Taylor Swift has visited Ireland and mentioned the country in her lyrics, and also has some genealogical links. The US singer-songwriter (34) will play three dates in Dublin from Friday as she takes her record-breaking Eras Tour to the capital. Advertisement Swift went on holiday to Co Wicklow in July 2021 with her former partner, British actor Joe Alwyn, who was filming Sally Rooney’s Conversations With Friends in Ireland that year.
She referred to their trip in Sweet Nothing, which was on the 2022 Midnights album. The romantic piece recalls a pebble she picked up from the beach and how she finds herself “running home to your sweet nothings”. The lyrics also say: “We almost forgot it (the pebble).
Does it ever miss Wicklow sometimes? Ooh, ooh.” Advertisement Later that month, Swift shared photographs of herself on a well-known Co Donegal beach. Advertisement Posting on Instagram and Twitter, the pop star was seen on the sands of Ballymastocker Bay in Portsalon.
It’s been 1 year since we escaped the real world together and imagined ourselves someplace simpler. With tall trees & salt air. Where you can wear lace nightgowns that make you look like a Victorian ghost & no one will side eye you cause no one is around https://t.
