Novel Argyll was released on January 9 with a pseudonymous author, going by the name “Ellie Conway”, and focuses on a detective novelist who finds herself (and her Scottish Fold, Alfie, whom she carries) carrying an argyle-print cat backpack. Takes her in) and finds herself trapped in it. In an international conspiracy, involving hostile spies, assassinations, and lots of mayhem. Since Swift has a long history of wearing argyle sweaters, she even sells a ‘Red (Taylor’s Version) Argyle Sweater’ on her website for $65; There are two Scottish Folds named (after) Meredith Gray and Olivia Benson. gray’s anatomy And Law & Order: SVU characters, respectively); Olivia Benson carried around a cat backpack similar to the one shown in the movie Argyll In his 2020 documentary miss americana, Conway is played in the film by Bryce Dallas Howard, who has red hair – just like the red-headed writer featured in Swift’s acclaimed short film all too well, And given there is no Internet history of any author named “Elle Conway”, Swifties speculated that “Elle Conway” was none other than Swift.

Well, Rolling stone Went straight to the source: Argyll Director Matthew Vaughn, who says that regrettably, the rumors are not true.

“I’m not a huge fan of the Internet, and actually my daughter came to me — that’s the power of celebrity and the Internet — and said, ‘You never told me Taylor wrote a book!’” Vaughn recalled. “And I see her going, ‘What are you talking about a book written by Taylor Swift? She didn’t write the book!’ And I was laughing because I was like, ‘That’s not true! He didn’t write the book!’ but it was my daughter convincing Its.”

and Vaughn, the filmmaker behind layer cake, kick ass, X-Men: First ClassAnd this kingsman Films, adamant that there is a real Elle Conway.

“There’s a real book… and it’s a really good book. and there Is Elle Conway who wrote the book, but it’s not Taylor Swift,” he says. “And I’m saying that because I think Taylor Swift has a lot of people left, right and center who are on her bandwagon. Trying to jump in, and I don’t want to be a part of that club. I read the conspiracies and I thought, Wow, they leave no stone unturned! But this isn’t Taylor Swift. She definitely didn’t write the book.”

However, Swift is responsible for the Scottish Fold featured in the film ArgyllBecause after Vaughn’s daughters saw the cat, he convinced his wife (and her mother), supermodel Claudia Schiffer, to buy them for Christmas. miss americana, And this is Vaughan’s Scottish Fold, Chip, who features in the blockbuster film.

“The irony is that he is responsible for the Scottish Fold,” explains Vaughan. “I got home one day, it was Christmas, and I thought, ‘What the hell is that noise?’ And I’m running around the house and I hear a noise, and the kids watched a Taylor Swift documentary [Miss Americana] And there was a Scottish Fold in it, and they convinced my wife Claudia [Schiffer], to get them a kitten for Christmas. It was purchased without my permission and was hidden from me.

He adds, “As crazy as it sounds, it is our Only The Taylor Swift connection.”

As for how Chip got the role of Alfie, it turns out he’s the original cat they cast Argyll The work was not getting done, so they hired him.

“That wasn’t by design; This was virtually the default, says Vaughn. “That first day of filming with the cat we had — this actor cat — wasn’t really working, and I literally went into my daughter’s bedroom, because the cat sleeps with her, and I said, ‘Look, I’m going to borrow the cat.’ And she said, ‘Okay.’ I don’t think he realized it for three months. It was weird because he went to work with me every morning, sharing my trailer. But he was great. And he seemed to enjoy it too . He was a natural. Nepo the cat.”
