Here's A Full Recap."'We've never seen her so happy and in love' YES WE HAVE."by Stephanie SoteriouBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLinkHot Topic🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Taylor Swift As I am sure you know, last week, Taylor Swift announced her upcoming 12th studio album on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce's, New Heights podcast. New Heights / Via youtube.com After the two-hour interview aired, fans were left feeling pretty satisfied, having enjoyed a pretty intimate insight into Taylor and Travis's dynamic. Not only had Tay used her beau's podcast for her work venture, they also shared some cute moments on-camera, and discussed their day-to-day life together, which includes making sourdough bread and spending time with each other's families. New Heights / Via youtube.com Many newer fans of Taylor went so far as to say that this was an uncharacteristically personal display from the star, and even speculated that how public she is being with Travis must mean that they are more serious than any of the relationships that Tay has had before.

Robert Kamau / Getty Images And this step back from the limelight appeared to work for Taylor's love life, too, with her and Joe quietly falling in love away from the glare of the paparazzi and social media. Because of this timing, Taylor's music from this period of her life is the only real insight we have into it. And while lyrical interpretation is entirely subjective, her music suggests that she and Joe thoroughly enjoyed their low-key life away from the glitz and glamor of showbiz. The two stayed together for more than six years, which included the years lost to the COVID-19 pandemic, which only added to Taylor's privacy. However, it is very evident that Taylor's approach to her romance with Joe is the exception, not the rule, and prior to this relationship, she was just as public with pretty much all of her boyfriends as she was with Travis last week.

For example, who can forget the summer of 2012, when Taylor's pursuit of Conor Kennedy, the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was in full swing. While they only dated for a matter of weeks, Taylor attended a Kennedy family wedding during this time, and even bought a literal house close to the Kennedy family compound.

Kevin Winter / Getty Images At this point in time, Taylor was enjoying a career high following the release of her hugely acclaimed 2014 album, 1989, which cleaned up at the Grammys and established Taylor as one of the world's biggest pop stars. She had also forged an A-list clique of famous friends, otherwise known as her "girl squad," which she happily gave fans glimpses into on Instagram. Before she wiped her social media page ahead of her 2017 Reputation era, the profile was full of intimate photos of her cooking, partying, and generally hanging out with everybody from Selena Gomez to Blake Lively to Karlie Kloss.

And Taylor had a similarly no-holds-barred approach to her love life, with Calvin being a frequent fixture on her grid, starting with when they went Instagram official in June 2015. After that, there was no holding back for Tay, and she was soon posting loved-up pictures with Calvin regularly - including the time she shared a photo of herself draped over Calvin as he gave her a piggy-back ride, as well as pictures of Calvin joining in with her family traditions over Christmas, and highlighting how besotted she was for him by posting a photo of their initials written in the sand.
