Taylor Swift’s ex Joe Alwyn poses with a Kardashian

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Joe Alwyn is not letting his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift‘s beef with certain celebrities get in the way of who he mingles with.

On Saturday, October 19, Alwyn, 33, attended the star-studded Academy Museum of Motion Pictures 4th Annual Gala in Los Angeles, California. The English actor was photographed on the red carpet posing with Kendall Jenner, one of the most prominent members of the Kardashian-Jenner family — whom Alwyn’s superstar ex-girlfriend has famously feuded with over the years.

As fans know, Swift, 34, has a long-standing feud with Jenner’s sister, Kim Kardashian — who was also in attendance — and Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West. Though Jenner, 28, was briefly part of the “Karma” singer’s girl squad in 2015, it was rumored that the pair’s friendship had dissolved after the drama between Swift and Kardashian happened in 2016 over Kanye’s song “Famous.”

In the snap, which also includes Patrick Schwarzenegger, Jenner stood in the middle, arm in arm with the Kinds of Kindness star and Schwarzenegger, 31. The trio kept it sleek with their ensembles as the two men opted for black blazers and trousers while the runway model donned a long black velvet dress with cutouts.

Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the unexpected snap.

“Never would have imagined that we would get a picture with these celebrities together,” one person commented.

“This ‘celebrity world’ is so small. Joe with his arm around Kendall was not on my Bingo card. Funny how connected all those people are. Let alone Joe being there with Selena [Gomez], Jack [Antonoff], Margaret [Qualley], Kim K., Jenners, Paul [Mescal] (while Gracie opening Eras)…,” another fan wrote.

“joe alwyn posing with kendall jenner kinda making me lose my mind ngl,” a fan posted on the platform.

Alwyn and Swift dated for six years before shocking fans with the April 2023 news of their split. Several months later, after a brief fling with the 1975 frontman Matty Healy, Swift began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, whom she has been going strong with ever since.

While the 14-time Grammy winner did not attend the gala, she also had a busy Saturday night as she played a sold-out show at Hard Rock Stadium. Swift kicked off the final leg of the Eras Tour on Friday, October 18, in Miami, Florida. The Eras Tour will wrap on Sunday, December 8, in Vancouver, Canada.
