Taylor Swift has been dropping mysterious The Tortured Poets Department QR codes all over the world, as one does, and naturally she hit up London. And um, she went ahead and dropped it right here:
While this might initially seem like a random spot with no specific significance, fans figured out that this building is home of the Truman Black Eagle Brewery.
And if that isn't ringing any bells, Truman Black happens to be Matty Healy's alias and Instagram handle. (He told NME he wanted an "obscure" alias.)
As a reminder, Taylor and Matty dated briefly last spring—getting together in May, shortly after her split from Joe Alwyn. At the time, The Sun spoke to a source who said “She and Matty are madly in love."
The pair split up after Matty's history of sexist, misogynistic, and antisemetic comments resurfaced, and a source told People, “They were never boyfriend-girlfriend or exclusive and were always just having fun."
Back in February (just a few days after Taylor announced The Tortured Poets Department on stage at the Grammy Awards), Matty went on a mid-show rant that people think is about his ex's upcoming alum. Mostly because Matty cryptically said “Do not come for me. Trust me. You know who I’m talking to. Honestly, you know who you are. I’m as mental as I seem. I have the receipts. Don’t fuck with me. Trust me.”
Anyway! Tomorrow should be interesting! 🙃
