Swifties gather round because many people think that Taylor Swift is about to drop a
major announcement on May 8.
She’s been planting some Easter eggs and fans are totally convinced.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the latest news updates you
need to know and Swifties, I only have one question for you, Are You Ready For It?
Because there are lots of clues pointing towards Taylor making a big announcement next Friday.
And we’ll get into all the Easter eggs, but before we dive in, don’t forget to subscribe

breaking news updates.
Alright, so let’s talk about Taylor’s most recent selfie.
She looks absolutely stunning and fresh faced, unlike how most of us look on our couches
at home, but obviously we were all excited to see this pic of Tay.
But was it just an innocent selfie or some classic Taylor Swift foreshadowing?
Well, let’s start with the caption.
It says quote, “Not a lot going on at the moment” which is a nod to the shirt she
wore in her music video for her song 22.
But that’s not the only thing fans caught onto.
What was more significant than the caption was the time the photo was posted.
It was posted on both Twitter and Instagram at exactly 5:08 PM ET.
And if you translate that time into a date, it would be May 8, AKA next Friday.
And if you know anything about musicians, you know that they usually release new music
on Fridays.
Ok… so far it checks out.
But that’s not the only reference Taylor has made to May 8th.
In her music video for The Man, when they cut ahead to the wedding scene, it just so
happens to be 58 years later, and what's the calendar date for May 8th?
5/8 ! So 5/8, 58 you get the point.
And to make these clues even more convincing, let’s do a little simple math.
May 8 is 5/8 and five plus eight is 13.
And we all know that thirteen is Taylor’s lucky number.
So with just one seemingly innocent post, Taylor teased a date, her Red album era, and
her lucky number.
Coincidence?
Doesn’t seem like it...
And obviously plenty of Swifties are talking about all of these Easter eggs on social media.
But before we get into all of their thoughts, I want your initial reactions.
Do you think this is all just a coincidence or a very intentional Taylor Swift clue?
Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below and get that conversation started.
Ok so one fan tweeted and pointed out even more reasons why they think something is coming
on May 8th.
They said quote, “lol she posted this at 5:08. in the man music video “58 years later”
5+8 = 13.
Cruel Summer is 2:58 long.
if nothing happens on May 8 taylor alison swift you’re gonna catch some hands”
And another fan agreed with the Cruel Summer theory thinking maybe we could be getting
a music video for the track.
They said quote, “You Guys!
Her caption!
The caption is from the Music Video of 22 and do u know what's track #2?
It's CRUEL SUMMER!!!
CRUEL SUMMER IS COMING!!!!
She posted it at 5:08, May 8 is the release date???”
After reading all these theories, another fan jumped on board with it all writing quote,
“You know what I am joining the Taylor Swift 5/8 theory.
There’s no way she put “58 years later” in the man music video for no reason.
We know her too well.”
And another person pointed out how all the Swifties felt after seeing her selfie.
They wrote quote, “Taylor Swift: post an Instagram selfie.
Other people: "soo pretty" "soo gorg" etc.
Swifties: Posted 5:08, The Man mv, 58 years later.
05, 08?
May 8?
Another easter eggggg!”
And I totally feel you on that one!
Nothing with our girl Taylor is ever just a coincidence right?
But other fans want more, these few simple clues weren’t enough.
This person tweeted saying quote, “Sweetie 5:08 is not enough give us more to think about
rn”
Another chimed in saying quote, “@taylorswift13 you really gonna give us these 2 itty bitty
clues?!
I'm in my house doing nothing and this gives me something to think about.
We need more!
5.08 could be something or it could be literally nothing.
Idk if she's just messing with us.
Either way, we see you Tay!!!”
But this fan had a totally different theory all together.
Last year, Taylor revealed that she will be re-recording and re-releasing her old music
so she will own her masters again.
In case you missed everything that went down with Taylor Swift, Scooter Braun, and Big
Machine, I linked that Clevver video for you here.
But according to her old contract Taylor can’t release that music again until November of
this year, but hey, she could totally be re-recording some of her music now.
This fan thinks she may be referencing that she’s working on re-recording Red.
They wrote quote, “SHES RE RECORDING RED RN”
And while that doesn’t give us much on the May 8th theory, the caption referencing her
22 music video would make sense.
Taylor hasn’t commented on any of these theories, but I know that I will definitely
be marking May 8th calendar just in case!
