Taylor split from Joe last year whilst she has been in a public feud with Kendall Jenner’s family for years.
Joe and Kendall both attended the star-studded Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night, whilst Taylor was on stage for her Eras tour stop in Miami, Florida.
In the snap shared by Vogue, Joe is seen with his arm around a beaming Kendall, as they pose alongside another one of Taylor’s exes Patrick Schwarzenegger.
The photo seems to send a clear message, as Kendall and Taylor are known for their fractious relationship.
Both of them were linked to pop superstar Harry Styles, within months of each other whilst Taylor has been locked in a feud with Kendall’s sister Kim Kardashian for years.
That family rivalry traces back to the 2016 release of Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo. In the album’s song Famous, Kim’s ex-husband raps: ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous.’
The line, which alludes to when Kanye interrupted Taylor’s win at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, was supposedly passed on to the songstress for approval, but she denies ever giving it the okay.
Taylor said she had been contact about the song, but she was ‘never made aware of the actual lyric, “I made that b**** famous.”‘
In an effort to prove Kanye’s version, Kim shared an edited clip from the studio of him calling up Taylor and seemingly getting her approval.
However, the clip shows him conveying the idea, more than the specific lyrics, and when the complete call later leaked it made it clear that the use of ‘b****,’ which seemed to be a major issue for Taylor, was left out completely.
Things seemed to settle down in subsequent years, and Kim claimed in 2019 on Watch What Happens Live that the trio had ‘moved on’ from the dispute.

That wasn’t how the Blank Space singer saw it, though, and she later said in an interview with Elle that ‘It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us.’
Although Taylor’s career has never been better or higher profile than in the last few years, she complained in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile that the dispute ‘took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.’
‘You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,’ she seethed.
Meanwhile, Taylor didn’t end her six year relationship with Joe Alwyn on amicable terms.
In June Joe finally made the decision to break his silence on the split after being left ’emotionally drained’ by the endless questions about their six year romance and subsequent split following the release of her latest album.
The actor said he had ‘a long, loving, fully committed relationship’ with the US pop superstar as he opened up for the first time in an interview with the Sunday Times Style, revealing their breakup was a ‘hard thing to navigate.’
Alwyn reportedly addressed the speculation in order to ‘move forward,’ after Swift appeared to make several scathing digs about him on The Tortured Poets Department, which she released in April.
‘Joe wanted to get this over with once and for all so he can move forward with his life and his career,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘He never wanted to say anything and was hoping it would all blow over, but it hasn’t. Taylor has made a fortune off their breakup by forming an entire album around it. Meanwhile he has been cast as “Taylor’s ex.”‘
Fans were left shocked by the new snap of Joe and Kendall with one tweeting: ‘Kendall and Joe in one Photo was not in my 2024 bingo card.’
