London Boy
Age: 5 born August 23, 2019
“London Boy” is most likely an ode to Swift’s boyfriend as of the song’s release, British actor Joe Alwyn. Other songs on the album, including the title track, are assumed to be about their relationship.
Having mostly escaped the public eye during her relationship with Alwyn, Swift finally shares some of the most memorable experiences she’s enjoyed.
This track is notable for using an interpolation of the rhythm on Cautious Clay’s “Cold War,” making Clay only the second artist ever to be interpolated on one of Swift’s songs (after Right Said Fred on “Look What You Made Me Do”).read more
