Taylor Swift Fans Are Spiraling Over a Mysterious Instagram Countdown
Something appears to be coming. And by "something," I mean a new Taylor Swift Fans are convinced music is incoming thanks to several clues across social media, so in the interest of clowning, let's break it down. First up, Taylor Nation posted a listening party to Tay's self-titled album on July 18, with the event starting at 1 pm. This post seemingly kicked off a listening party countdown of sorts, with Taylor Nation posting one for Fearless on July 19 at 2:00 pm, then one for Speak Now on July 20 at 3:00 pm, and then one for Red on July 21 at 4 pm. In other words, they're posting one album at a time, one day apart, with listening parties one hour apart. It's clearly a countdown, BUT TO WHAT. Meanwhile, the caption to that ^ first post includes "Everything we need is finally right here by our side," which is a reference to Taylor's 12th song on the album. Which could be a clue that her 12th album is dropping? More details here: Of course, there's also a chance that Taylor is dropping Taylor's Version of debut, which she told fans she re-recorded in a letter about buying back her masters. "I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now," she said, adding that Debut and Reputation "can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about. But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now." ANYWAY, guess we'll see what happens?
