Taylor might never ever ever get back together with her British exes Matty Healy or Joe Alwyn, but the American singer has definitely fallen in love with the UK.
She spent a lot of time in London, where some of her favourite haunts have become destinations for the hordes of fans known as Swifties.
Taylor is currently spending time in the UK as part of her global Eras tour. She's arrived in London, where she'll stay for more nights than any other city on her tour circuit – bringing an estimated £300m boost to London's economy.
Nearly 700,000 people are expected to attend Taylor's London dates. She's already performed in other UK cities including Cardiff, Edinburgh and Liverpool.
However, some of Taylor's best-loved places might surprise you – she doesn't spend all of her time in London! So, where does Tay-Tay like to go when she's visiting?
Taylor Swift's top UK destinations
St Ives
In 2022, Taylor Swift flew from her home in Nashville (4,000 miles!) to take a three-day break in the picturesque Cornish seaside town of St Ives.
In the summer, St Ives is a popular tourist destination with streets packed with tourists. In winter, Taylor would have seen a more peaceful town and had the chance to explore the winding alleys of the historic fishing town, taking in the famous turquoise waters.
She joined her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn there for a romantic winter getaway. The pair rented a holiday home for the trip to ensure that they had complete privacy.
We don't know what the couple did on their trip – did she check out the art on display at Tate St Ives, go for lunch at Porthminster Beach, enjoy a Cornish ice cream or go for a stroll along the South West Coast Path? We can only imagine.
Taylor hasn't announced any plans to return to St Ives, but you never know! Perhaps she'll pay a visit during her time in the UK.
The Lake District
The Lake District has inspired artists for centuries and the sweeping landscape was a great influence on the Romantic poets, especially William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge.
Taylor visited the Lake District when she was dating Harry Styles. She explored Bowness on Windermere with Harry, making a trip to Beatrix Potter World. According to lakelovers.co.uk, Taylor joined Harry for a traditional pub lunch, but was shocked when she found out was black pudding was made of (to her credit, she tried it anyway!).
Taylor surprised her fans last year by revealing that the dramatic landscapes had inspired her as a song writer. In the documentary Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, she said that the Lake District was the inspiration behind her song The Lakes.
The lyrics of the song include lines such as 'take me to the lakes where the poets went to die' and 'those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry'.
The Cotswolds
Taylor Swift is staying in the Cotswolds during her time in the UK. This idyllic rural setting will allow her to relax and recharge between performances in the company of her footballer boyfriend Travis Kelce.
According to The Daily Mail, Taylor is believed to have booked a picturesque farmhouse that charges £15,000 per week for her tour.
Chipping Norton is a beautiful market town situated 18 miles north-west of Oxford. Taylor isn't the only famous face you might spot if you're in the neighbourhood – local residents include Victoria and David Beckham and former Prime Minister David Cameron.
London
Taylor has spent a good deal of time in the UK capital, so it's not surprising that she's found a few favourite spots.
The city has made an appearance in her songs too, with tracks such as So Long, London and London Boy.
Here's where you might spot her in London…
1. Kentish Delight kebab shop
This little kebab shop in Kentish Town is one of Taylor's favourite London hangouts – and it even appeared in Taylor's End Game music video in 2017!
Taylor loves this kebab shop so much that she ordered 45 of them for her London show, according to The Sun newspaper.
If you're heading there on a Taylor Swift pilgrimage, make sure you order her usual – a chicken kebab (ask for a Swiftie kebab).
She offered the owner a complimentary ticket to her London show, but he was just too busy to take her up on it.
2. The Black Dog, Vauxhall
The impressive detective skills of the Swifties identified this pub thanks to the title of one of the songs in Taylor's Tortured Poets Department album.
The pub has been inundated with the singer's fans since then and has struggled to keep up with demand.
3. Camden Market
Taylor mentions visiting Camden Market in her song London Boy. She sings: '"'You know I love a London boy / I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon.'
This bustling part of London has over 1,000 shops, stalls, bars and cafes to explore, so we can see why Taylor loves it there!
4. The West End
Taylor loves to catch a show when she's in town! She was recently spotted watching Cabaret at the KitKatClub with her friend Cara Delevigne, according to Elle Magazine.
The West End also made an appearance in London Boy. The song goes 'I love high tea, stories from uni, and the West End'.
