Out Of Woods! - Taylor's Happy Ever After

Why her low-key love is a big hit!

There are no more teardrops on her guitar. She no longer gets drunk on jealousy. And she certainly isn’t lying on the cold, hard ground!

Ahead of her 30th birthday this year, Taylor Swift has shared the biggest life lessons she’s learned and – spoiler alert! – the star who is famous for rushing into romance and then writing songs about her exes wants fans to know those days are long gone.

“Before you jump in headfirst, maybe get to know someone!” she advises. “What I know now to be more valuable about a person isn’t their charming routine upon meeting them, but the layers you discover in time. Are they honest, self-aware and slyly funny at the moments you least expect it? Do they show up for you when you need them? Do they still love you after they’ve seen you broken?”

For the older, wiser and totally smitten Taylor, the answer to those questions is a resounding yes when it comes to boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

After very public romances with Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal, to name a few, the singer has shunned the spotlight in favour of a quiet romance with the Mary Queen of Scots actor, 28. And we’re told an engagement isn’t a matter of if, but when.
