Swift’s eighth studio album, Folklore, raised more questions than it answered about the couple’s relationship status.

Swift sings, “Green was the color of the grass / Where I used to read at Centennial Park / I used to think I’d meet somebody there.” “Teal was the color of your shirt when you were 16 and worked at the yogurt shop to make a little money.”

After debuting as William Bowery on Folklore, Alwyn returned to co-write three songs for Swift’s 2020 album Evermore. “There’s been a lot of discussion about William Bowery and his identity because it’s not a real person,”

2022, May
Alwyn explained why he chose the name William Bowery for his songwriting credits on Folklore and Evermore during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
“It was a combination of William, my great-grandfather [who] was a composer [who] I actually never met,” he explained. “He composed a lot of classical music and a lot of film scores.” Then there’s the Bowery, which is a neighborhood in New York where I spent a lot of time when I first moved there. So, band them together.”
The actor went on to say that he and his girlfriend decided to keep his identity hidden at first so that fans would approach the songs with no preconceived notions about his involvement. “We chose to do it so that people would first listen to the music before dissecting the fact that we did it together,”
he explained. “[The name] sounds like an Agatha Christie character, complete with a monocle and a big mustache.”

The couple, who have been together for more than five years, “are wildly happy together and are excited about their future together,” according to the source.
