Taylor Swift Has Taken It Too Far With An Easter Egg
Taylor Swift Puts all the conspiracy theories to rest about an easter egg found on “folklore” album artwork. We all know the singer is big on engaging her fans with leaving out clues and we all thought she definitely did that, once again. However, turns out, that’s out of the woods.
The Pop sensation Taylor Swift has had a busy yet productive and fun 2020. From releasing two studio albums in less than five months, “folklore” and “evermore” respectively, the singer has made it to the news again. As “fanspiracies” float around about a third album coming up, Taylor has cleared the air.
Here’s What Really Happened
Fans were quick to spot a word, “Woodvale” on the cover and quickly assumed another album release. The singer’s fans have read into it as a possible title of an upcoming THIRD album, following evermore. Is this true? Not really, apparently, it’s all a big mistake from Taylor Swift’s end.
When Taylor Took It Too Far!
Well, Taylor herself appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live to clear the air. The singer clarified that it was all a mistake and that there is no album by the name, much to fans’ disappointment. The ‘Love Story’ singer went on to explain although Jimmy did not seem to buy the explanation entirely. Here’s what she had to say:
“OK, well this takes a bit of explanation. So, I tend to be sort of annoyingly secret agent-y about dropping clues and hints and Easter eggs. And it’s very annoying. But it’s fun for fans and it’s fun for me because they like to pick up on things. And they’ll notice things in music videos or whatever. Then, sometimes I take it too far and I make a mistake. Basically, when I was making folklore, the album that came out back in July, I was too afraid to unveil the title of the album to even my closest teammates or management.”
Apparently, Swift went around the town telling people that she was working on an album called “Woodvale”. All those people only went on to find the release of “folklore” in July.
In order to sound more convincing, the singer went on to say “I didn’t tell anybody the album title until it came out. So, I came up with a fake code name that had the same amount of letters as folklore. Chose a random name. Chose Woodvale. Wanted to see how it would look on the album covers. Mocked them up. Then decided, I don’t really want the title on the album covers. Then forgot to take the fake code name off of one.”
What’s Coming Next?
Well, since she has previously played this game of leaving clues behind, we can see why fans caught on to it and believed the theories. Although, it did disappoint, Taylor still has a pretty busy year-end.
Following her feud with Scooter Braun, Taylor Swift has begun re-recording all of her masters. Thanks to Ryan Reynolds for sharing a snippet of what is to come with us. The actor used the snippet to complement his own commercial for Match.com, with the singer’s permission of course!
