Taylor Swift made a rare mention of her six-year romance with Joe Alwyn in one Instagram video, talk about her first song upcoming album Midnight. In the clip, Taylor, 32, analyzes the intro to the album “Lavender Haze,” and mentions that she and Joe, 31, have mostly kept their relationship privately on Friday, October 7. “In my six-year relationship, we had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignored it. So this song is about the act of ignoring those things to protect the real things,” she said.

Besides mentioning that the song is about her and Joe keeping their relationship private, Taylor also reveals where she first heard the phrase and explains the origin of the saying. “I overheard the phrase ‘Lavender Haze,’ while I was watching crazy men, and I looked it up, because I thought it sounded great, and it turned out to be a popular phrase used in the 50s where they just described being in love. If you are in the mist of lavender, it means you are in that enveloping light of love,” she said. “I thought that was really beautiful.”

While Taylor says her relationship with Joe is an inspiration, she says she feels the phrase is much more universal than just applying to her relationship. “I guess theoretically when you’re in a lavender haze, you’d do anything to stay there and not let people take you down from that cloud. I think now a lot of people have to deal with this, not just as ‘public figures’, because we live in the age of social media and if the world finds out who you are in love with there, they will she said.

On Friday, Taylor also revealed the full tracklist of her new album, with all the titles above. Midnight. She gradually revealed song title by song with her Midnights Mayhem With Me mass on social media. She announced the record in 2022 VMAs in August, and it will release on October 21. Besides her video of “Lavender Haze”, Taylor has also released a similar clip about the third track from the album “Anti-Hero” and She says it will focus on “insecurity.”

Joe is also very open about why he and Taylor keep relationship with themselves. “We live in an increasingly intrusive culture. The more you give and frankly, even if you don’t give, something is taken away,” he said in an April interview with Elle.
