It seems like Hollywood stars just can't get enough of Belfast right now!

As lockdown restrictions ease across Northern Ireland, upcoming TV/film projects all seem to be back up and running now.

We've got Bridgerton's RegƩ-Jean Page and Hugh Grant filming Dungeons and Dragons along the north coast.

Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron stars taking over St Anne's Cathedral in The School for Good and Evil.

So why might Taylor Swift visit Belfast?

Well Taylor Swift is believed to be here to support her actor boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who is starring in the next Sally Rooney adaptation 'Conversations with Friends.'

A TikTok video by local TV Producer Aaron Nelson has gone viral on social media, as he teases an upcoming secret project. But what's that music we hear in the background....are we just supposed to 'shake it off?'

He says: "Taylor Swift is in Northern Ireland and I am in Northern Ireland to film a TV programme. What does this mean? Maybe it doesn't mean anything, or maybe it means something. TikTok, I'll let you decide."

Check out some of the other Hollywood A-listers spotted recently:

The cast of Conversations with Friends

Following the success of Sally Rooney's Normal People in 2020, her debut novel Conversations with Friends is also being produced for the screen. A number of actors have now been cast for Conversations With Friends, including Sasha Blane and Taylor Swift's boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Could we spot Taylor on the cobbled Cathedral Quarter some time soon...fingers crossed! The cast are also filming in Carrickfergus at the minute, this time in a church. There must be something in the water there!
