Taylor Swift kept her hand in her pocket during an outing in New York City earlier this month. Us Weekly said that there was a good reason behind it, and that is not wanting anyone to see her "sparkling engagement ring" on her finger.

The outlet's assertions came after a source spoke of the matter for its February 28 issue. As stated, the songstress and her partner of five years are now "headed down the aisle" as they are "finally engaged."

The celebrity couple are allegedly "figuring out" when, as well as how they will tell the world about their engagement. Swift is said to make the announcement when she is ready, considering her boyfriend is not fond of the spotlight.

The same insider continued that Taylor Swift has, also, "embraced" the quiet life, particularly one that is away from the cameras. It "works" for her and Joe Alwyn, especially for their relationship as the artist's past relationships "have been hurt by being so public."

While this is something fans would celebrate, there is no assurance that Swift and Alwyn are, indeed, already engaged. No one can confirm the matter as the two celebrities themselves have yet to break their silence.

Aside from the lack of confirmations, the insiders did not share any proof to corroborate the claims. Accordingly, this makes the whole narrative questionable as it remains unsubstantiated.

Several avid fans, also, believe that none of the latest engagement rumors are true. V Magazine reported that many of Taylor Swift's "stans" and followers know better than to listen to tabloids.

Most of these individuals reportedly shared their thoughts on social media, Twitter, in particular. Some of the posts highly emphasized that the assertions will only be true if the "ME!" singer herself confirms her engagement to Joe Alwyn. Otherwise, "keep your tabloids to yourselves." one netizen added.

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn are some of today's most private couples in Hollywood. They very rarely talk about their relationship before the public.

Brides said that the two personalities have managed to keep their romantic ties "completely under the radar" for five years. This is despite their global fame and success both in the music and film industries.

No one can even confirm where and how Alwyn and Swift first met. But, rumors have claimed that they likely had their first encounter at the Met Gala in 2016 and started their romance later that year.
