Taylor Swift has reportedly got secretly engaged to British actor Joe Alwyn, with the couple set to tie the knot in 18 months time.
The actor, 31, is said to have popped the question to Taylor, 32, a few months ago, with only their closest circle knowing about their plans to marry.
The loved-up couple, who have dated since 2016, are reportedly planning a 'simple yet elegant wedding' and aren't lured into the prospect of lucrative magazine or TV deals for their big day.
A source close to Joe told The Sun: "Taylor and Joe are incredibly happy, and very, very in love, they’ve actually been engaged for a few months but have only told their inner-inner circle - basically immediate family, and trusted, very old friends.
"Everyone has been sworn to secrecy, too. Taylor has a beautiful ring but she only wears it when she’s at home - i.e behind closed doors.

"Again, only a handful of people know details about the wedding and Taylor hasn’t even told some of her team about the engagement."
The publication reports there isn't any specific wedding details yet and it is unknown if Taylor and Joe will officially announced their engagement.
Mirror Online has contacted Taylor and Joe's representatives for comment.

The pair previously sparked rumours of an engagement back in January as they jet-setted 4,000 miles from Nashville to St Ives for a romantic break.
The rumour mill was in full flow thanks to their trip to the picturesque fishing harbour town in Cornwall which is said to be "particularly special" to them.
Pop sensation Taylor and Joe have been together for six years and split their time between the US and London.
A source familiar with the couple said the pair's relationship intensified during the Covid-19 pandemic as it resulted in them living together throughout the lockdowns.
London-born Alwyn gained recognition after starring in war drama Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk in 2016.
Speaking to The Guardian about keeping his relationship private with the Grammy winner, Joe said back in April: "It’s just not for other people.
"I don’t know how best to talk about it. I mean, I’m aware of people’s… of that size of interest, and that world existing.

"It’s just not something I particularly care about, or have much interest in feeding, I guess, because the more it’s fed, the more you are opening a gate for intrusion. I think that’s just my response to a culture that has this increasing expectation that everything is going to be given."

In 2019, Joe revealed that he liked when Taylor wrote songs about him.
When asked by The Sunday Times if he minded being her subject matter for her music, he said: “No, not at all. No. It’s flattering,”
The actor even co-wrote songs with Swift for her most recent albums, Folklore and Evermore, which were released last year.
He wrote under the pseudonym William Bowery.
Taylor - one of music's most influential and highest earning women, amassing a $170million as well as chart domination - has had her pick of the A-List when it comes to romances.
Before Joe, she dated Hollywood heavyweight Tom Hiddleston, 41, fellow chart-topper Calvin Harris (dating the Scot from March 2015 - June 2016), and before that there was another transatlantic relationship with Harry Styles.
Taylor has also had her pick of Hollywood's most desirable bachelors when it comes to romance, and has dated the likes of John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal as well.
