Taylor Swift’s close friends Emma Stone and Margaret Qualley made a striking appearance on the Cannes red carpet alongside Joe Alwyn on May 17. Despite being ex-partners, Joe and Taylor have maintained a strong friendship over the years. Emma and Margaret, who have known Taylor for a considerable amount of time, starred alongside Joe in Yorgos Lanthimos’ upcoming film “Kinds of Kindness,” set for release in June 2024. The group exuded positivity as they posed for photos, dispelling any looming tensions or bad blood.
Margaret, who is married to Jack Antonoff, could not contain her laughter as she walked the red carpet with Hunter Schafer by her side. On the other hand, Emma stuck close to Yorgos, showcasing the camaraderie and bond shared on set. Joe was accompanied by Willem Dafoe and Hong Chau, with the group also featuring Jesse Plemons and Mamoudou Athie. Emma, having been friends with Taylor for well over a decade, recently showered Joe with praise, describing him as “one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet.” The chemistry and warmth shared between the cast members is evident, adding to the anticipation surrounding the release of “Kinds of Kindness.”
Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift’s relationship, which spanned over six years, garnered attention not only for its longevity but also for its mysterious nature. Following their amicable split in early 2024, reports surfaced indicating that Joe struggled with Taylor’s fame and that fundamental differences in their personalities became too prominent to overlook. In her music, Taylor alludes to Joe as a “hot house flower” compared to her “outdoorsman,” shedding light on the complex dynamics of their romance. Despite the private nature of their relationship, it is believed that they crossed paths at the 2016 Met Gala and maintained a friendship while Taylor was involved with Tom Hiddleston. By the fall of 2016, they had transitioned into a romantic relationship, coinciding with Taylor’s creative outpouring evident in songs like ‘Gorgeous’ from her “Reputation” album.
Post her breakup with Joe, Taylor briefly dated Matty Healy before finding love with Kansas City Chiefs football player Travis Kelce. Similarly, there are rumors circulating about Joe’s dating life post his split with Taylor. As they navigate their personal lives post-relationship, both Taylor and Joe have shown resilience and adaptability in finding new paths forward. The enduring friendship shared between Taylor, Emma, and Margaret serves as a testament to the importance of strong bonds in the ever-evolving landscape of Hollywood relationships. Their support for each other, both on and off the screen, highlights the beauty of lasting friendships amidst the transient nature of the entertainment industry.
