Taylor Swift has released her eagerly anticipated new album Midnights, which includes an unexpected reference to a time she holidayed in Ireland.
Irish fans enjoying listening to her new music were doubting themselves after thinking they heard her mention Wicklow on a love song called Sweet Nothing.
It turns out they were correct as the international superstar recounts a romantic holiday to Ireland in the first verse.

She sings: “I spy with my little tired eye, Tiny as a firefly, A pebble that we picked up last July.
“Down deep inside your pocket, We almost forgot it, Does it ever miss Wicklow sometimes?”
Irish fans rushed to social media to react with many all saying they loved it.
“Taylor swift saying wicklow in sweet nothings is a win for irish people everywhere,” one person wrote.
Another said: “The reference to Wicklow in Sweet Nothing!!!! Love it”
A third commented: “taylor swift single-handedly saving the wicklow tourism industry and uniting ireland with sweet nothing.”
Someone else wrote: “the happiness when @taylorswift mentioned wicklow in her song. good day to be an irish swiftie #TSmidnighTS @taylornation13”.
Meanwhile others joked about the pebble in question.
“Deeply concerned for the wellbeing of our pebble that @taylorswift13 took hostage. Diplomatic efforts to repatriate back to Wicklow must begin in earnest,” one person said.
Another added: “Is Taylor Swift robbing stones from Wicklow? Bad form.”
Taylor Swift is no stranger to Ireland and has visited several times. She was spotted in Donegal and Belfast last year.
