    The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position. The author does not disclose sources and there is emotional manipulation through the use of phrases like 'difficulties', 'hard thing to navigate', and 'gap between what is known and what is said'. The title itself sensationalizes the content by implying that Joe Alwyn is opening up about his breakup with Taylor Swift for the first time, when in fact, he has spoken about it before in a documentary.
    • The author selectively reports that Joe Alwyn said 'I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathise and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years.', implying that this is new information when it was mentioned in Swift's documentary.
    • The title sensationalizes the content by implying that Joe Alwyn is opening up about his breakup for the first time.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes an appeal to authority by quoting Taylor Swift's album title and referencing fan speculation about the songs being about Joe Alwyn. This is not a logical fallacy in itself, but it does weaken the author's argument as it suggests a reliance on external sources rather than original analysis.
