Taylor Swift Confirms Boyfriend Joe Alwyn Co-Wrote Songs on ‘Folklore’.
When ‘Folklore’ dropped in July, fans
spotted an unfamiliar name, William Bowery,
credited on the tracks “Betty” and “Exile.” .
Fans couldn’t find any evidence of
the name online, leading them to believe
it was a pseudonym for Alwyn. .
Swift confirmed the theory in her
new concert film, ‘Folklore: The
Long Pond Studio Sessions.’.
The film was released on
Disney+ on November 25. .
There’s been a lot of discussion about
William Bowery and his identity because
it’s not a real person … So, William Bowery
is Joe, as we know,
Taylor Swift, via 'The Independent'.
She went on to explain that the pair
first wrote “Betty” together after she
heard him singing during quarantine. .
I came in and I was like, ‘Hey, this could
be really weird, and we could hate this,
so because we’re in quarantine and
there’s nothing else going on, could
we just try to see what it’s like if we
write this song together?’,
Taylor Swift, via 'The Independent'.
In addition to co-writing the lyrics,
Swift also credited Alwyn with writing
the entire piano part for “Exile.”.
‘Folklore’ is nominated for six Grammy
awards, including album of the year and best
pop duo/group performance for “Exile.”
