The relationship between Taylor Swift and Alexander Skarsgård has been a subject of curiosity ever since rumors began circulating in 2013. Although neither party confirmed any romance, their interactions and the release of Swift’s music video for “Wildest Dreams” only fueled the ongoing gossip.
Here is everything to know about their alleged relationship.
Exploring Alexander Skarsgård and Taylor Swift’s relationship
The relationship between Taylor Swift and Alexander Skarsgård has long been a subject of curiosity amongst fans, especially when it comes to Swift’s 2014 hit, “Wildest Dreams.” While the two never publicly dated, their brief interactions on the set of The Giver in 2013, followed by their appearance together in photos later that year, sparked a wave of speculation. The debate gained further traction with the release of the “Wildest Dreams” music video.
The video, which features Swift playing a brunette actress who has an affair with her co-star while filming in Africa, seemed to mirror the time she spent with Skarsgård on the set of The Giver in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2013. Fans immediately connected the dots, especially considering Swift wore a similar brunette wig in the video.
While neither Swift nor Skarsgård ever confirmed a romance, the chemistry between them during their time together on set fueled ongoing rumors. The speculation about their relationship was further heightened by the lyrics of Swift’s Wildest Dreams. It describes a tall, handsome, and irresistible man that many fans believe fits Skarsgård’s description. The actor’s 6’4″ frame and his portrayal of the iconic vampire Eric in True Blood aligned with Swift’s portrayal in the song.
Despite the growing fan theories, Swift has kept quiet about the true inspiration for Wildest Dreams, neither confirming nor denying Skarsgård’s involvement. However, the connection between the music video and the undeniable physical similarities between the two continue to lead fans to believe that their brief relationship might have inspired the song.
