London, Nov 17 : Taylor Swift is once again returning to a city she has immortalised in her music London. The global superstar is reportedly set to fly to the British capital next week to film the music video for her track ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ from The Life Of A Showgirl, drawing direct inspiration from the Hollywood legend herself.
According to reports, the 35 year old singer wants the video to honour the early life of Elizabeth Taylor, who spent her childhood in London before rising to become one of cinema’s most enduring icons. A source told The Sun that Swift is “super excited” to revisit the city and shoot at locations connected to the late actress. The video will reportedly “capture different locations around the city,” celebrating Swift’s long-standing affection for London.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in Hampstead in 1932, and her childhood home now marked with a blue plaque remains a notable landmark. She lived there until age seven, when her family moved to Los Angeles, a shift that paved the way for her Hollywood journey. Swift’s decision to film in London serves as a heartfelt tribute to those formative years.
The bond between the two Taylors has grown in unexpected ways. Swift previously revealed that she felt deeply honoured after Elizabeth Taylor’s son, Chris Wilding, publicly compared her to his mother.
In a TikTok video, Swift said, “My parents sent me this clip of Elizabeth Taylor’s son saying something very flattering… that if there were one person he might compare to his mother in the modern day, in terms of persona and the chaos around us, he said it would be me. I was so flattered by that.”
That compliment helped spark the inspiration behind the song. Swift has also been crafting the visual world of the track with encouragement from her fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce, who friends say has been one of her strongest supporters throughout the project.
