Joe Alwyn revealed writing songs with girlfriend Taylor Swift was “an accident.”
The actor doesn’t sing on the track “Exile,” the vocals were done by Bon Iver.
However, Alwyn also helped with the song “Betty,” writing the chorus for Swift.
“I’d probably had a drink and was just stumbling around the house,” Alwyn told the outlet. “We couldn’t decide on a film to watch that night, and she was like, ‘Do you want to try and finish writing that song you were singing earlier?’ And so we got a guitar and did that.”

“I’ve learned that if I do [talk about it], people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,” Swift told the Guardian’s Weekend magazine in 2019.
“If you and I were having a glass of wine right now, we’d be talking about it – but it’s just that it goes out into the world. That’s where the boundary is, and that’s where my life has become manageable. I really want to keep it feeling manageable.”
