Argylle, has denied the theory that Taylor Swift is responsible for the book on which the movie is based.On January 9, a novel titled Argylle was released, written by a pseudonymous author going by the name Elly Conway.

The book involves a spy novelist who gets roped into the world of espionage, assassins and feuds, all accompanied by her cat, Alfie.The book has been adapted into a movie with an ensemble cast, featuring Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L.

Jackson, and Bryce Dallas Howard in the role of Elly.But some fans of Swift have been theorising that the mysterious novel was written by the US singer.

The theory is based on Swift’s history of wearing argyle sweaters, her beloved cats of the same breed as Elly’s, among other common details.Perhaps the most obvious connection is the cat backpack featured in the Argylle trailer, which is similar to the one worn by Swift in the 2020 documentary, Miss Americana, as the international star transports her pets around the world with her.But Vaughn, who also wrote, directed and produced the Kingsman franchise, has denied the conspiracy theory, and Swift’s involvement in the project.Speaking to Rolling Stone he said: “I’m not a big internet guy, and it was actually my daughter who came up to me — this is the power of celebrity and the internet — and said, ‘You never told me Taylor wrote the book!’”And I’m looking at her going, ‘What are you talking about Taylor Swift wrote the book?
