The Taylor Swift–Argylle Conspiracy Theory Is (Mostly) Not True

glamour.com:

will read double and triple meanings into ev-er-y-thing Taylor Swift does or says or breathes near. It's mostly harmless fun, but one recent rumor has been so buzzy that it required an actual investigation.

And, weirdly enough, it turned out to be a little bit real.So, in case you're not terminally online, lemme explain: There's a new spy movie coming out featuring Dua Lipa and Henry Cavill called Argylle, and in the movie, there's an author of spy novels named Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard.

In real life, the movie is based on , written by a woman named Elly Conway, whom no one seems to have ever seen or met. And since the movie was made before the novel hit shelves (it's not that weird—the rights to buzzy manuscripts are often sold to studios before they get published), a rumor started that Elly Conway was, in fact, not a real person, and perhaps the pen name of someone who, for whatever reason, didn't want their name attached to the book.

Like, maybe…Taylor Swift?In the trailer for the movie, a cat that looks an awful lot like Swift's beloved feline Meredith is seen in a backpack carrier that is an awful lot like the one Swift uses in Miss Americana. (The above photo is actually Swift's other cat, Olivia.) .
