Taylor Swift Fans Flock to London Pub Mentioned in New Album
Taylor Swift fans are taking over The Black Dog pub in south-west London after the establishment was mentioned on the singer’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. The buzz started online before the album’s release, and now fans are flocking to the pub to soak in the Swift-inspired atmosphere.
Lily Bottomley, the pub’s events and social media manager, had to call in extra staff to handle the surge in demand. The pub has even introduced a “Swift” burger and “(Taylor’s Version)” cocktails to capitalize on its newfound fame.
While Bottomley couldn’t confirm if the Black Dog mentioned in the album is the same pub, she did mention a “certain blonde regular” who frequented the establishment in the past. Fans believe the album is about Swift’s former British boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn, sparking interest in the London locations mentioned in her songs.
Swift describes her album as “an anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions, and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time.” Fans are loving the album, with Spotify reporting that Poets broke the record for the platform’s most-streamed album in a single day this year.
Swifties like Katie, a web developer from Northern Ireland, and Emilia, a masters student from Vienna, are drawn to places mentioned in Swift’s songs. Katie even did a Taylor Swift walking tour in New York last year.
The Black Dog pub is basking in the attention, with Bottomley expressing gratitude to the fans for their support. The cozy neighborhood pub has become a dream destination for Swift fans, who appreciate the singer’s lyrical genius.
As fans continue to flock to The Black Dog, it seems that Taylor Swift’s influence knows no bounds, captivating audiences around the world with her music and storytelling.
