In case you've missed it, there's been a growing theory online that Taylor Swift could actually be the mysterious author behind the source material for upcoming spy film Argylle.

There's all sorts of evidence for this, from certain moments in Swift's "All Too Well" that connect with the movie to the fact Argylle's author – Elly Conway – doesn't appear to have a real online identity. Appearing on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, however, Argylle star Bryce Dallas Howard took a moment to debunk the rumours.

"[Director Matthew Vaughn] must have been subconsciously influenced in some way, shape or form, but he had no idea of this rumour until his daughter ran into his room and was like, 'Why didn't you tell me that Taylor Swift wrote Argylle?' says Howard. "The Swifties are such an incredibly supportive community – amazing, amazing, amazing – and it got to the point where I was reading these things and I was like, 'Matthew, you haven't told me the whole truth, man.'"

So, is Matthew Vaughn very good at keeping secrets, or is it all really just a rumour? At this point we may need the real Elly Conway to step forward to clear things up.
