Alexander Skarsgård Playfully Addresses Taylor Swift 'Wildest Dreams' Inspiration Rumors

Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård recently addressed long-standing fan speculation that Taylor Swift's song "Wildest Dreams" was inspired by him. The song, released in 2015 from Swift's album 1989, is widely believed to reference a brief romance with a tall, handsome man, which fans have linked to Skarsgård following their meeting on the set of the 2014 film The Giver. During a playful interview on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, Skarsgård humorously deflected the rumors by joking that he wrote the lyrics himself and that the song could just as well be about Brad Pitt. While he neither confirmed nor denied the song's inspiration, he acknowledged the strength and enthusiasm of Swift’s fanbase, affectionately calling himself a "Swiftie." The actor's lighthearted approach has added charm to the ongoing mystery, and he expressed admiration for Swift and her fans without providing a definitive answer. Overall, Skarsgård's comments have kept the speculation alive while maintaining a warm and humorous tone.
