Taylor Swift teases new album countdown referring to previous 'cryptic' posts
It's dropping this Friday
The countdown has BEGUN to the release date of Taylor Swift's new album 'Lover', and fans have been getting super excited. We are now just five days away from 'Lover's release, and to mark that occasion, Taylor has posted a photo on Twitter telling her fans, 'Okay NOW there are five holes in the fence 😬😺💋'.
This isn't the first time Taylor has shared the photo, however, this time her caption referencing, 'NOW' relates to some posts earlier this year. Many fans thought she was posting cryptic clues to the release of her new music, with seven palm trees, followed by Taylor standing on the sixth step, and then the five holes in the fence, however it turned out just to be a coincidence.
Of course, it isn't the first time that Taylor has shared many hidden messages in her social posts. It was only earlier this year that fans thought they knew what her new album was called, before it was officially announced, and they were correct!
With the release of the music video for 'ME!', not only was the video full of Easter eggs referring to previous endeavours, the word 'Lover' appeared throughout the video. Many fans soon zoomed in on the neon signs which said 'Lover'.
And of course back in 2017, Taylor released her comeback single 'Look What You Made Me Do', which had a music video full of hidden messages from the grave of her reputation to Kanye West's ring and Kim Kardashian's choker.
This year, Taylor Swift has released many popular songs, including her collaboration with Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco 'ME!', and 'You Need To Calm Down'. Most recently she dropped the title track from her upcoming album 'Lover', telling her fans at the Teen Choice Awards, "On Friday I have a new song called 'Lover' that's coming out, and I'm so excited."
