Congratulations are in order for actor Joe Alwyn, also known as Taylor Swift's boyfriend, for he has finally joined the legions of public little blue check marks on Instagram. Over the weekend, Joe made his previously protected Instagram public, revealing a sparsely populated feed of images from his travels dating back to 2015—he's been here all along—and sending Swifties everywhere into a furor as they try to spot evidence of Taylor and Joe's relationship on the 'gram.
On May 8, the eve of the opening show of Taylor's Reputation tour in Phoenix, Arizona, she posted a photo of herself in a black tea-length dress and sunglasses, dwarfed in the shade of a massive cactus. "Fact: I've never been more excited about a tour than I am about this one. And it starts TOMORROW. Also, not even remotely tour related, but today I met a cactus," she wrote in the caption, followed by the cactus emoji.
On that same day, Joe also posted a photo of himself in front of a cactus that, if not the exact same one, is uncannily close. His is simply captioned with the cactus emoji. The following day, Joe was in the crowd at Taylor's show—so basically, you know they were together.
The comments, if there ever were any, have been wiped, and, given how spaced out the posts are now, it's likely he either deleted a selection of the photos or forgets about his Instagram from time to time. (Who among us has not?) His followers, though, already include Taylor's close friends Lena Dunham and Gigi Hadid, as well as The Favourite co-star Nicholas Hoult. Joe Alwyn… welcome.
