But with her most recent album, [_Reputation_](http://time.com/5044212/taylor-swift-reputation-streaming/)_,_ receiving only [one nomination](https://people.com/music/grammys-2019-taylor-swift-shut-out-reputation/) from the Recording Academy, the frequent Grammy award collector opted to attend the official BAFTAs after-party with her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, rather than make an appearance at Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center. Alwyn stars alongside Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone in _The Favourite_, which took home seven awards at Sunday’s BAFTAs ceremony, including Outstanding British Film. Swift did not attend the ceremony itself, but showed up in a powder blue Stella McCartney dress and matching coat to support Alwyn at the post-awards dinner. “AHHHHH [@thefavouritemovie](https://www.instagram.com/thefavouritemovie/) just won 7 [@bafta](https://www.instagram.com/bafta/)awards !!!” Swift captioned an Instagram of herself posing in the sleeveless gown. “Bout to go give some high fives – thanks [@stellamccartney](https://www.instagram.com/stellamccartney/) for this dressss.” Swift is currently in London filming the forthcoming movie adaptation of the musical _Cats_.
