The bar’s social media manager, Lily Bottomley, confirmed that the pub has been packed with Swifties ever since the album dropped, and hinted that Joe Alwyn, Swift’s ex-boyfriend, may have frequented the establishment in the past.
The track in question, “The Black Dog,” is one of the rawest on the album, with lyrics that hint at a recent heartbreak. Fans speculate that Alwyn may have inspired the song, given his past relationship with Swift that ended last year.
