    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A south London pub named in the title of a track on Taylor Swift’s new album has described the reaction as “crazy”.

    Event manager Lily Bottomley described the Swifties’ reaction as “amazing” and “overwhelmingly positive”.

    The Black Dog is the 17th track on The Tortured Poets Department, which last week broke Spotify’s record for the most-streamed album in a single day.

    Speaking to the BBC, Ms Bottomley revealed that Swift had previously come to the pub herself and said the venue was now offering Swift-themed burgers and cocktails.

    The lyrics “And so I watch as you walk - into some bar called The Black Dog - and pierce new holes in my heart” appear in the first verse of the song.

    The 34-year-old, who has four Album of the Year Grammy awards, sings of spotting an ex - who had forgotten to turn off his location-sharing - going into the venue.

    Swift inspired food!? Imagine how you’d feel if this was your local boozer? There seems to be something unseemly about uncouthly grasping for Swifties’ money.

    Back in the day the most you’d have is a subtle blue plaque. But, mostly you’d not even have that. No most of the time you’d just have an urban legend. A tale told by the local booze hounds, deep in their cups.
