Keen-to-be-private couple Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have reportedly done another sneaky thing,The Sun is now reporting: They went to London earlier this month to hang with Alwyn's friends and family, and NO ONE KNEW, in part thanks to Swift's good friend Cara Delevingne. "Taylor made the trip to England to spend time with Joe's family and friends, and Cara offered to have them at her place in Chiswick [a West London neighborhood]," a source told The Sun's Dan Wootton (who broke the news the singer and the British actor were together back in May). "Obviously Taylor can stay at the world's swankiest hotels but that's not really her bag. She's trying to keep a low profile with Joe, and staying with Cara has let her do that."
While it's unknown whether Swift was out in disguise—the way was when she first started dating Alwyn—no one stopped her for selfies. She's been so lowkey that "they can even walk Cara's dog round the local park without anyone batting an eyelid."
Although Swift hasn't really said anything publicly about Alwyn (unless you count the lyrics of "…Ready For It?"), the two were first spotted in the same place last October. They've been dating for several months (maybe almost a year), and "things are getting serious between them, and Taylor wants to spend as much time getting to know Joe's world as possible," the source said. "They can't get enough of each other."
Just don't expect Swift, who is reportedly very happy to be doing the private relationship thing with her British beau, to tell you much about that anytime soon.
