Throwing my two cents in here: I think the 0s imply a release of her pre-Debut tracks from her Sony days; she talked in her NYT interview about how she begged Sony to save her songs so that she could record them. So, a double album: release of Debut re-record + the expected vault + B sides of her Sony (pre-2005) songs. I'll be really disappointed if its just more Showgirl.

I saw the usernames "Taylor Nation" and "Taylor Swift" recently browsing earlier... That might be too obvious?

ugh sometimes i forget how annoying the internet is

pics or it didn't happen

This whole thing where I have to stay in line to maybe get a chance to buy merch is giving me Eras Tour PTSD flashbacks.

TRIGGERED

SNL comes back for Season 51 on October 4 - do y'all think she'll be the musical guest? (I'd love if she'd host again!)

The "hero" image of a website is like, the main image.

Tay's getting a gold medal in the Olympics with those flippers.

That's not the same thing as actually having the copyright for "The Life of a Showgirl" - she also uses DMCA to strike down use of her name and likeness (also a bunch of other names there that would have protection).

proof?

The end of the Showgirl song says "thanks for coming to the show" so if its real that's very very likely the final track.

BIG BRAIN thought: Taylor made this on purpose so it would leak and distract us all from hunting down the actual album.

The new Billboard rules are that: A limit of four "digital D2C exclusive versions" is allowed for the lifetime of an album, including deluxe versions. These exclusive digital versions cannot be offered for sale during the first week of release. SO she can't pull another Anthology and drop 12 more tracks overnight, they wouldn't count towards her numbers.

Lame poster when the rest of the visuals are so elaborate. And its a square, not 24x36.

LOL no way the interior photos are opulent and dramatically set and posed, and the cover is this.

Plenty of room on the charts right now, no major releases until Sabrina at the end of August, and we're rapidly approaching the end of the Grammy window. She's Taylor Swift, she might have decided she doesn't need to do months of promo.

If so, then the "Ruin the Friendship" song would be written before Blake went all "my dragons" on her in the lawsuit.

IF the leak is real and it's that far into the logistics cycle to be leaked by downstream vendors getting it, then it's very very possible it's releasing this week.

It is interesting how AI kind of gives her cover for leaks, because even though we've seen this we're still on the edge of our seats to find out if its real. I'm not convinced - we've been able to guess for months that there would be a Gatsby aesthetic and the colors would be orange, and that she's working with Max Martin. I'm leaning towards this being a graphic designer creating a convincing fake. Mostly because Shellback is retired and Sabrina would have a writing credit. I also think a genuine leak would have revealed the album title. Also there's no track 5.

Could be that it's not months away and she's dropping it this month.

Needs more tuba

Is this the first time she's ever gone on a podcast? I can't remember any other example.
