A bartender serving Taylor Swift during her dinner date with Selena Gomez earlier this week paid a special nod to the pop superstar’s ex Joe Alwyn.
Wyatt, who works at Negroni Caffe Bar in Beverly Hills, Calif., shared via his Instagram Story Thursday that he gave Swift, 35, a cocktail called “London Boy” and she “approved.”
“I can’t believe I got to serve The London Boy to #taylorswift herself!” the bartender added in a separate post on Instagram alongside a photo of the drink, which featured a pretty flower on top of it.
“Life is such an amazing experience. Halsey once said, ‘Don’t meet your hero’s [sic], they’re all f–king weirdos.’ But she was wrong. I got to meet my idol and she was as kind as she is stunning!”
A detail from Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift’s recent girls’ night out had a special nod to the latter’s ex Joe Alwyn. Instagram/Selena Gomez A bartender served Swift a drink called “London Boy,” which is also the name of a song believed to be about Alwyn. Instagram/@chotic_wyatt_ The bartender also shared via his Instagram Story (above) that Swift “approved” of the drink. Instagram/@chotic_wyatt_“London Boy” is also the name of a track Swift released off her 2019 studio album, “Lover.”
According to Billboard, Swifties have always thought the song is about Alwyn, 33, because he was raised in the English city and the lyrics appear to describe the former couple’s romance.
“I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon / He likes my American smile / Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you / Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates,” Swift writes.
Swift and Alwyn dated from 2016 to 2023. NBCU Photo Bank Swift released “London Boy” in 2019 and fans thought it described the former couple’s relationship. Edward Opi / SplashNews.com Swift has not confirmed whether the song is about her ex of six years. GC ImagesThe “Lover” songstress was also dating the “Brutalist” star at the time the song came out. They started dating in 2016 and called it quits in 2023.
However, as other fans have pointed out, Swift has dated other British celebs, including Harry Styles and Tom Hiddleston, so there is a chance that the track could be about one of them instead.
The possible reference to Alwyn did not deter Swift — who has moved on with NFL star Travis Kelce — or Gomez, 32, from having a good time Tuesday night.
Swift got together with Swift “just the two of them” on Tuesday night and were “giggly” with each other, a restaurant spokesperson previously told Page Six.

“My co-worker just recently moved to LA and Selena had a really great conversation with him about how his experience is here,” the restaurant rep said.
