Taylor Swift has namechecked the cult Scottish indie band The Blue Nile on a track on her huge new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.On the album’s ninth track ‘Guilty As Sin?’, Swift sings: “Drowning in The Blue Nile / He sent me Downtown Lights / I hadn’t heard it in a while / My boredom’s bone deep / This cage was once just fine / Am I allowed to cry?”‘The Downtown Lights’ was the band’s biggest song, reaching the Top Ten on the American Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1989, famously also the year that Swift was born.Listen to the two tracks in question below:Aside from having similar themes to Swift’s new album – navigating difficult relationships, the aftermath of heartbreak – the reference to the song also appears to be another nod to The 1975’s Matty Healy, with whom Taylor was romantically linked for a short period of time in 2023.Healy once told Vulture that The Blue Nile were his “favourite band of all time”, and he has named ‘Hats’, from which ‘The Downtown Lights’ is taken, as his favourite album of the ‘80s.
