Taylor Swift Fans Convinced ‘The Black Dog’ Is About Joe Alwyn After Owner Says He ‘Frequents’ the Bar

Taylor Swift fans think her song The Black Dog is about ex Joe Alwyn after the owner of the bar mentioned in the lyrics hinted that the actor ‘frequents’ it.

The Black Dog’s owner said that the establishment has received its highest increase in foot traffic ever since the song’s release. However, another telling lyric that hints the song is about Joe, 32, is when Taylor sings, “Six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke.” After TTPD’s release, Jack Antonoff shared some photos and videos from the recording process, including a clip of Taylor recording “The Black Dog” in the studio. The Black Dog’s owner confirmed that Taylor has visited the bar in the past, likely amid her six-year relationship with Joe.
