Taylor Swift Says She and Boyfriend Joe Alwyn Bonded Over 'Sad Songs': 'What Can I Say?'

Taylor Swift is opening up about the bond she shares with her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

While chatting virtually with Zane Lowe for the Apple Music Awards on Tuesday, the 31-year-old singer candidly spoke about what it was like to co-write music with Alwyn, 29, and their love for "sad songs."

Swift previously revealed in her Disney+ feature, Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, that her boyfriend helped craft "Exile" and "Betty" on Folklore, as well as three songs on her recently released Evermore album — "Champagne Problems," "Coney Island," and "Evermore" — using the pseudonym William Bowery.

"Joe and I really love sad songs. We've always bonded over music," Swift told Lowe, 47, during their conversation. "We write the saddest songs. We just really love sad songs. What can I say?"
