Why Taylor Swift Skipped the Screen Actors Guild Awards

From ELLE

Tonight, Joe Alwyn and the cast of The Favourite continued their award season run for the film at the Screen Actors Guild. The Favourite has three nominations, one for each of its three female leads: best actress for Olivia Colman and best supporting actress nominations for Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz. But their presence at the award show was limited: just Stone and Weisz were photographed on the red carpet. Alwyn was not, and naturally, his girlfriend Taylor Swift wasn't on the carpet either.

Even if Alwyn was there, Swift's absence wouldn't be too surprising: While Swift has attended Alwyn's premieres and made a guest appearance at the Golden Globes, the private couple of two years have never been photographed at an event posing together. Swift instead has attended the after parties of some of his film's premieres-though casually and not in a red carpet capacity. Swift last made a surprise appearance on stage during the Globes and attended its after parties with Alwyn, but she was never photographed with him during any part of that night.

Alwyn and Swift were both last publicly seen in London, although not together. Alwyn was photographed at a menswear fashion show there on the 20th:

And Swift is shooting Cats in the city. She shared a photo of herself on set Tuesday. London to Los Angeles is an over 11 hour flight that Swift and Alwyn, assuming he's also still in London, would have had to make:

But there is a chance that Swift could be at another award show with Alwyn soon-and even walk a red carpet with him. The Favourite is nominated for several awards at the British Academy Film Awards in London, including Best Film and Outstanding British Film. With Swift and Alwyn both already in the city, a Swift appearance at the show isn't out of the question, although it would mean Swift would have to give up attending the Grammys in Los Angeles. Both the BAFTAs and the Grammys are on the same day, February 10.

Beyond that, The Favourite has a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars, a very high-profile opportunity for Swift to come out and support her boyfriend.
