Taylor Swift, Joe Alwyn update: How the pop superstar keeps her relationship private

Taylor Swift reportedly goes out of her way to keep her romance with Joe Alwyn private.

The "Look What You Made Me Do" hitmaker has been in a relationship with her British beau since last year, and they seem to be doing a great job staying away from the public eye. This has led many fans to wonder how the US-based pop superstar manages to keep her romance with Alwyn — who lives in London — out of the spotlight.

Speaking with E! News, a source explained that Swift has actually gotten everything figured out. "Taylor has been in the UK a LOT more than people know," said an insider. "She has the entire routine down pat now."

The source added that Swift flies to London through a private jet or a private airfield to keep the media off her tracks each time she visits the actor. She is then driven to Alwyn's residence in north London by a blacked-out car. Only the members of Swift's inner circle knows when she is visiting her boyfriend. "They're clearly serious," added the source.

According to Elle, Swift initially wore disguises when she and Alwyn go out. Her method worked so perfectly that when she visited Alwyn to be with his family in September, no one recognized her in public. While staying at Cara Delevingne's Chiswick place, the couple were even able to walk Delevingne's dog around the local park without anyone stopping Swift for a photo.

Alwyn's family seems to approve of Swift's strategy. All of them have reportedly met the pop singer and have done "many a Sunday roast together." An insider shared that they all get together "without fail" if Swift is in London over a weekend and they all appear to be comfortable around the blonde beauty.
