Fans discovered all-new Taylor Swift lyrics hidden in a greeting card

And it fits in with the whole ‘timeless’ theory

Taylor Swift's sixth LP is coming (probably) this week and fans have been foaming at the mouth (some literally) for any fragment of a clue about the album's theme, title, cover, whatever.

Right now, there are three main theories floating around. The first is about space, which kicked off after Taylor blacked out her social media accounts. Dedicated (read: insane) stans ran the Javascript code on her website, and found colors coded with celestial names like "neptune" and "moondust." And it kind of fit because the eclipse was coming up.

Another theory came up after Taylor dropped two silent videos featuring what looks a snake. Could she be reclaiming the label she was given after Kimyegate? Some thought it could actually be a dragon, which doesn't make sense until you look at this Chinese dragon-inspired outfit from the 2015 BRIT Awards:

WHICH IS WHERE SHE MET CALVIN HARRIS. Considering the bulk of the album is probably going to be about him, referencing what she wore on the night they met is exactly the kind of poetic detail that'd be included.

Finally, we're brought to the time/timeless theory. This is the longest-standing idea about what the album will hold thanks in part to seemingly-hidden messages tweeted by Taylor insiders.

And today, we are vindicated. Fans think they've found lyrics from the upcoming single hidden in an American Greetings card.

Taylor's been partnered with the greeting card company American Greetings for years because her sickly sweet sentiments are exactly what you want in say, an anniversary card. She writes for them, they sell out like crazy. After her social media blackout, one of the first people she started following again was American greetings.

And then they tweeted this…..

Alright. On one hand, it could just be a sweet sentiment. But on the other hand, there are too many coincidences. It was tweeted at exactly 11 a.m., the same time Taylor dropped her cryptic snake/dragon video. Also, doesn't this seem like exactly the kind of lyric Taylor would write?? Finally, it fits in with the time/timeless theory. Bingo!

But there's more! American Greetings also posted a video to Instagram featuring a guitar-strumming dude who reeeeally seems to look like Taylor's longtime backing guitarist Amos Heller:

Also, what the hell could ever been interesting about a greeting card company unless an international popstar is stopping by? And you have to admit, it's not unlike Taylor $wift to partner with a company for such a major drop. Last year it was Yahoo!, so it's perfectly reasonable.

I'm ready, Mother Snake. I'm ready.
