Taylor Swift's Life and Career Flourish in Unison
After years of experiencing both highs and lows, Taylor Swift's professional and personal life are simultaneously thriving.
Swift launched the sixth tour of her career, her first in five years, in Arizona on March 17, captivating fans and critics alike. Rolling Stone praised the singer-songwriter's Eras Tour as a "3-hour career-spanning victory lap," while The Atlantic claimed she "conjured actual magic." Social media users similarly hailed the tour as a resounding success.
This achievement, however, is only the latest in a series of career accomplishments for the artist, who became the first woman to win three Album of the Year Grammys. Almost 17 years after her debut, Swift has also found happiness in her personal life. An insider says on Life & Style magezine, "Taylor's on top of the world professionally and personally... she feels that she's in the healthiest mental state she's ever been in."
A significant portion of her happiness can be attributed to her six-year relationship with English actor Joe Alwyn. In 2016, Swift was struggling with the aftermath of failed relationships with DJ-producer Calvin Harris and actor Tom Hiddleston, as well as a public feud with rapper Kanye West. She has described the subsequent mass public shaming as "a very isolating experience."
Alwyn has been a source of support and healing for Swift. He stood by her during her 2017 lawsuit against a former radio DJ for battery and sexual assault, which she won. The source adds, "Joe's love changed everything. She feels safe with him."
In the wake of Alwyn's support, Swift reevaluated her priorities, seeking therapy and concentrating on her well-being. In 2019, she disclosed that she had started using the supplement L-theanine to help with stress and anxiety. The source also notes that Swift made an effort to surround herself with positive people and blocked out negativity from social media.
With her past struggles behind her, Swift looks forward to a bright future filled with love, success, and happiness.
