Maybe it’s because she’s a Londoner that Taylor Swift loves London so… much that she’s shouting out her favourite parts on her new album, Lover.
The singer has spent a lot of time in London during her career and especially over the past three years while she’s been dating actor Joe Alwyn.
And during that time the 29-year-old’s grown to love the British city so much that she name drops some of her favourite places in her new bop, London Boy – with a little help from a famous Londoner!
While the song is all about her love for Joe, it’s the places she mentions that has got fans talking.
The song starts with Taylor’s Cats co-star Idris Elba talking about riding around London on his scooter before Taylor goes on to sing: ‘I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon.’
‘Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates,’ she then sings in the chorus.
She then mentions hearing Joe’s mates ‘stories from uni and the West End’, before revealing that she quite enjoys ‘nights in Brixton’.
Yes, you read that night. Taylor Swift likes to grab a drink and party in Brixton like the rest of us.
The American star also loves to hang out in ‘Shoreditch in the afternoon,’ doesn’t always want to be shopping in ‘Louis V up on Bond Street’ and instead prefers chilling ‘on the Heath’.
She also loves a little walk through ‘Soho in the afternoon’. As she should.
But there’s one place Joe and his pals don’t seem to have taken her to yet as she sings, ‘Please show me Hackney.’
We’d be more than happy to take you around Tay Swizz. Just give us a ring!
Taylor Swift - London Boy lyrics
Intro
We can go driving in, on my scooter
Uh, you know, just riding in London
Alright, yeah
Verse One
I love my hometown as much as Motown, I love SoCal
And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey
But something happened, I heard him laughing I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent
They say home is where the heart is
But that’s not where mine lives
Chorus
You know I love a London boy
I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon
He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet
Darling, I fancy you
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumours are true
You know I love a London boy Boy, I fancy you
Verse Two
And now I love high tea, stories from Uni, and the West End
You can find me in the pub, we are watching rugby with his school friends
Show me a grey sky, a rainy cab ride Babe, don’t threaten me with a good time
They say home is where the heart is
But God, I love the English
Chorus
You know I love a London boy, I enjoy nights in Brixton
Shoreditch in the afternoon
He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet
Darling, I fancy you
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumours are true
You know I love a London boy
Boy, I fancy you
Bridge
So please show me Hackney
Doesn’t have to be Louis V up on Bond Street
Just wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Stick with me, I’m your queen
Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney, I’m the heat
Just wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Chorus
You know I love a London boy, I enjoy walking SoHo
Drinking in the afternoon
He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet
Darling, I fancy you
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess all the rumours are true
You know I love a London boy
Boy, I fancy you
