SOUND THE ALARMS, SWIFTIES!
The queen of cryptic clues AKA Taylor Swift posted a brand new clip about Red (Taylor’s
Version) on Apple Music and it has fans FREAKING out.
Let’s get into it!
Are you ready to Begin Theorizing Again?
Well, not really, because we all know Taylor loves to leave crumbs for the Swifties to
piece together, and with the upcoming release of Red (Taylor’s Version) on November 12th,
she’s basically been leaving an entire trail of clues.
However, it seems like Everything Has Changed… because Taylor posted a pretty freakin’
official message on Apple Music, as noticed by one TikTok user who tipped Swifties off
to go take a listen.
While in front of a screenshot of Apple Music on her phone showing a track called “A Message
from Taylor”, the TikTok user urges others to open the music app immediately!
“THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
This is not a drill.
RUN.
RUN to Apple Music right now.
Run”
But don’t worry, Spotify users!
Since Taylor dropped the audio exclusively on Apple Music, this TikToker also gifted
the world with a video containing the audio.
Thanks, bestie!
The track is 23 seconds long and while it’s not a single nor has any hint of music in
it, the message does give us a lot of information about what to expect from Red (Taylor’s
Version).
“Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person.
It was all over the place.
A fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end.
Happy.
Free.
Confused.
Lonely.
Devastated.
Euphoric.
Wild.
And tortured by memories past.”
Tay goes on to conclude her voice memo by saying, “These are the original 30 songs
that were meant for Red.
I love you guys.”
Seriously, we’ve all gotta stock up on tissues now, because November is going to be an emotional
month, y’all.
Between Red (Taylor’s Version) coming out on November 12th and Adele’s 30 coming out
a week later on November 19th… it’s going to be a lot.
While this Apple Music audio is a certified clue from Taylor herself, another user on
TikTok has theorized that fans miiiiight have gotten another gift from the singer recently,
but it wasn’t exactly official…
In case you missed it, a Taylor demo was leaked on TikTok on the 13th of a song she wrote
called Better Man ...which ended up becoming a song by country music group Little Big Town.
Yeah, the same one that won Little Big Town Song of the Year at the 2017 CMAs.
THAT Better Man.
At first, fans were LOVING and LIVING while listening to the demo version....
But they soon shifted to trying to figure out one question…
Who was the fan that leaked the demo?
Well, one TikTok user doesn’t think it was a fan at all…
They think it was actually none other than Taylor herself!
Uh, what?!?
In the video, she broke her theory down like this: “I have a theory about who released
this leaked ‘Better Man’ demo and here’s a hint, it’s not a fan.”
She explained that while going down a rabbit hole of unreleased leaked Taylor songs, more
recently uncovering one called “Battle” that was initially recorded for Speak Now,
that the private account responsible for releasing the song, @absolutelynottaylorswift, has led
her to believe that it IS, in fact Taylor posting.
She pointed out the account’s profile picture that reads, “am I a person or taylor swift
lyrics glued together,” adding QUOTE, “You know who would make this account and make
it private and not let me follow even though I requested… Taylor Swift.
So I believe Taylor Swift leaked her own demo.
On the 13th.
On a Wednesday so we can watch it begin again in order to build hype over Red (Taylor’s
Version) specifically for her fans on her TikTok on a secret account.”
One commenter added another theory as to why the leak happened instead of Tay releasing
an official single from Red (Taylor’s Version)... and it seems like a pretty valid point.
They said: “I think she also chose not to officially release anything (and to leak instead)
to not step on Adele’s first single release in 6 years.”
I mean… all of these theories sound extremely plausible to us… who could know for sure?
ONLY Miss Taylor Alison Swift, and we have a feeling she’s gonna keep her lips locked
tight for as long as she can...
For all the details on the Red (Taylor’s Version) release date and the weekend of tears
we’re all in for next month, watch this Clevver video:
