Taylor Swift resumes tour after Joe Alwyn split news: ‘We have a lot to catch up on’
Taylor Swift has returned to the stage for the first time since the news of her breakup with Joe Alwyn.
“Is it just me or do we have a lot of things to catch up on?” Swift asked the screaming crowd at Tampa, Florida’s Raymond James Stadium on Thursday night.
According to concertgoers, Swift kept the same setlist she’s had in her previous show in Arlington, Texas.
“It’s been a really long time since I’ve been on tour,” fans heard her say during Thursday’s gig. “And to say that a lot has happened is an understatement.”
The singer switched things up later in the show and treated fans to a rendition of “Speak Now.”
“I’ve been thinking a lot about one of my albums recently. One of my albums has been on my mind a lot… lots going on in my brain about it,” she told fans.
Swift also performed “champagne problems,” which she wrote alongside Alwyn on her ninth studio album “Evermore.”
Before playing her hit 2019 song “Lover,” fans on social media said she switched her typical preamble to the track, describing it as “just a love song.”
Swift and Alwyn broke up a few weeks ago, Page Six was told last week.
We were told the split “wasn’t dramatic,” and that “the relationship just ran its course,” a source said.
Swift kicked off her sold-out Eras Tour on March 17, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that Alwyn had been absent from her shows.
The pair first met at the 2016 Met Gala and started dating a few months later before going public with their relationship in 2017.
Swift broke cover for the first time this week since news of her breakup took social media by storm.
The 12-time Grammy winner stepped out in NYC with longtime pal and musician Jack Antonoff, who has worked with her on her most recent album, “Midnights.”
The pals were joined by Antonoff’s fiancée, Margaret Qualley, at Italian restaurant Via Carota.
The NYC H๏τspot sits just four minutes away from Cornelia Street — a notable тιтle of her track from Swift’s 2019 “Lover” album, which is widely believed to reference her romance with Alwyn.
The “Lavender Haze” songstress’ exes famously include Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, Harry Styles, Calvin Harris, and Tom Hiddleston.
