Fans speculate an official Taylor Swift countdown has begun, which would ultimately disclose details of TS12, aka the singer’s new album. The theory of the countdown was sparked by Taylor Nation, the singer’s official fan club.
The fan page started posting tributes to the singer’s past albums in chronological order. The page’s recent posts also include an EDT time in each one. Fans noticed the EDT time of every post is following a particular schedule, which could finally end with the singer revealing the news of her upcoming 12th album.
Fans are searching ‘Taylor Swift Countdown’ for a reason
Taylor Nation has sent the Swift-fandom into a frenzy as netizens count down the minutes till the singer’s announcement of her much-awaited new album. Longtime fans of Taylor Swift know by heart that the singer often introduces Easter egg hunts before revealing details of a new album.
Hence, Swifties are always eager to decode hidden clues before an official announcement regarding new music actually drops. In recent years, Swift has maneuvered different ways of announcing new album details. For the upcoming 12th album, fans think Swift has started a secret countdown with Taylor Nation welcoming each album in a separate post.
The posts started with Taylor Nation welcoming Swift’s debut album, writing, “Welcome home, self titled. Dive into our favorite memories on the new Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour archival site. #SelfTitledEraTSTheErasTour. Everything we need is finally right here by our side and to celebrate, stream the album with us at 1pm EDT today.”
For the “All Too Well” crooner’s next two albums, Fearless and Speak Now, the timing reportedly changed to 2 p.m. EDT and 3 p.m. EDT, respectively. The chronological order of the albums and timing prompted fans to start the new theory.
One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Taylor Nation further fuels speculation that they’re counting down using Taylor Swift’s albums, a sequence that, if real, would conclude at 6 PM on July 24th.”
Others think the countdown might not end in an album announcement but a documentary, which could unveil how the legendary pop singer bought back her masters and reclaimed her musical legacy.
A Swiftie opined on X, “We will get a doc announcement. It’s called “Begin Again: A Look through the Eras” and it will focus on her reclaiming her music, going through the Eras tour, and then reclaiming love with a TS12 announcement.”
