Taylor Swift's eagerly anticipated new album, Midnights is now out with a reference to Wicklow gaining more than a little traction in Ireland from her many Irish 'Swifties.'
The 32-year-old US pop star recalls a holiday she and her beau Joe took to a Wicklow beach.
She spent some time in Ireland while Joe was filming the Sally Rooney series, as they were shooting mostly in Belfast and Dublin.

The penultimate track, Sweet Nothing, is co-written by Swift and William Bowery, the pseudonym of Alwyn, and describes a holiday to Co Wicklow in July 2021.
In the very first verse of the song, Taylor sings: "I spy with my little tired eye, tiny as a firefly, a pebble, that we picked up last July.
"Down deep inside your pocket, we almost forgot it, does it ever miss Wicklow sometimes?"
Midnights is a wild ride of an album and I couldn’t be happier that my co pilot on this adventure was @jackantonoff. He’s my friend for life (presumptuous I know but I stand by it) and we’ve been making music together for nearly a decade HOWEVER…https://t.co/jjqUNkGSme pic.twitter.com/v7LboJJ9Ik
