This isn’t folklore: Joe Alwyn is a Grammy winner.
While the British star is most understood for his acting functions in The Favourite and the upcoming series Conversations With Friends, he ended up being an expert songwriter throughout lockdown, working together with his long time sweetheart Taylor Swift on her albums folklore and evermore And when folklore won Album of the Year at the 2020 Grammys, Alwyn– who co-wrote and co-produced tunes “betty” and “exile” under the pseudonym William Bowery— scored a prize.
“That was a surreal bonus of lockdown,” he informed The Guardian in a brand-new interview. “That’s an understatement.”
As Alwyn discussed to the outlet, he and Swift had not intended on interacting, it happened naturally. “It wasn’t like, ‘It’s 5 o’clock, it’s time to try and write a song together,'” he shared. “It came about from messing around on a piano, and singing badly, then being overheard, and being, like, ‘Let’s see what happens if we get to the end of it together.'”
