Lewis Capaldi's inspiration
Singer Lewis Capaldi's hit song Someone You Loved is reportedly inspired by former college flame Paige Turley.
It turns out she was also a contestant on Britain's Got Talent when she was 14.
'Lewis was gutted. He really loved her.'
Friends of the hit-maker tell The Sun that they dated for about a year in college.
'She’s the girl. The song and his album is clearly inspired by love and he loved her — he really did.'
'Paige dated Lewis while they were both at college from around 2014 to 2016.'
'They were on and off and together just over a year.'
'It’s funny that his songs now mean so much to so many. But the real story behind it is boy meets girl.'
'She must be thrilled she helped inspire such beautiful music.'
According to the outlet, Lewis previously referenced a former flame as the inspiration for his music.
'I met a lady. She was very nice. I loved her. I loved the look of her and I loved how she spoke.'
