Swift went on holiday to Co Wicklow in July 2021 with her former partner, British actor Joe Alwyn, who was filming Sally Rooney’s Conversations With Friends in Ireland that year. The romantic piece recalls a pebble she picked up from the beach and how she finds herself “running home to your sweet nothings”. Other connections include her links to the Northern Irish city of Derry. One of their six children, Mary, became Swift’s great-great-grandmother, according to the museum. The museum is running a Swift tour, which will end on Thursday, and says it will showcase her roots, with references to William Butler Yeats’ poems in her music.
