Joe Alwyn looked relaxed as he landed in France for the Cannes Film Festival, shortly after his ex Taylor Swift's performance in Paris.

The 33-year-old actor was spotted at an airport in Nice on Thursday, May 16, sporting a casual look with jeans, a beige jacket, and sunglasses. Alwyn's upcoming film with Emma Stone, Kinds of Kindness, is scheduled to debut at the prestigious festival.

Shortly after wrapping up her record-breaking Eras Tour at La Défense Arena for four nights, Taylor Swift, 34, enjoyed a day out. This marked her return to the stage after taking a break for two months. In Paris, she performed songs from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, such as “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”

The Tortured Poets Department was released by Swift in April. The album features songs inspired by her breakup with Alwyn. It was confirmed in April 2023 that Alwyn and Swift, who started dating in 2017, had ended their relationship. A source later mentioned that Swift's fame played a role in their split.

Joe, being very shy, never enjoyed the attention that came with dating one of the most popular singers in the world. He didn't hold Swift responsible for her fame but simply disliked constantly being in the spotlight.

Swifties were surprised to learn that much of TTPD was inspired by the musician's breakup with The 1975 singer Matty Healy. Although Alwyn hasn't publicly commented on Swift's new album, a source revealed last month that he is currently dating and content after their separation.

The outlet reported that he is a great guy and doesn't like drama. He doesn't speak badly about her as he was in love with her, but things just didn't work out.

According to the source, Alwyn is not a fan of the attention that comes with being an actor and feels uneasy in the spotlight.

Swift, on the other hand, started dating Travis Kelce last summer. He even went to Paris to watch her final concert on May 12th. During a recent episode of his podcast "New Heights", Kelce couldn't stop praising his girlfriend's performance.

Kelce, 34, excitedly shared, "I had so much fun at Tay's show. Her new tour, The Eras Tour, is amazing. I recommend everyone to go see it. She performed songs from her new album, Tortured Poets Department, and added new elements to the show like new lights, new dance routines, and a whole new segment. I urge everyone to go watch her perform. It's truly incredible."

The couple were later spotted in Italy before Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Sweden.
