Taylor Swift has secret Brit actor boyfriend Joe Alwyn and the pair have been dating for months
TAYLOR Swift has a secret British actor boyfriend who she’s been dating for months, The Sun's Bizarre column can reveal.
The global superstar is besotted with 26-year-old Joe Alwyn, a rising star of Hollywood who lives with his mum and dad.
Remarkably, she has been spending days at a time in London disguising herself wearing a wig in a bid to keep the romance under wraps.
A source said: “Taylor and Joe are the real deal, this is a very serious relationship.
“But after what happened with Tom Hiddleston, they were determined to keep it quiet.”
The US songwriter, 27, has been renting a house in North London while she has been seeing Joe in the UK.
And Taylor has gone to great lengths to ensure her visits have remained unnoticed.
The source added: "Taylor has flown in via private jets and her security has made it a military-like mission to prevent her from being seen.

"She's been walking around with Joe in London using disguises, like scarves and hats, to keep her identity under wraps.
"Nobody has a clue they've been walking past a music superstar - not even her new neighbours."
The Sun revealed her shock romance with Tom last summer with a memorable front page of the pair by the rocks on a beach in Long Island.
Taylor is desperate for the relationship to avoid becoming a circus, which has hindered her previous romances.
The actor, whose movie credits include Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk also starring Kristen Stewart, is Taylor’s first love interest since her relationship with The Night Manager star, which ended last September.
The former couple split after Tom wanted the relationship to be more public than Taylor was comfortable with.
But the artist - who has sold over 40million albums - is unlikely to encounter similar experiences with Joe, who is just as keen to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
Last night a close friend confirmed the relationship to The Sun’s Bizarre column after we learned they were dating.
But they insisted Taylor had been open about it to close friends and family.
The friend said: “This isn’t a new couple alert or a secret relationship - the only people this has been a secret to is the media because all of us, Taylor and Joe’s closest friends and their families, were aware they have been together for several months and have known each other for a longtime.
“After her 1989 tour and all the attention Taylor received, she learned she had to be more protective of her personal life and she and Joe decided early on to keep their private life private.”
Taylor has previously dated Brits Harry Styles and Calvin Harris, and been linked to US actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Lautner, of Twilight fame, since becoming a chart success story and one of the most desirable women in the world over a decade ago.
Meanwhile Joe, until now, has stayed clear of dating celebrities as he builds up his acting career.
He was called up for his first big movie, directed by three-time Oscar winner Ang Lee, when he was still a student at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
His performance in debut flick led to him being described as “The Next Big Thing” in Hollywood.
