Swift was promoting her new single, an orchestral version of The Lakes, released on Saturday to commemorate the first anniversary of her latest album, Folklore.

The song was written and produced by Swift and her boyfriend, English actor Joe Alwyn.

They have been together since 2016 and he helped write several songs on Folklore and its sister record Evermore under the pseudonym William Bowery.

Alwyn is starring in the TV adaptation of Irish author Sally Rooney's debut novel, Conversations with Friends.

The TV show was filming in Belfast during May this year, sparking speculation that the couple were later travelling together in the north of Ireland.
