Taylor Swift's former partner Joe Alwyn has issued a blunt message to fans who need to 'move on' from their relationship.
Swift separated from Alwyn in 2023 after six years together.
Speculation of the couple's split grew from multiple US news outlets, with Entertainment Tonight claiming their breakup was 'amicable' and 'not dramatic'.
CNN also collaborated those reports, claiming the couple had grown apart and ended up going their separate ways, months before the breakup was made official.

Nonetheless, neither party released a statement at the time of the separation, with the 'Shake It Off' singer now all loved up with NFL star Travis Kelce, whom she has been dating since July 2023.
Alwyn, an actor, sat down with the Guardian in a piece that was published on Sunday (January 5), where he touched on his relationship with Swift.
Being in a relationship with one of the biggest names on the planet is, of course, going to bring the spotlight on you, but Alwyn never had concerns about that overshadowing his own career.
He told the Guardian: "I have tried just to focus on controlling what I can control. And, right from the beginning, tried to focus on the things that are meaningful for me: friends, family, work, of course.
"So noise outside of that, I think I’ve done what lots of people who find themselves in the public eye do, which is just try and ignore it.
"If you don’t, and if you let all of that other stuff in, and if it starts to affect you and your behaviour, you’re living from the outside in. And then you’re pretty f*****."
Speaking further about the relationship, Alwyn added: "We’re talking about something that’s a while ago now in my life. So that’s for other people. That’s what I feel."
After their romance had come to an end, the rumor mill surrounding Swift and Alwyn went into overdrive.
Celebrity gossip Instagram account DeuxMoi suggested that Swift and Alwyn had secretly tied the knot while they were together, which the Swift camp later denied.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Tree Paine, Swift's publicist said: "Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi. There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind. This is an insane thing to post. It’s time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these."
