Taylor Swift has dedicated a song on her new album to the Lake District.
Yes, the Lake District in the UK - home to enticing countryside, leg-stretching walks and beautiful spots like Windermere
The track called The Lakes is a bonus song on her new album Folklore.
Some of the lyrics include: "Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die," and, "Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry."
Taylor visited Cumbria and the Lake District back in 2012 when she was dating fellow pop-superstar Harry Styles.
The song also features a reference to one of the area's famous 19th Century poets, William Wordsworth: "I've come too far to watch some name-dropping sleaze / Tell me what are my words worth."
The Lake District is England's biggest National Park and is protected as a Unesco World Heritage site.
