NEW YORK (AP) — Taylor Swift, who has been teasing fans for weeks with clues about a new project to be announced Friday, hyped fans up when she visited a mural in Nashville on Thursday.

The pop star surprised a few hundred fans, posing with them in front of a mural she commissioned.

Swift thanked the artist who created the mural in an Instagram post on Thursday. She also thanked her fans for showing up, saying: “I’ve never been more proud of your FBI level detective skills.”

She added that the next clue would be her live interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts later in the day.
