Taylor Swift‘s Easter eggs are legion. And Swifties are legendary for scouring the planet to uncover each hidden clue, no matter how inconceivable their theories is perhaps. And the most recent one is a twisted yarn for the ages.
Maybe you’ve seen the trailer for Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn’s newest motion flick, Argylle?The film starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, Dua Lipa and Samuel L. Jackson hits theaters on Feb. 2 and follows the adventures of a spy novelist who carts round an lovable Scottish fold cat in an argyle-print backpack with a peekaboo bubble that permits the kittie to watch the world on her proprietor’s real-life adventures.
The film is predicated on a novel referred to as Argylle written pseudonymously by an writer referred to as Ellie (or within the film, Elly) Conway that hit cabinets on Jan. 9. So naturally Swifties suppose the singer — who over the previous 12 months has been setting data together with her career-spanning Eras Tour, releasing re-recordings of her Converse Now and 1989 albums and criss-crossed the nation to observe NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce crush the competitors with the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs — wrote the ebook.
A number of the parallels do really feel like Swift eggs, together with the truth that TayTay loves sporting argyle sweaters, typically ghostwrites songs utilizing pen names — even hawking a “Purple (Taylor’s Model) Argyle Sweater” — and famously has two Scottish Folds, Meredith Gray and Olivia Benson. And, not for nothing, she carried Olivia Benson in a catpack much like the one within the film in her Miss Americana doc from 2020.
As Rolling Stone reported, as a result of even essentially the most dogged Swiftie couldn’t discover any web historical past of writer Conway anyplace, naturally they put two and 6 collectively and are satisfied Swift is behind the ebook.
“I’m not a giant web man, and it was really my daughter who got here as much as me — that is the ability of superstar and the web — and mentioned, ‘You by no means advised me Taylor wrote the ebook!’” Vaughn advised the journal. “And I’m taking a look at her going, ‘What are you speaking about Taylor Swift wrote the ebook? She didn’t write the ebook!’ And I used to be laughing as a result of I used to be like, ‘It’s not true! She didn’t write the ebook!’ However my daughter was satisfied of it.”
Vaughn couldn’t stress sufficient that this one mission Swift was not concerned with. He advised RS, “There’s a actual ebook … and it’s a extremely good ebook. And there is an Elly Conway who wrote the ebook, nevertheless it’s not Taylor Swift. And I say that as a result of I think about Taylor Swift has a load of individuals attempting to leap on her bandwagon left, proper, and middle, and I don’t need to be part of that membership. I did learn the conspiracies and I used to be like, wow, they don’t depart a stone unturned! Nevertheless it’s not Taylor Swift. She undoubtedly didn’t write the ebook.”
It will get higher, although. Swift did play a small half within the film in accordance with the director, who mentioned his daughters with supermodel Claudia Schiffer satisfied the couple to purchase them a Scottish Fold for Christmas after watching Miss Americana. And that cat, in fact, is the one featured within the movie.
“Paradoxically, what she is answerable for is the Scottish Fold,” Vaughn mentioned. “I bought house sooner or later, it was Christmas, and I used to be like, ‘What the f–okay is that noise?’ And I’m working round the home and I hear a noise, and the youngsters had seen a Taylor Swift documentary [Miss Americana] and there was a Scottish Fold in that, and so they’d persuaded my spouse, Claudia [Schiffer], to get them the kitten for Christmas. It was purchased with out my permission and hidden from me.”
