Swifties Crack the Code: Fans Uncover Clever Easter Egg in New Album
3 Oct
Summary
- Fans discovered hidden meaning in the order of Showgirl album tracks
- The tracklist forms the shape of Swift's Eras Tour stage
- Some fan theories were "based in absolutely nothing close to reality"
In a recent interview, pop superstar Taylor Swift, 35, opened up about her love of leaving Easter eggs for fans to discover in her music. She revealed that Swifties had successfully uncovered a special detail about the order of the tracks on her new album The Life of a Showgirl.
Swift admitted that while some fan theories are "based in absolutely nothing close to reality," the fans hit the nail on the head when they realized the tracklist forms the same diamond-shaped stage design as her Eras Tour. The singer explained that the long titles at the beginning and end, with a long title in the center and shorter ones in between, create the distinctive stage shape when viewed as a whole.
The Showgirl album was written during Swift's Eras Tour, and the music's theme is "everything that was going on behind the curtain" rather than just what happened on stage. The clever Easter egg is a nod to this behind-the-scenes focus. While some fan theories went too far, like thinking her baking hobby was part of the album, Swift was honored that Swifties cared so much about uncovering hidden meanings in her work.
