The Black Dog pub in Vauxhall has hired extra security staff since becoming overrun by fans after it was referenced on Swift 's new album The Tortured Poets Department.

Staff at the south London pub which Taylor Swift named one of her new songs after have been trawling through old CCTV footage to figure out when the pop sensation may have visited.

The caption reads: 'You work at The Black Dog and are trying desperately to figure out if it was Matty or Joe'.A video posted to their TikTok page shows a member of staff looking through old security camera footage in a desperate bid to find out which one of her British ex-boyfriends Swift visited with

In her song The Black Dog, fans speculate that Swift is singing about the pub being somewhere she frequented with one of her ex-boyfriends and how heartbroken she was to find out he had gone there without her after they split.In an interview with The Guardian Lily Bottomley, a manager for SC Soho, the small hospitality group that owns the Black Dog, said: 'We’ve been looking at past security footage .We haven’t found anything but you never know.

But they are struggling to keep up with demand and have had to open bookings months in advance to deal with customers making a pilgrimage to the beerhouse according to The Times. Taylor Swift fans Jordan Ludwig , 20, Kylee Ludwig , 20, and Katelyn Anziano , 20, outside the Black Dog'Swifties' initially speculated that The Black Dog - Track 17 on the album - was a metaphor for depression

Jordan was particularly excited to visit The Black Dog and said she had already fallen in love with the new album. The Bolter Pub reference isn't as explicit as the one relating to The Black Dog, but it's still a track title - and fans have noticed 'But we're thinking we might get some more customers here around the time when Taylor's tour comes to London, so that would be good.'Amy Cowley, 41, the pub's marketing consultant, said: 'We are running a deal for anyone who comes in and quotes a lyric from Taylor's song. The first 100 through the door will get a free"Swift Half" of Black Dog lager.

Dan Block, the pub's site manager, said: 'We've had people in here asking if Taylor Swift has been in here. People have asked which table she sat at - who she was with.
