Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn Held Hands and Ran Away From Paparazzi After a VMAs After-Party
Taylor Swift lived out her lyric “Would you run away with me?” last night—and gave a harrowing look at what an A-list couple goes through whenever they go to an event together—when she and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn were filmed holding hands and sprinting out of the door of the Fleur Room to their vehicle before paparazzi could photograph them together. The two attended Republic Records’ MTV VMAs after-party in New York City, Us Weekly reported, with Taylor outfitted in a Moschino playsuit and staggering silver platform heels. Given the shoes’ height, it makes Taylor’s mad dash all the more impressive.

Joe did not join Taylor at the MTV VMAs ceremony in Newark, New Jersey, itself. But that choice is not surprising given the couple has never attended a music awards show together. The only ceremony they’ve attended together was the Golden Globes in 2020, and they walked the red carpet separately. Joe and Taylor just sat together during the broadcast, marking an extremely rare exception in their mostly private love story of nearly six years.
Joe addressed the two’s decision to keep their relationship out of the spotlight to Elle UK in April: “It’s not really [because I] want to be guarded and private, it’s more a response to something else. We live in a culture that is so increasingly intrusive.…The more you give—and frankly, even if you don’t give it—something will be taken.”
He added to GQ that he hoped the public would lose interest in them eventually. “I think because the precedent was set—that our choice is to be private and not feed that side of things—the more you do that, hopefully, the more that intrusiveness or intrigue drops off,” he said.
