Taylor Swift fans are convinced they know what her new album is about

TS7 is COMING!!!!!

It’s actually really unfair that Taylor Swift gets to know about Taylor Swift’s new album before the rest of us do, but it’s probably for the best.

Last night, at the 2018 American Music Awards, the singer-songwriter hinted that she’s working on a new album while accepting her award for best pop/rock album, and Swifties online have lost their shit.

RT if you'd sell your left leg to be invited to the TS7 Secret Sessions

Onstage, Taylor spoke all about how Reputation came together, before hinting that there’s another album in the works.

“I always look at albums as chapters in my life,” she said, “and I’m so happy that you like this one, but I have to be really honest with you, I’m even more excited about the next chapter.”

Taylor Swift walked off stage and said get ready faggot my new album is coming and I said thank you

And it’s true! There’s Speak Now Taylor, Fearless Taylor and RED Taylor, lest we forget.

It really must be 2018 if instead of celebrating the drop of Miley Cyrus’ new album, which is reportedly Bangerz 2.0, we’re all busy speculating as to what TS7 might be about:

Some think we’re getting a throwback album à la Red

My #TS7 predictions:
a mix of indie/alternative/pop/rock. loose floral dresses & fashion throwbacks to the 60s and 70s. even more vulnerability. possibly slightly more political. overall soft aesthetic, but still not afraid to be tough or edgy. lots of love songs. more jaylor.

PREDICTION FOR TS7:
i feel shes going more of a lana del rey direction (idk what that means specifically) and will have more of a instrument-y sound instead of trap beats & modern pop
she’ll ldo something similar to sn-red but make it completely new at the same time

But most think she is going to singlehandedly save American politics

Too many people on Twitter are busy talking about politics when they should be talking about Taylor Swift’s new album!

At least a few of us are talking about both…

TS7 IS ABOUT TO GET POLITICAL GUYS. GET YOUR WIGS READY #ts7

Either that, or she’s finally engaged to Joe Alwyn

Does this mean @taylorswift13 has a new album on the way? Albums are like chapters, does this mean she’s secretly engaged or some shit?? I am freaking out

— Olivia Torrence (@omgitzoliviaaa) October 10, 2018

I’m calling it that Tay will get engaged during #TS7 ???????

Imagine Taylor as a bride!! ???

Okay okay.. I maybe getting WAYYY too excited about the fact that #TS7ISCOMING ????

AND about seeing @taylorswift13 doing what she loves at #ReptourBrisbane ???? pic.twitter.com/Ss7hj3Xjek

— Ally Swiftie ? REP Brisbane? (@Ally_swiftie14) October 10, 2018

IMAGINE THIS:
Joe proposes to Taylor after she is done with her tour but they keep it a secret and we find out 2 years later that they got engaged because Taylor writes a song about it on TS7

— Sarah (@_SwiftieSarah) August 13, 2018

Sooo ummm hehe Taylor could already be engaged and we just don’t know about it because that’s ts7

— Smelly Cat Swift Brat (@repqueen_13) July 9, 2018

Prediction: Taylor doesn’t tell us she’s engaged or married. If it happens before TS7, it’ll be a secret message in the lyric book!!!

— Liv: PROUD SWIFTIE (@oliviacasanova) October 7, 2018

A baby seems like a bit of a stretch…

I will lose my shit whether it’s TS7, a baby, a movie…but I think Joe and her could be engaged ?

— KC Kati (@KC__Kati) October 10, 2018

But maybe her next album is literally just called: The Next Chapter

She has been known to drop hints about album and song names in the past.

Did @taylorswift13 just hint at a new album she is already making?! What if it titled the next chapter. I mean I'm just saying #TaylorSwiftAMAs #AMAs

— Samantha Meadowcroft (@samanthajm08) October 10, 2018

If only she’d been like “Thank you LA for an amazing night and goodbye to the rep tour! My new album (TS7) drops tonight at midnight!” But if I’m being honest, I’m not fully recovered enough from Reputation to devote my life to a new album.

Instagram now tells people when you screenshot, so just throw away your whole damn phone

Who thought this was a good idea!?

by Caroline Phinney

Lately, Instagram has sucked for a lot of reasons: posts are no longer in chronological order, influencers are reportedly being screwed out of money, and now, on top of everything else, Instagram alerts someone when you take a screenshot. Is nothing sacred?! Long gone are the days of snapping pics of your ‘friends’ and then…
