Joe and Taylor dated over a period of six years and their breakup was first reported earlier this month.

Taylor was also recently spotted in Liverpool where it was rumoured she was filming a music video alongside Taylor Lautner and Joey King. The singer is currently partway through a break of her Eras tour and will resume live shows on Thursday, April 13.
