Taylor Swift reportedly jetted to the UK last week from across the pond to film a new music video following claims she has split from long-term beau Joe Alwyn.
The singer, 33, flew to Liverpool and shot scenes at Scouse land-marks St George’s Hall and the Cunard Building.
The Sun reports she was inspired by the 2022 film The Batman starring Robert Pattinson which also features the same buildings.
Joey King is also allegedly starring the music video, after already appearing in the 2010 video for Taylor’s hit son Mean, as a child,
A source told the publication: ‘Taylor loves the history of the landmarks and was excited to film somewhere completely different and unexpected.

‘She had a break in her touring schedule so decided to use the time to get another video in the bag. She’s feeling more creative and inspired than ever.
‘Her shoot was an incredibly slick operation, with little fuss. Staff on site were politely asked not to have their phones on them and to sign non-disclosure agreements.’
It comes after sources close to the couple revealed that Taylor and longtime boyfriend Joe have split after six years.
ET claims that the Lavender Haze songstress – who is current on tour – and the UK actor allegedly had an amicable split that was ‘not dramatic.’
‘The relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows,’ the insider added, with Page Six claiming that the pair broke up ‘a few weeks ago.’
It comes as there had been conflicting reports just weeks ago where a source said everything was ‘fine’ between them, according to PEOPLE.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Swift’s representatives for comment.

Just two weeks ago, a source gave a glimmer of false hope to PEOPLE : ‘Joe will travel with her [on tour] when he can. They are great together. Joe is super supportive of her career.’
Swift and Alwyn have been romantically linked since 2016 and the hitmaker has frequently voiced her feelings for the British hunk, 32, in her songs over the years.
The relationship came soon after Taylor’s headline-making fling with Loki actor, Tom Hiddleston.
Taylor and Joe are notoriously tight lipped when it comes to their relationship and they’ve made an effort to keep it out of the spotlight.
In an interview with Vogue back in 2018, Joe acknowledged the public’s curiosity surrounding his romance with the Grammy Award-winner.
He also praised the pair’s dedication to privacy.
‘I’m aware people want to know about that side of things. I think we have been successfully very private, and that has now sunk in for people,’ he said.
Despite being together for years, Taylor and Joe have never made their red carpet debut as a couple.

Joe has co-written music with Taylor under the pen name, William Bowery, on her past three albums: Folklore, Evermore and Midnights.
Last year, Taylor seemingly shutdown engagement rumors in the lyrics of the track ‘Lavender Haze’ which opens her 10th studio album Midnights.
It appeared to be a direct hit at a July 2022 report that Taylor had been engaged to her boyfriend for a ‘few months.’
In Lavender Haze she sings: ‘All they keep asking me/ Is if I’m gonna be your bride/ The only kinda girl they see/ Is a one night or a wife.’
She then appeared to hit back at the outdated line of questioning: ‘I’m damned if I do give a damn what people say/ The 1950s s*** they want from me.’
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal last year, Joe also hit back at the persistent engagement rumors, declaring that he would never confirm or deny any marriage speculation.
He quipped, ‘If I had a pound for every time I think I’ve been told I’ve been engaged, then I’d have a lot of pound coins.
‘I mean, the truth is, if the answer was yes, I wouldn’t say, and if the answer was no, I wouldn’t say.’

On the same album of Lavender Haze, Taylor detailed their love on a track named Sweet Nothing, and even enlisted his help as a co-writer.
In Sweet Nothing’s, she sings: ‘I found myself running home to your sweet nothings, I’ll take their pushing, shoving. You’re in the kitchen humming, all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing.
She implies that whilst everyone else wants something from her, Joe is the one person who has remained genuine and true.
She also appears to reference her love on Snow on the Beach – which features Lana Del Rey – crooning: ‘Now I’m all for you like Janet/ Can this be a real thing/ Can it?’ in reference to Janet Jackson’s hit, All for You.
Kicking off her record-breaking Eras tour last month in Glendale, Arizona, Taylor declared to 70,000 fans that she loves teaching ‘men how to apologize.’
The superstar opened up about ‘recurring themes’ in her music as she candidly spoke to State Farm Stadium with a guitar in her arms.
‘So, sort of a recurring theme in my music is that I love to explain to men how to apologize. I just love it,’ said the 12-time Grammy winner, per footage posted to Twitter.
‘It’s kind of my thing,’ added Taylor. ‘I love to tell them step-by-step, “Here’s how simple this is to fix things if you just follow these easy steps that I’m laying out for you in a three-minute song.” I just love the idea of men apologizing.’
Taylor recently declared that she loves teaching ‘men how to apologize’ when she performed to 70,000 fans last month, kicking off her record-breaking Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona

The U.S. leg of Taylor’s sixth headlining tour will be taking the country by storm for the next five months, concluding with a slate of Los Angeles concerts in August.
The massive launch comes after Ticketmaster’s catastrophic pre-sale debacle, which left pre-verified fans waiting in a virtual line for hours and others unable to purchase tickets at all.
The organization finally apologized to Swift and her fans, citing bot attacks and massive demand as the culprits.
Fortunately, Swift still had reason to celebrate last month after she made history at the Grammys yet again, winning Best Music Video for her romantic drama, All Too Well: The Short Film – making her the first person to win the category with a sole directing credit for their own music video.
