What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News, and Taylor Swift just spilled the tea on whether
or not ‘folklore’ and ‘evermore’ really have a third sister album on the way.
And fans have a lot to say about Taylor’s response to the rumors.
Swifties know that in July Taylor Swift dropped her incredible ‘folklore’ album and last
week, she dropped it’s equally incredible sister album ‘evermore.’
And while we were totally surprised by both of these albums, fans are now on high alert
looking for more Easter eggs and clues from Taylor.
Right after ‘evermore’ came out, fans were quick to point to all the signs why they
think ‘folklore’ and ‘evermore’ have a third sister album called ‘woodvale’
on the way.
These rumors started when Swifties noticed the word “woodvale” hidden in the corner
of the ‘folklore’ album art, leading them to believe that this could be the third album
in a trilogy.
There were also some other clues like merch coming in sets of three and her cardigan having
three stars on it.
We’re not going to get into ALL the fan theories right now, but we’ve linked another
Clevver video above for you on that if you’re interested.
And now, Taylor finally addressed these rumors on Monday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel
Live.
Jimmy asked about the ‘woodvale’ theory and Taylor explained that she tends to be
“secret agenty about dropping clues and hints and Easter eggs' ' but this one actually
went too far.
“And then sometimes um I take it too far and I make a mistake.”
Taylor revealed that while she was making Folklore she was very concerned about any
info about the surprise album getting leaked.
“I was too afraid to even unveil the title of the album to even my closest teammates
and management.
I didn’t tell anybody the album title until right before it came out.”
And so she explained that instead of telling people the actual name of the album, she came
up with a fake code name that had the same amount of letters as ‘folklore’, hence
‘woodvale.’
chose a random name, chose Woodvale, wanted to see how it would look on the album cover,
mocked them up and then decided I don’t actually want to have a title on the album
covers and we forgot to take the fake code name off of one of them.
Is that true?
Is that really true?
Yes.”
She said ‘evermore’ also had a code name and it was November, but that they remembered
to take it off all the album cover mock ups before they released them this time.
And when Jimmy questioned if she had a third album in the works at all, regardless of if
it’s titled Woodvale or not, here’s what Taylor said.
“I’m so tired, I’m so exhausted, I’ve tired myself out.
I have nothing left.”
Taylor also told Apple Music that she feels closure after releasing ‘evermore.’
She said that after releasing ‘folklore’ she was happy and proud but she still had
her foot on the gas when it came to writing more music for ‘evermore.’
“With this one, I have this feeling of, of sort of quiet conclusion and sort of this
weird serenity of like we did what we set out to do and we’re all really proud of
it.”
But none of this has stopped fans from continuing to speculate that Taylor is still going to
drop that third sister album.
One person wrote, “She’s lying.
The third album is coming.”
Another fan didn’t believe that Taylor could’ve left a mistake like the word Woodvale on the
album art writing “This is hard to believe cuz shes a perfectionist, but we'll give her
the benefit of the doubt.
Although i still think there'll be a 3rd album.”
This person pointed out that “She didn't say there's no 3rd album, she only said 'Woodvale'
is a codename she forgot to remove from folklore.”
And this Swiftie believed her and was glad writing “Anyways that's good we want the
next year to be focused on re-recordings.”
So regardless if you believe Taylor or not, we have PLENTY of music to enjoy until she
decides whatever she is going to do next.
And we know it’ll be amazing, whenever that is.
Being a Swiftie really is so fun, she’s brought so much joy to this year, let’s
just be thankful for the two amazing albums we got!
And also this incredibly candid interview.
I just love regular updates from Taylor, they really do help brighten our day!
