“It’s so fun to be a fan of a pop version of the Zodiac Killer,” wrote one Swiftie called Lacey in Xa few hours before the official announcement of the new album, made at 12:12 am (east US) on Tuesday.
The excitement I feel when the enigmatic tracks begin to take shape. No one does like Taylor!
The announcement of the album left some fans with the feeling that they could raise a car with one hand or, alone, speed up the passage of time. They don’t even know how long it is missing until Swift Launch the disc, or don’t even reveal the first single. “An announcement from Taylor Swift followed by 48 hours of waiting for the cover and the release date should actually be considered a form of psychological torture, ”said the Swiftie JOSEFINA NO X.
Analyzing the content of Swift of recent years, fans have noticed references to the era Showgirl Since 2022, when she launched Midnights. “With The Life of a Show GirlI am revisiting the narrative of ‘Bejeweled ‘. Remember that Tay It’s a showgirl throughout the clip, that’s how she can win. All in the elevator and tower she climbs is in the 1920s Art Deco style, and the showgirls of that time ”, shared another user of XGaby. Others pointed out that, in the elevator scene in “Bejeweled “the buttons for the 2nd and 10th floors are orange, another reference to number 12.

More tracks were apparently hidden in the ERAS TOUR. In the video of “I can do it with a broken Heart”captured during the tour, the fans realized that Swift He rehearsed with wings of orange burlesque features. Some Swifties They took it a little further. “Swifties, I just noticed another insane easter easter,” published an account called JB no X. “‘Applause’from Lady Gaga (which played in the pre-show of every night of the ERAS TOUR) It was released on August 12. ”The song also turns 12 today, but it can certainly be just a ironic coincidence.
You Swifties They are also plunging into color theory (something very typical of them). “I loved who talked about the oxidation of copper with the color scheme,” wrote a fan called Joy. “Inevitable degradation and unwanted changes in the appearance that come with the aging of a woman under the spotlight…” The original post, which has already become viral, was made by a fan named Kaitlyn. “The color scheme is copper oxidizing because a showgirl is in a pedestal to the world and, over time,” she said, “in the eyes of the public, she loses her shine … The wear of the world’s misogyny.”
Fans also pointed to parallels with fictitious characters that were “showgirls” in their universes, as Lucy Gray Baird in Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakesor Carrie Bradshaw when you find out that Big It’s moving to Paris.
