Taylor Swift may have broken her poker face.
Following the unveiling of her latest album titled “The Life of a Showgirl“, the artist has reportedly been showing favor to various fan hypotheses, such as one speculating that the collection secretly references Lady Gaga in subtle ways.
Speculation arose among fans when they noticed that Lady Gaga released her song “Applause” 12 years ago on August 12, coincidentally the same day as Taylor’s announcement for her 12th album. Some speculate this could be another instance of an unseen connection between the two artists. Interestingly, during Taylor’s Eras Tour, she incorporated “Applause” into her intro playlist, with the song playing minutes before Taylor appeared on stage each night.
As a devoted admirer, I find myself pondering: Is this an extraordinary stroke of luck, or could it possibly be that she’s dealing with some form of mental health issue? (Written on X Aug. 11)
According to a screenshot shared by the user, it appears that Taylor liked the post, implying that her Easter Egg had been strategically planned years ahead.
As a die-hard Swiftie, I’ve been eagerly awaiting news about Taylor’s upcoming 12th album ever since she dropped that tantalizing hint on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast! And guess what? There have been whispers in the music world suggesting that Taylor and Lady Gaga might be teaming up for this album – a dream collaboration if you ask me! I can hardly contain my excitement, but until we get official confirmation, all we can do is wait and hope.
In March, upon the release of Lady Gaga’s album titled “Mayhem“, listeners speculated that they could detect Taylor’s voice on the track “How Bad Do U Want Me”. Additionally, the song was noted for its similarities in songwriting to 2022’s “Hits Different.
At that moment, one user expressed, “Just how much do you want me to be a straightforward Taylor Swift tune?”, while another thought the song originated from Taylor’s well-known treasure trove of unpublished songs, commenting, “Why was Lady Gaga playing in Taylor’s secret vault.
In fact, despite speculations suggesting that Taylor was involved in the song, neither of them gave her credit, and reliable sources from both Us Weekly and Page Six affirmed that the rumors about her participation were unfounded.
However, it’s not unexpected that the artist famous for her unexpected moves might consider a collaboration with another iconic pop figure. Fans anticipate an album filled with catchy “glitter gel pen” tunes, but given that Taylor Swift recently shared a Spotify playlist on August 12th featuring 22 songs produced by Max Martin and Shellback, the duo behind hits like “Bad Blood,” “I Knew You Were Trouble,” and “Delicate,” such a partnership could very well be on the cards.
It’s also speculated among fans that a potential collaboration could appear on the album, possibly a song featuring Sabrina Carpenter, who served as the opening act for the tour.
Essentially, the artist known for “Espresso” was shown in the 12th picture of Taylor Nation’s August 11 post, hinting at a new album. The caption read, “Reminiscing about when she said ‘See you next era…'”. Interestingly, the first 11 photos depicted Taylor wearing orange, while the last one showed them singing together.
In my eagerness to uncover any hidden hints, I’ve discovered a potential clue right on Sabrina’s website homepage. There, the date “August 12th, 2025” catches my eye, sparking curiosity among fans on platform X. One fan expressed their excitement by saying, “EXCUSE ME???? SABRINA COLLAB IS REAL.” So, keep your eyes peeled for August 12th, 2025!
For more easter eggs ahead of the album release, read on.
Taylor Swift likely wouldn’t display a countdown clock on her website, counting down to “12 AM ET on 12/12,” with a sparkly orange backdrop, without a specific purpose or event in mind.
On August 12, 2024, I proudly sported a stylish ensemble that turned heads: a coordinated plaid miniskirt and cropped jacket. Far from being haphazard or clueless, my outfit was a testament to my keen fashion sense.
In my expertise as a lifestyle enthusiast, I’ve noticed an intriguing detail that caught the keen eye of Kristen (@perfectlyfine89). It seems Taylor might be intentionally locking eyes with the camera, and what adds to this suspicion is the harmonious color scheme of her outfit. Her choice of orange and green echoes the palette of the cover art for “The Life of a Showgirl,” a connection she herself shared on Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, a year after the initial observation. Fascinating, isn’t it?
At 12:12 AM ET on August 12, 2025, a teaser episode was posted, featuring Taylor carrying a distinctive briefcase – colored mint-green with the initials “T.S.” in bold orange letters. This briefcase hinted at what appears to be her upcoming 12th studio album, although its contents were currently blurred.
Indeed, Taylor Swift expresses strong feelings towards plaid, as evident by her choice to don a tartan-patterned outfit at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. During this event, she famously declared, “my boyfriend Travis.
As an ardent admirer, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve secured the exclusive opportunity to pre-order “The Life of a Showgirl” directly from Taylor’s official website! Whether you’re a vinyl enthusiast, a CD collector, or still rocking cassettes, rest assured that your preferred format will arrive before October 13th, ready for you to immerse yourself in the magic of her music.
It’s clear that Taylor has a connection with the number 13. Interestingly enough, October 3rd, which can be written as 10-3, not only adds up to 13, but it’s also celebrated as both National Plaid Day and National Boyfriend’s Day. As you can see from the information above…
Looking back, everything seems clearer in the world of Taylor. On August 11, Taylor Nation’s official social media accounts shared a series of 12 photos showcasing Taylor performing on stage wearing various orange outfits with the caption, “Reflecting on when she said ‘I’ll see you in the next phase…’
Travis and Jason hinted subtly at a notable guest on their unique episode of “New Heights,” scheduled for August 13th at 7 p.m. ET. Even casual fans of Taylor Swift could recognize what appeared to be Taylor’s silhouette in the promotional material.
As a devoted admirer, I had the privilege of witnessing an extraordinary sight last August 11th. In anticipation of a special occasion, the Empire State Building was bathed in a warm orange glow – a spectacle that was beautifully captured by the official New York City landmark account on their social media platform at 1:45 p.m. Eastern Time. Accompanying the image was an intriguing caption that read, “See you next era.
On October 18, 2024, a TikTok posted from Taylor’s initial Miami performance during the Eras Tour, featured her posing before Section A12 at the Hard Rock Stadium, which seemed to hint at August 12 (possibly the release date of album 12?).
Later on, she donned a sparkly orange jumpsuit, exclaiming “Miami, we’re back!”, followed by a green skirt and orange top for the 1989 segment of the concert. To add to that, she performed in an extravagant white feathered costume while singing “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”, reminiscent of a Vegas showgirl.
Her way of saying that her next album was finished and this is what it looks like?
Indeed, it’s important to note that not only is orange an official color of the Miami Hurricanes, but so is green as well. It’s possible for multiple facts to hold true simultaneously.
As a lifestyle aficionado, I recently curated a Spotify playlist that aptly bears the title, “And, indeed, that’s the way show business works.” This playlist is adorned with an iconic orange monogram bearing the T.S. initials, set against a lush green backdrop.
It’s worth noting that there are 22 songs by Taylor that were produced by the renowned duo Max Martin and Shellback (also known as Karl Johan Schuster), fueling fans’ theories that she penned the entire ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ album while touring in Europe. These two collaborators allegedly played a significant role in helping her bring this project to life.
Listeners picked up on the fact that the backdrop of the “New Heights” podcast showcased several boxes in colors such as orange, red, white, and purple, each displaying the initials “T.S.”, potentially suggesting upcoming album variations or additional music.
As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but share my excitement over a fascinating fan theory I stumbled upon on Twitter. It suggests that Lady Gaga intentionally released her song “Applause” exactly 12 years after Taylor announced her show Life of a Showgirl on August 12th. The intriguing part? Taylor has been opening her Eras Tour each night with “Applause,” as well as Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me.” This theory certainly adds another layer to the captivating interplay between these two incredible artists!
Taylor found amusing a fan’s post implying a possible collab with Lady Gaga, asking if it was merely a remarkable coincidence or a sign of Gaga’s mental instability.)
Fans of Taylor Swift, often referred to as Swifties, started wondering if Sabrina Carpenter might be part of the upcoming project “Life of a Showgirl” when she showed up in the 12th picture of a photo gallery shared by Taylor Nation hinting at the next phase. Additionally, Carpenter posted a message on her website with the date August 12th, fueling further speculation.
