Taylor Swift Has Seen The Fan Theories About Her Seventh Album

Taylor Swift knows fans are speculating about her seventh album. In the midst of a very active week on Instagram, the singer’s latest post showed her cat, Olivia Benson, looking surprised.

“She just read all the theories,” Swift wrote.

Though Swift did not confirm the recent theories about her new album, which fans call TS7, she certainly did not deny the detailed investigations, either.

The post comes after fans started theorizing about her Instagram posts. The singer typically posts only sporadically, but she has been publishing new photos daily since Feb. 23. Many believe there is a countdown in the photos with a big announcement planned for March 2. There are eight circle tacks in a couch in one photo, seven palm trees in another, Taylor is sitting on the sixth step from the bottom of the stairs in one and then there are five holes in a fence.

Palm trees also seem to be a recurring theme. It isn’t yet clear if there is a hidden four somewhere in the photo of Swift’s cat, but fans believe Swift is using a “palm springs” filter on the photo.

Also, Ryan Tedder, with whom she has collaborated before, posted palm trees on Twitter and Instagram.

The “Delicate” singer had a few palm trees pop up during her “Reputation” era. A promotional title shows seven palm trees, and fans noticed Swift even wore palm trees in the “Look What You Made Me Do” video, a possible hint that she was already planning her next chapter.

Palm trees aren’t the only plant in the TS7 theories. The fence photo shows Swift wearing a shirt with forget-me-not flowers. She wore the same top in an October Instagram post where all of her Scrabble tiles added up to seven. Forget-me-nots bloom in April, adding fuel to the theory that a new album will be released that month.

Then, there’s Swift’s official calendar that fans purchased. The singer has stamps on many dates, but a dried flower appears on March 2. Could it be marking the arrival of her first single?

On Wednesday, it was announced that Swift will make a special appearance on the iHeartRadio Awards to accept the tour of the year award on March 14. It seems like a fitting way to end the “Reputation” era and kick off a new album cycle, but fans will have to wait and see if Taylor drops new music soon.
