As it turns out, the naysayers were the fools.
I mean, this warlock hasan album calledRed, and the title track is basically about synesthesia.
Even her recentTimeandElleU.K.covers fit her Instagrams color story.
But also, that screaming color reference is from1989 so maybe the album will be pure pop!
Im even more excited for the next chapter, she said maybe the first public hint at TS7.
Swift is like a mad pop-star scientist everything is a cipher and all of these images are connected somehow.
(Shes even startedwearing clotheswith similar imagery, some of whichlook a whole lot like unreleased merch.)
If you look at the ground in the businesswomen photo, it matches the rainbow cobblestones in the other.
Also, the studded heart seems to be juxtaposed against the ruched tutu fabric.
All of these pictures clearly exist in the same Taylor Swift cinematic universe.
It has to be a music video, right?
Or is it something bigger, like a documentary?
Regardless, what would the video or documentary beabout?!
[Scampers across the room to my other Carrie Mathison pinboard.]
The theory is that Swift has been dropping hints about her love for Karlie Kloss since theReputationera.
That collage-image theme is bleeding into this new album cycle, too weve seen itused againinphotosfrom herElleU.K.
Swift loves a puzzle, and these images actually look like puzzle pieces.
She wants us to solve the Kaylor puzzle, you guys.
looks like i have to everything around here…pic.twitter.com/GdZFy3HuCU
But Swift also loves hiding things in plain sight.
Opal and pink tourmaline (depicted inthisApril 13 Instagram) are also the birthstones of October.
I thought opals were so beautiful, and somehow it made me feel better.
We never bought them, just looked.
So, the opal rings might be symbolic of feeling better.
Maybe, in Swifts mind, shes healing from thepublic beating shes taken over the last few years.
(TheReputationera was very transparently about overcoming that backlash.)
Now, the wounds have been stitched up, and shes stable and happy with herself again.
The Numbers
April 13 was not the first time Swift whispered about a 4.26 announcement.

But wait, theres more.
Tell me Taylor Swift isnt a genius.

On January 1, Swifts official fan clubtweeted115 rainbow emojis, captioned another 2019 big mood.
The rainbows pointed to her new aesthetic pastels,butterflies, sunshine, glittery hearts.
But also, on January 1, there were 115 days until April 26.
[Pulls down ceiling chain on attic door leading to another room of deranged pinboards.]
Sure enough, April 13 was the day the countdown was announced.
My guess is that each stamp marks another single release or even music videos.
This shit goes deep.
April 13 isNational Scrabble Day.
And on February 24, sheposteda mysterious photo of seven palm trees and 61 stars.
Again, seven = TS7.
And, you guys, there are 61 days between February 24 and April 26.
Do you see?Do you see???
[A gust of wind blusters through an open window and blows my papers all over the attic.]
NO!!!!
MY RESEARCH!!!!
If you got all the way through this without thinking,Ugh, her mind, then grow up.
