Joe Alwyn's relationship with Taylor Swift allegedly made the actor very rich, and according to a Life and Style report on Wednesday, March 13, he is still reaping the benefits of their long-lost romance.

During their time together, Joe co-wrote six songs with the pop star, which are still earning him royalty money, the publication noted in its latest report while citing an exclusive source who says, “Fair or not, it's made him a very rich guy. Joe is making so much on royalties and returns from [Taylor’s] Eras Tour that he doesn't ever need to worry about money again.”

What Taylor Swift songs does Joe Alwyn get royalties for? His relationship with the songstress even made him a Grammy winner 


Joe, 33, is credited as a songwriter on two songs from Taylor’s 2022 album Folklore—EExile and Betty. Additionally, he also features as a songwriter on three tracks, Champagne Problems, Coney Island, and Evermore, from her album Evermore, which also came out the same year. Sweet Nothings from Taylor's 2022 album Midnights became his last contribution to Taylor Swift's albums. 

Apart from the royalty earnings from these songs, the Conversation with Friends actor also boasts another accolade: he is a Grammy winner. This achievement came courtesy of Swift's album Folklore, which won Album of the Year at the 63rd Grammy Awards in 2020.

Moreover, according to an analysis by the aforementioned publication, Alwyn has already pocketed $2.3 million from Spotify streams alone, and the money will keep rolling in until the songs remain in existence, essentially meaning forever.

All these quotes feature on the variants of several The Tortured Poets Department artwork shared by Swift herself.
