Taylor Swift has today released her highly anticipated new album 'Lover' and by all means its another top-notch edition to her discography.
However, one particular lyric in the song 'London Boy,' presumably about her British boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, has raised a few eyebrows. During the chorus the pop starlet sings:
I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon.
While she also nods to different locations in the English capital like Highgate, Brixton, Hackney and Bond Street this reference to Camden's infamous market has caused some debate on Twitter.
