Joe Alwyn DENIES visiting London pub ex Taylor Swift mentions in her song The Black Dog - as he breaks silence on their split

Joe Alwyn denies he's ever been a patron at a bar called The Black Dog, which ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift names in her song of the same name.

In a profile with The Sunday Times, the 33-year-old actor revealed what he likes to do in his spare time.

'It probably looks pretty similar to yours, or anyone’s — seeing friends, traveling, going to the pub,' he answered, joking, 'Can I make a more boring list?'

He was subsequently asked if his favorite pub might be called The Black Dog, located in Vauxhall, London.

'I’ve never been to Vauxhall,' Alwyn replied, while 'smiling a smile that hints that there is more to say.'

Fans believe some songs on Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, were written about Alwyn, whom she dated for six years.

However, the Swifties have connected The Black Dog to Matty Healy, another one of Taylor's past suitors.

The musicians briefly dated for a several weeks in 2023.

Healy, 35, is now engaged to model Gabriette, after they struck up a romance last fall.

Taylor's Black Dog song lyrics read: 'I am someone who until recent events / You shared your secrets with / And your location, you forgot to turn it off.

'And so I watch as you walk / Into some bar called The Black Dog / And pierce new holes in my heart.'

She goes on to sing: 'I just don't understand how you don't miss me / In The Black Dog, when someone plays The Starting Line.'

Another hint that the tune was penned about Matty points to his band The 1975, which often covers The Starting Line, a pop-punk collective.

Elsewhere in his Sunday Times interview, Joe described his time with the pop star as 'long, loving' and 'fully committed.'

When asked if he listened to her latest album, Alwyn answered indirectly and shared that the end of their relationship was 'a hard thing to navigate.'

Last year in April, it was confirmed that Swift and Alwyn had officially gone their separate ways.

The songstress has since moved on with Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.
