Taylor Swift's fans stormed The Black Dog, a pub in southwest London, after the place was mentioned in the American singer's double album, "The Tortured Poet's Department". Spotify has announced that the American singer's new album broke the record for the most streamed album in a single day this year on the platform, a feat she achieved in less than 12 hours.
Lily Bottomley, the pub's social media and events manager, told Reuters that the commotion began last week ahead of Friday's release of the double album, which includes the 17th-placed song 'The Black Dog' '. The manager had to call in extra staff to cope with the demand and the pub, located in Vauxhall, capitalized on its newfound fame by introducing a new burger dubbed the Swift and a cocktail called the Taylor's Version)''.
Although she can't be absolutely sure that the Black Dog bar she runs and the one mentioned in the album are one and the same, Lily Bottomley said that at one point "she was a frequent blonde customer". "An anthology of new creations that reflect events, opinions and feelings from a fleeting and fatalistic moment", is the description Swift made on Instagram of her 11th studio album. Fans believe that the lyrics are aimed at the ex-boyfriend of the singer, the British Joe Alwyn. Swift mentioned in her songs other places in London where the couple spent time in the British capital and which aroused the interest of fans.

''We're a very small, neighborhood pub, so it's a dream come true,'' said Bottomley. "We are very grateful to the fans, who have been amazing." Katie, a web developer and a ''Swifty'' (as fans of the American singer call her), told Reuters that she likes to go to the places mentioned in the singer's songs. "I went to New York last year and did a 'Taylor Swift' walking tour of the places she mentioned." Emilia, a master's student from Vienna, said she imagined Swift going to that pub. ''I love him, he's a lyrical genius,'' she said.
