Not so delicate. Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> is shaking it off following her split from Joe Alwyn<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 and settling in nicely to her newly single status.<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor is handling the breakup really well and she\u2019s feeling very optimistic about her future<\/a>,\u201d a source exclusively tells Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cShe truly believes whatever is meant to be, will be, and knows everything happens for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n The Folklore<\/em> songstress, 33, is \u201cenjoying her freedom\u201d after calling it quits<\/a> with Alwyn, 32, earlier this month, the insider adds \u2014 but is still \u201cadjusting to the single life\u201d and isn\u2019t ready to jump back into a relationship quite yet. \u201cShe isn\u2019t dating anybody and isn\u2019t even thinking about getting into another relationship anytime soon,\u201d the source explains.<\/p>\n While Swift \u2014 who is currently in the midst of her Eras<\/em> Tour<\/em><\/a> after a five-year hiatus from being on the road \u2014 may be focused on herself for the time being, she\u2019s still making time for her inner circle in between performances.<\/p>\n \u201cShe appreciates all the love and support she\u2019s received from family and friends<\/a>,\u201d the insider tells Us<\/em>, noting that the Midnights<\/em> artist is\u00a0\u201cdoing great\u201d amid this new chapter of her life.<\/p>\n The Grammy winner was most recently spotted spending time with BFFs Blake Lively<\/strong> <\/a>and Ryan Reynolds<\/strong> <\/a>on Wednesday, April 19. The trio were seen getting into a white car before they headed to dinner at Casa Cipriani<\/a> in Manhattan. Earlier in the week, Swift enjoyed a meal with collaborator and friend Jack Antonoff<\/strong> <\/a>and his fianc\u00e9e, Margaret Qualley<\/strong><\/a>, at NYC celebrity hotspot Carota.<\/p>\n While the \u201cCardigan\u201d singer is leaning on her loved ones, Alwyn, for his part, was rolling solo when he was publicly spotted for the first time since the pair called it quits. The Mary Queen of Scots<\/em> star looked serious as he spoke on the phone outside of a hotel in London on Thursday, April 20. One day prior, his Brutalist<\/em> costar Emma Laird<\/strong> posted a photo<\/a> of the England native via her Instagram.<\/p>\n The\u00a0<\/i>Favourite<\/em> star and Swift, who were first linked in May 2017, were notoriously private during their nearly six-year relationship. A source told Us<\/em> earlier this month that the pop star\u2019s A-list celebrity status was a contributing factor to the twosome going their separate ways<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cFame factored into their\u00a0split. Joe is very shy and never liked all the attention that came with dating<\/a> one of the most popular singers in the world,\u201d the insider explained at the time, adding that Alwyn didn\u2019t \u201cblame\u201d Swift for her popularity but \u201cdidn\u2019t like having to be on all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n In January 2019, the Conversations With Friends<\/em> star told Mr Porter\u2019s The Journal<\/em><\/a> that the duo\u2019s decision to stay low-key shouldn\u2019t be shocking.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone you meet on the streets would just spill their guts out to you, therefore why should I?\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then that is defined as being \u2018strangely private.\u2019 Fine. But I don\u2019t think it is \u2026 I think it\u2019s normal.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift, meanwhile, opened up about the pair\u2019s decision to stay out of the spotlight in her 2020 Netflix documentary, Miss Americana<\/em><\/a>. The Pennsylvania native met Alwyn shortly after her respective splits from Calvin Harris<\/strong><\/a> and Tom Hiddleston<\/strong> <\/a>and amid her feud with Kanye West<\/strong> <\/a>and Kim Kardashian<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 both of which led her to avoid the public eye.<\/p>\n \u201cI felt alone, I felt really bitter,\u201d she confessed.<\/i>\u00a0\u201cI felt sort of like a wounded animal lashing out. I figured I had to reset everything. \u00a0I had to reconstruct an entire belief system for my own personal sanity. I also was falling in love with someone who had a wonderfully normal, balanced life.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cI was falling in love with someone who had a wonderfully normal, balanced life. We decided together we wanted our relationship to be private,\u201d she said. \u201cEven though it was [a] really horrible [time], I was happy. But I wasn\u2019t happy in the way I was trained to be happy. It was happiness without anyone else\u2019s input. We were just \u2026 happy.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift would go on to write multiple songs about finding solace in her romance with the Harriet<\/em> star including \u201cSweet Nothing\u201d off her 2022 album Midnights<\/em>, a track she cowrote with Alwyn. (The twosome collaborated multiple times for her records<\/a> Folklore, Evermore<\/em> and Midnights<\/em>.)<\/p>\n \u201cThey said the end is coming \/ Everyone\u2019s up to something \/ I find myself running home to your sweet nothings \/ Outside, they\u2019re push and shoving \/ You\u2019re in the kitchen humming \/ All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing,\u201d Swift croons on the piano ballad.<\/p>\n Despite recently pulling the plug on her longtime romance, the Red<\/em> singer found a way to give fans a subtle sign she was doing well<\/a> during her Saturday, April 15, Eras<\/em> performance in Tampa, Florida. When a concertgoer held up a sign that read, \u201cYou OK?\u201d Swift briefly paused to give a thumbs-up before continuing her choreography.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Taylor](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Taylor-Swift-Reveals-the-One-Album-Shell-Play-Surprise-Songs-From-More-Than-Once.jpg?w=700&quality=86&strip=all\")
