Why do people think Taylor Swift is author Elly Conway?

Taylor Swift is that you?… The film “Argylle” was released in theaters on February 1st.a spy story starring Elly Conway Henry Cavill and Dua Lipawhich also has a great cast consisting of Bryan Cranston, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, John Cena, Ariana DeBose and more.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the plot of the film revolves around Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard).a writer who lives at home and in the company of her kitten Alfie, write a story about secret spies. And all this without being able to imagine that the action would take place in real life.

The “Argylle” film was finally released in cinemas worldwide

Once Conway’s stories come to life, the author, who is also quite introverted, begins an adventure into the world of spies, accompanied by Aiden (Sam Rockwell)a spy who is allergic to cats and is the reason Alfie travels in a carrier backpack.

The film “Argylle” attracted the attention of millions of people thanks to the cast and plot. But also, e.g the mystery that surrounds the character of Elly Conwayan author who supposedly exists in real life and who Many believe it is Taylor Swift herself.

And many are curious about the identity of the author, Elly Conway.

But let’s go in parts: The character Bryce plays in the film apparently exists in real life. And Matthew Vaughn said he took inspiration for Argylle from the fourth book in the spy saga written by Elly Conway. The strange thing about it? That the other three previous books had never been published until then.

In October 2023 and while participating in the podcast “Happy, sad, confused” of actor Josh Horowitz said Vaughn The film Argylle was based on Conway’s book, which has not yet been published. However, the film crew received the manuscript of Book 4 from the New Yorker author.

Conway wrote the Argylle saga, but it was never published

“I read the book, they bought the manuscript of the book, and I met with (author Jason) Fuchs and we just came up with this.”. said the director. A little more than two months later (January 2024 to be precise), Penguin Publishing published the first book in the “Argylle” saga.

This brings us to the core point: All that is known is that Elly Conway wrote these spy novelswas born in New York City and, as of December 2023, only has an Instagram account where his face is not visible.

Nobody knows what the author looks like in real life and although Some of the major entertainment media outlets like The Hollywood Reporter (THR) have been looking for her In any interview, Elly Conway just doesn’t seem to want to be in the public eye.

The strange thing is that for the creation of “Argylle” THR said Apple paid $200 million to produce the film. How is it that an author who published a book just a month ago managed to get a million-dollar contract the first time around?

Many fans believe that Taylor Swift is the one behind Elly Conway

Trying to answer this question brings Taylor Swift into the picture. And many fans of the American singer They believe that “Argylle” contains numerous references to Taylor, which is why she is the author of the novel and I would just use the name Elly Conway as a pseudonym.

This is what Taylor Swift fans claim, for example Bryce Dallas Howard has all the singer’s aesthetic in the way she dresses and does her hair. In addition, the author of “Argylle” has Alfie, a Scottish Fold cat, the same breed as two of Taylor’s cats: Meredith Gray and Olivia Benson.

On the tape, Elly carries her cat in a backpack, especially like the one Swift shows in the documentary Miss Americana (2020). and Bryce herself said in an interview that there were many similarities her character shared with the “Karma is My Boyfriend” singer. (Yes, we know that’s not what the song is called).

Appearance on the Graham Norton Show, Howard also denied that Taylor Swift was involved in the film and he assured that it was just a great inspiration: “She is a cat lover. He has this awesome backpack with a cat that he runs around with. “He loves a good argyle sweater… That’s a bit like my personality.”explained the actress.

The real author of “Argylle” would be a British woman named Tammy Cohen

The truth is Others find it a bit difficult to believe the theory that Elly Conway is Taylor Swift. Firstly, because the artist has been very busy with her stadium tour in the last few months, “The Era Tour”, and second, because a Washington Post writer set out to find out the author’s identity.

Sophia Nguyen noted that in the thank you list for “Argylle” Conway thanks a man named Robert Massey, an astronomer from the United Kingdom. The journalist spoke to him and Massey revealed that he had been in contact with a writer who was working on a spy novel for Penguin publishers.

But in reality, Elly Conway would just be a fictional character

The strange thing is that The woman’s name was not Elly Conway, but Tammy Cohen. A British writer who also writes spy novels and that he has a connection to Matthew Vaughn through Stanley Tucci, an actor married to Felicity Blunt, Cohen’s publicist.

Furthermore, the cat we see in the film is the pet of the same British director and screenwriter (that is, it is not Taylor’s cat). So everything points to that In reality, the whole Elly Conway story is nothing more than a marketing strategy by Vaughn and the author does not exist.

Of course, this has not been denied or confirmed by anyone involved in “Argylle.” Of course, although Matthew and Co. have repeated ad nauseum that Taylor has nothing to do with the filmThey take advantage of fans’ curiosity.

At the premiere, which took place in London, Universal UK and the film itself reported They uploaded a few posts featuring the cast of the film. The lyrics they used included references to some of Taylor Swift’s songs and they looked like this:

So yeah, apparently Tay Tay has nothing to do with this movie. Although in truth one can expect everything from the singer who, one way or another, takes the time to realize several projects at the same time. Or will we soon find out the identity of Elly Conway?
