Coincidence? The Swifties think not! Fans are convinced Joe Alwyn subtly showed his support for Taylor Swift buying back her masters by sharing an interesting photo to his Instagram in
March. Last week, Swift revealed that she purchased her music catalog from investment firm Shamrock Capital, in what is believed to be a $360 million deal. EXPLORE MORE This week, social
media sleuths noticed that the pop star’s ex may have known the transaction was coming — or at the very least helped manifest it — by sharing a photo of a heart-shaped dish decorated with a
green four-leaf clover. The lucky leaves are notably similar to the shamrock plant, a type of clover used as a symbol of Ireland, and, of course, as Shamrock Capital’s logo. The only
difference is that Alwyn’s clover has four leaves while the LA-based investment firm’s emblem has three. Still, TikTok was flooded with theories about Alwyn’s alleged nod to the “Cruel
Summer” singer’s bombshell business agreement. “He got so good [at] the art of secret, coded message, because he learned it from her,” one person wrote on a TikTok video about his
two-month-old post. “He’s happy for her that’s all,” a second person suggested. “Well maybe he does wish her well. I’m sure she was a good gf,” a third person suggested. “ITS SO SUSPICIOUS,”
a TikToker chimed in. Others, however, were more skeptical about his intentions and pointed out that Alywn, 34, shared the photo dump five days before St. Patrick’s Day — a holiday often
symbolized by a four-leaf clover. “Let’s be real he did it for Saint Patrick’s day,” one person commented, garnering more than 7,000 “likes.” “This is a stretch you guys lmao,” a critic
said. “I kinda think we’re reaching, seeing something that’s not there,” another agreed. “That’s a four leaf clover not a shamrock, and it was Saint Patrick’s day,” one more pointed out.
Alwyn and Swift, 35, broke up in 2023 after six years of dating, and the Grammy winner has since moved on with boyfriend Travis Kelce. WANT MORE CELEBRITY AND POP CULTURE NEWS? Start your

albums — “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989” and “Reputation” — to Scooter Braun. A year later, Braun sold her music to Shamrock Capital. In 2021, Swift began
re-recording and re-releasing her music as a way of reclaiming ownership over her art. She had already released “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” “Red (Taylor’s Version),” “Speak Now (Taylor’s
Version)” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).” Last Friday, Swift announced that she finally bought back her masters while simultaneously announcing that she re-recorded her eponymous debut album
but has barely scratched the surface of her “Reputation” album. “All of the music I’ve ever made … now belongs… to me,” she wrote in an emotional letter to fans May 30. Braun, for his part,
told Page Six in a statement that he was “happy for her” — a week after Page Six reported that the music manager was urging Shamrock Capital to sell the music back to Swift. After inking the
deal, Swift joked that she was thinking about getting her first tattoo dedicated to the investment firm, saying that she would get “a huge shamrock in the middle of [her] forehead.”
