Taylor Swift might have dedicated a song on her new album Lover to her boyfriend Joe Alywn - but it features a voiceover from a very unexpected guest.

Swift’s Cats co-star Elba{ =nofollow}introduces the track, saying ‘we can go driving in on my scooter’.

In London Boy - which gives gives fans a glimpse into her relationship with The Favourite star Alwyn - Swift tells us ‘So I guess/ The rumours are true/ You know I love a London boy’ before going on to mention Camden Market, Hampstead Heath, Hackney and Bond Street.

She also sings about going to the pub with Joe’s friends and name drops her Stella McCartney fashion collaboration.

Idris’ extract is taken from a chat on The Late Late Show with James Corden, where the actor is discussing how he helped raise $750,000 for charity by auctioning off a Valentine's date.

These appearances are far from the first moves in music that the star has made this year; he also featured on Wiley’s Boasty remix, DJd at Coachella, released his Yardie Mixtape and featured in Stormzy's Vossi Bop music video.

Swift and Alwyn are believed to have been dating since 2016. Dress, from her 2017 album Reputation, hints that the pair were introduced at the 2016 Met Gala, as she described her ‘hair bleached’ and his ‘buzz cut’.
