LONDON (AP) — Taylor Swift fans enjoy parsing the singer-songwriter’s lyrics for references to her romantic life and insights into her state of her mind.

The record’s fifth track is titled “So Long, London.” As Swift brought her Eras Tour to the city this weekend, some fans wonder if it’s the beginning of an extended goodbye. London is showing the love, with murals and tributes to Swift near Wembley Stadium. Among the 88,000 people in attendance for Friday’s first show — Prince William and two of his children.
