On her 2019 album, , she sang of all of her favorite spots in England’s capital in “London Boy,” which was believed to be an ode to Alwyn, 33. Swift subsequently put a heartbreaking spin on her love for the city in “So Long, London” from her latest album, .
In the song, she seemingly detailed the breakdown of her romance with Alwyn, singing, “I’m just mad as hell ‘cause I loved this place for / So long, London.” Swift also referenced a local London pub on her 11th album, naming her song “The Black Dog” after the establishment.
