Joe Alwyn says he’s never been a patron at a bar called The Black Dog, which ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift names in her song of the same name.
BLACK DOG LYRICS
Taylor’s Black Dog song lyrics read: ‘I am someone who until recent events / You shared your secrets with / And your location, you forgot to turn it off.’And so I watch as you walk / Into some bar called The Black Dog / And pierce new holes in my heart.’
She goes on to sing: ‘I just don’t understand how you don’t miss me / In The Black Dog, when someone plays The Starting Line.’
In a profile with The Sunday Times, the 33-year-old actor revealed what he likes to do in his spare time.
‘It probably looks pretty similar to yours, or anyone’s — seeing friends, traveling, going to the pub,’ he answered, joking, ‘Can I make a more boring list?’
He was then asked if his favorite pub might be called The Black Dog, located in Vauxhall, London.
‘I’ve never been to Vauxhall,’ Alwyn replied in a smiling gig that hints that there is more to say.
Fans believe some songs on Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, were written about Alwyn, whom she dated for six years.
IS THE BLACK DOG ABOUT MATTY HEALY?
Now, the Swifties have connected The Black Dog to Matty Healy, another one of Taylor’s past suitors.
Matty and Taylor briefly dated for a several weeks in 2023.
Healy, 35, is now engaged to model Gabriette, after they struck up a romance last fall.
