Taylor Swift blurs Joe Alwyn 'easter egg' from Bejeweled BTS video after internet frenzy, Swifties react

Taylor Swift fans are known for their quick wit and ability to pick up subtle hints in her music videos. On her 35th birthday last week, Swift treated her fans, prominently known as Swifties, with a behind-the-scenes video of the Bejeweled music shoot. The BTS video was shared on her YouTube channel, which quickly went viral.

The clip offered Swifties a unique glimpse into the making of the music video, showcasing the singer-songwriter's creative process and dedication to her craft. However, intentionally or not, it also offered a peek into Swift's past relationship with Joe Alwyn, which, for obvious reasons, sparked an internet frenzy. A day after the internet went bonkers over it, Swift has now gotten rid of what the internet called a 'Joe Alwyn easter egg'.

What was the Joe Alwyn easter egg in Taylor Swift's BTS video?

Almost two years after the release of Bejeweled, Taylor Swift offered fans a glimpse into what goes behind the sets to put together a masterpiece of a song. In the footage, Swift is seen directing an actor while holding her phone. As she gestures, the phone screen lights up, revealing an intimate moment from her lock screen wallpaper: a beautiful picture of her resting her head on Joe's shoulder while he held her.

Taylor and Joe, who dated for nine years before parting ways last summer, still enjoy a huge fanbase. After the footage went viral, some fans flooded the internet with their throwback moments, sparking a nostalgic wave on social media.

Following her heartbreaking split from the London Boy, Taylor Swift found love in NFL star Travis Kelce. Unlike her low-key romance with Joe, the new pair has been quite open about their relationship, offering support to one another on many occasions.

So, after her Joe Alwyn wallpaper went viral, Taylor took no time in getting rid of the 'easter egg.' New footage from the behind-the-scenes video has surfaced, revealing that the lock screen on her phone is now blurred.

"This is so sad. She literally is over him. She has someone in her life right now. For "fans" to be talking about something that happened in the past, with small details like this, is very disrespectful to her personal life. Hopefully this stops them but it shouldn't have started," a third user wrote.
