On Monday, a photo agency claimed the Grammy winner was carried out of her New York City home in a giant suitcase, causing the star’s fans to freak out on Twitter. Swift, 27, has been largely out of the spotlight for several months as she works on new music and spends quality time with her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, 26, and the star’s loyal Swifties seemed almost convinced by the rumor. However, the photo agency has since told Spin they are retracting the story after speaking with someone from Swift’s team. Either way, Twitter had a field day with the rumor, and even DiGiorno Pizza chimed in. In May, a source told PEOPLE Swift and Alwyn are keeping their relationship away from prying eyes. “She wanted to get to know him without any chaos,” explained the source. According to The Sun, the “Blank Space” singer has been renting a house in North London and wore disguises while spending time with him in the U.K. RELATED VIDEO: Taylor Swift Is Dating British Actor Joe Alwyn Earlier this month, fans were also disappointed when Swift didn’t host her annual star-studded Fourth of July party in Rhode Island. In late June, she made an appearance in a pre-recorded video to congratulate Russell Westbrook — who is a longtime fan of the pop star — and also recently returned to Instagram to support her BFF Selena Gomez‘s new single “Fetish.”
