly disappointed but not surprised at all.

‘She didn’t really trash him or defame him. Joe is not going to react to this.’

Taylor mostly retreated from the spotlight during her time with Joe, with the super private pair rarely pictured in public together.

They won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2021 after Joe co-wrote and co-produced a number of tracks on her album Folklore under the pseudonym William Bowery.

They were also nominated for the same award a year later for Evermore.

The insider explained that Joe was more than aware of Taylor’s songwriting process thanks to the tracks they had created together.

‘Taylor draws on her relationships for almost all her songs and he admires her artistry,’ the insider added.

‘He has made a ton of money off the six songs that he wrote for Taylor in the past and he is grateful that their relationship also helped to make him a household name.’

‘He has a movie coming out that he is focused on,’ the source stated. ‘He will be doing press – but will not be entertaining any Taylor questions.

‘Joe has moved on. He is not holding any grudges against her for doing what she does. He knows that it was par for the course.’

In previous years, the Boy Erased actor refused to publicly discuss their relationship.

People on the street wouldn’t tell strangers about their personal lives , so why should I?’ he said before they split last year.

In 2022, he told Harper’s Bazaar that he ‘can understand’ the interest in their relationship as he is a public figure, before adding: ‘but I don’t see why these questions should always be answered.’

‘I completely expect people to ask those questions, if I’m putting work into the world, of course people are going to ask about that,’ he added.

But despite being split for a year, Taylor’s latest record has increased speculation about their romance, with the song appearing to accuse Joe of cheating and shattering her vision of the future in songs including So Long, London and Fresh Out the Slammer.

After TTPD dropped, Taylor shared a statement about letting go of the ‘sensational and sorrowful’ time that inspired the album.

‘This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up,’ she wrote. ‘There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed.

‘And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted.

‘This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it. And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.’

The album also appears to reference her brief dalliance with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy in the weeks after her split from Joe.

Taylor playing the victim as she moved quickly onto TWO men since her breakup. And in her usual classless, clueless style she used the opportunity to try and humiliate him using her “music”. Even stealing the name of his men’s support group for her album as another poke in the eye. Never any self reflection, never any self awareness, never taking any responsibility as to why all her innumerable flings (aside from their relationship) ended in conflict or chaos. She is gonna be doing this until she get’s into her 50’s. You can bet when she writes about Travis HE won’t be so gentlemanly or kind in his comments of her. Her young female fans that follow her should know she’s no role model for females to follow.
