Taylor Swift’s current relationship sounds miserable according to new details

No grand gestures here

Magic, madness, heaven, sin — according to Taylor's own songs she's extremely high maintenance when it comes to relationships. She wants grand gestures, screaming, fighting, perfect storms, oh, and they have to be hot, too.

Which is why, according to new details on Swift's "very normal" relationship with actor Joe Alwyn, a guy who kind of looks like her cousin, not only is she definitely bored, but I'm not even sure we're going to get a good song out of this one.

Harry gave us "Ready For It," Tom gave us "Gorgeous" and Jake gave us Swift at her absolute best with "All Too Well," so what's left?

According to a source speaking to Us Weekly, even though the couple are "very much in love," they're keeping their romance private by keeping it on the DL. But "Swift" and "private" are precisely in opposition with one another, as proven in every song from "Speak Now," to "Look What You Made Me Do."

"They have quite a low-key relationship," the source explained, "which Taylor likes." (??!)

"It's very normal, and no one really knows about it right now. They just work out, watch movies together and invite friends over."

So maybe her next bop will be called something like "Netflix and chill" or "GTL," which at least some of us could relate to. But I liked it when her love was aspirational. "Taylor loves to cook and bake for him," the source said, "They're still taking it slow."

And so for the sake of her art — for the sake of Reputation — we hope there aren't any songs about Joe on it.
