Music timeline- forklore/evermore to midnights to TTPD

I have been listening to Taylor nonstop since the tour started, but I’ve also been a massive fan since Tim McGraw days. Forklore is arguably one of my fav albums along with midnights. Is it possible that Joe and Taylor broke up earlier than we think? Like around the folklore and evermore time period… the songs just lead to a break up to me and then midnights just screams Matty to me. Would love thoughts!!
