"Have you seen his arm?": Can Joe Alwyn fight trend explained as Taylor Swift Grammys 2023 clips drive fans wild

English actor Joe Alwyn began trending on Twitter after his longtime partner Taylor Swift walked the red carpet at the 2023 Grammy Awards without him.

On February 5, Swift attended the awards ceremony dressed in a dark blue Roberto Cavalli dress.

As Alwyn's absence made him trend on social media, loyal Swift fans were quick to return to their favorite running gag, wanting to know if Swift's boyfriend can protect her at all costs. This led to the resurgence of the #CanJoeAlywnFight trend on Twitter.

Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift have been pretty low-key since they began dating in 2016. The Wildest Dreams singer has had her share of infamous incidents in the past at award functions, the most notable being Kanye West interrupting her acceptance speech at the 2009 Video Music Awards.

Now, every time Taylor Swift makes a public appearance, fans flock to the internet to question if Joe Alwyn could fend for his girlfriend if she gets in any trouble.
