Taylor Swift fever has officially taken over the UK as her Eras world tour finally brings her over the pond. A host of A-listers have been spotted in the audience, including Tom Cruise, Nicola Coughlan , Mila Kunis, and Ashton Kutcher. However, the most famous of all has to be the future King of England – Prince William – who put in lively appearances at Wembley Stadium.
Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday by taking his children, Prince George , 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine, to the first leg of Taylor Swift's Eras tour in London this weekend. Swift was thrilled with her Royal guests, sharing a selfie of the group, including her boyfriend Travis Kelce and herself, with the caption: "Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start." However, this cheerful message has left some puzzled, questioning if "M8" is some sort of Royal code.
One person asked: "What does M8 mean? I thought that it was a motorway?" Another user penned: "guys am i dumb what does M8 mean and who's bday is it?" While a third user questioned: "What does 'M8' mean? I feel like I am the only one who does not know what it means." Luckily, people were on hand to explain that in reality, there's no hidden meaning - it's simply text slang for the friendly term "mate". Lots of people replied to the confused users, "M8 - mate".
Swift and William have been acquainted for years, having shared the stage at a charity event at Kensington Palace in 2013. This unexpected collaboration saw the then-Du.
