Taylor Swift has been pictured with her actor boyfriend Joe Alwyn for the first time.


News of the Bad Blood hitmaker's relationship with 26-year-old Joe, most well known for his roles in movies such as Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk and A Higher Education, first broke last month (May17).

And, on Thursday, the new couple appeared to have been photographed together as they boarded a jet in the U.K. to head back to America.

Taylor, 27, did her utmost to keep her identity hidden as she made her way onto the aircraft in a black ensemble consisting of a hoodie with the hood up and black joggers with matching trainers. Joe was hot on her heels in an almost matching ensemble, with tan trousers worn with his black hoodie.

According to sources close to Taylor, she has been traveling between Joe's native England and Nashville, where her family is based and where she has been recording her new album, in recent months. Joe has also been doing his bit to maintain their long-distance relationship, traveling to America to visit Taylor in New York.

After spending several weeks in London with Joe, Taylor and her beau were taken to the jet in a chaffeur-driven car, with an insider adding to E! News: "They didn't want to be seen by anyone and were ducking down in the car and wearing hoodies."

Despite the relationship apparently going from strength to strength, Taylor is said to be determined to "peddle slow" with the romance, after having her breakups with stars including Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston played out in public.

"She got buried in media being on top of her life during the last relationship, so she tried everything in her power to not have that happen again," the source explained. "She worked very closely with her security team and management to make sure her life going forward was private. All of that madness really affected her.

"She is very protected and is trying to peddle slow with this."
