TAYLOR Swift and her British actor lover
Joe Alwyn are getting serious. She’s now
looking to spend up to $30 million on a new
London love nest for the pair, Page Six is exclu-
sively told. On Friday, Swift, 29, released a new
song titled “Lover,” which has been described
as a gushing love letter to handsome Alwyn,
28, and their three-year romance.
A source close to the singer told Page Six:
“Taylor is looking for a grand home in London
with two kitchens, so she and Joe can live in
privacy and entertain properly. They’ve been
splitting their time between [his native] Lon-
don and [her home in] Nashville — and she
keeps sending her jet for him so they can be to-gether. She has three private jets and even her
own hanger.” The source added of Swift bliss-
fully turning her back on her tumultuous past
love life, “This is just another sign of how close
they are. She’s the happiest she’s ever been.”
Alwyn, who comes from a middle-class fam-
ily in Crouch End, North London, starred in the
film “The Favourite.” He and Swift have been
spending more time in England and were re-
cently spotted cozying up at the Spaniards Inn
pub, on the edge of posh Hampstead Heath.
“Lover” features wedding vow-style lyrics,
such as, “Ladies and gentlemen / Will you
please stand / With every guitar string scar on
my hand / I take this magnetic force of a man /To be my lover.” She sings, “I’ve loved you
three summers now, honey... My heart’s been
borrowed / And yours has been blue / All’s
well that ends well / To end up with you.”
It’s not the first time Swift has bought a
home to be closer to a boyfriend. In August
2012, she purchased a colossal $4.9 million
seven-bedroom oceanfront mansion in Cape
Cod next to the Kennedy compound where
her then-love interest Conor Kennedy sum-
mers with his family. But they had only been
dating for two months and broke up that Octo-
ber. She put the place on the market and sold it
for a heart-healing profit at $5.7 million.
Her rep didn’t get back to us.BIG B’way names gathered Fri-
day at Sardi’s for a private reading
of a new original musical by Barry
Manilow and Bruce Sussman.
We’re told Jarrod Spector, Rob
McClure, Reeve Carney, Nicho-
las Barasch, John Behlmann,
Kate Baldwin and Jessie Muel-
ler joined director Warren Car-
lyle for a reading of “Harmony.”
Manilow played his demos, while
Sussman read stage directions.
The show, which has had runs in
Atlanta and LA, tells the true story
of the Comedian Harmonists, a
group of men who came together
in 1920s Germany and “took the
world by storm.” It starts Feb. 11 at
the Museum of Jewish Heritage.In ‘Harmony’
HAMPTONS surfers were
stunned when Southampton po-
lice began enforcing a forgotten
40-year-old regulation that bans
surfing at popular beaches. Those
who have enjoyed the surf for
years — including Coldplay’s
Chris Martin (above) — were
told they’d get a $1,000 fine if they
defied the ban, in place until Sept.- Martin has often been spotted
surfing in the area alone and with
his kids. He was also seen Friday
at Surf Lodge in Montauk with
girlfriend Dakota Johnson.
No surf for you!
THAT nightlife guru Noah Tep-
perberg’s Moxy East Village will
host special venues for Fashion
Week, including Cathédrale, a
French-Mediterranean eatery by chef
Jason Hall, and Little Sister, a lounge
hosted by legendary doorman Wass
Stevens... THAT Sasha Obama
showed up to Martha’s Vineyard’s Af-
rican-American Film Festival.WE reported that supposed ce-
leb-friendly sex club Snctm was
sold by founder Damon Lawner
to a secretive group called “the
Circle.” Now we’re told the new
owners have hit the ground, ahem,
rubbing, and they’ve announced
their first frisky fête for next week-
end in LA. “Join us as we tap into
an ancient tradition of magick [sic]
and ritual,” says the invitation.
“Our most alluring Devotees will
guide us as we pursue the esoteric
Secrets of carnal bliss.” Mean-
while, between the curiously vow-
el-free rendering of Sanctum, the
chance capital letters and the ran-
dom “k” on the end of magic, we
wonder if this bunch are having so
much “carnal bliss” that it’s affect-
ing their ability to see straight.Spanking new
WHERE is Twitter CEO Jack
Dorsey’s girlfriend Raven Lyn
Corneil living? The tech mogul is
unloading the contemporary man-
sion he bought for her in LA.
Dorsey has just put his Hollywood
Hills home near Mulholland Drive
on the market for $4.495 million.
Dorsey (above) bought the modern
pad, which features a floating stair-
case and won a 2017 architectural
award, a year ago for Sports Illus-
trated beauty Corneil at a cost of
$4.2 million. A Variety report reads,
“It would appear Corneil is long
gone from the premises.” The home
features views of the San Fernando
Valley and has a spa and pool.
Dorsey’s primary residence is in
San Francisco, where he owns two
neighboring homes in the breezy
Sea Cliff neighborhood.Real estate unfollow
STUNNING new film “Aquarela” is being de-
scribed as “the most dangerous documentary ever
made,” and not without reason. A brave crew
headed by Victor Kossakovsky endured a
fierce Atlantic storm, the full force of Hurri-
cane Irma and shifting ice in Siberia to shoot
the film, a beautiful and haunting piece about
the power of water. Director Kossakovsky’s crew
arrived in Greenland to film glaciers and icebergs
up close, but no ship would take them near for fear
of crashing ice tsunamis. By chance, the filmmaker
spotted two sailors on a 100-foot schooner who helped them reach per-
ilous proximity. Upping the risk, he then persuaded the sailors to take
his crew — none of whom had sailed before — across the Atlantic,
where they faced 30-foot waves, 40-knot winds and the worst storm in
100 years. Kossakovsky explained at a Cinema Society screening,
“There is a saying: The first week of a storm, you think you are going
to die. The second week, you want to die. But the third week, you real-
ize you will not die and you have to fight. We had to be close to the wa-
ter to get the shots... we are grateful to be alive.” The feat of fast-
frame-cinema was released by Sony Pictures Classics on Friday.Swift seeks a London pad
