HOW IS NO ONE ELSE FREAKING OUT ABOUT TS7?!?!
I AM SOOOOO EXCITED I COULD DIEEEE...
Anyway, I thought I'd collect some of the theories I've been seeing to see how wrong we were when TS7 gets released, ahhhhh!
... I'm sorry about how annoying everything is. XD
CountdownAlthough this theory has really, really sadly been debunked, us Swifties started counting random things in Taylor's Instagram posts and noticed that
eight sofa buttons went to
seven palm trees to sitting on the
sixth step to
five holes in the fence... Because of that, we really thought that Taylor would be announcing something once the countdown ended or reached the number one. That meant that it would've either ended on March 1st, or March 2nd, which by the way, was marked with a flower on the reputation calendar!!!
If you didn't see the Instagram posts, here they are. XD
UGH, I WISH THE THEORY WAS REAL... XD
Release Date
But if the countdown didn't happen, then when will something be released? XD
Here are some theories!
The first one is that it will be released sometime in April, because of a few reasons...
Some people actually counted the number of stars in Taylor's palm tree picture on Instagram, and they got 60... 60 days from when Taylor posted the picture is April 26th, Arbor Day, which has something to do with trees, and maybe even palm trees! XD
Some people think something might be happening on April 13th or April 14th. April 13th because it's marked on the reputation calendar with a wax seal... April 14th because that's Palm Sunday, which might sound like something to do with palm trees! XD
Other people just think it has something to do with April, but not specific to a certain date...
However, some people suspect that Taylor might be releasing something way sooner... Specifically on March 14th, because that's the day she will be at the iHeartRadio awards!
It finally clicked to me why Taylor dotted her eye with little hearts, because eye heart, like iHeartRadio! XD
GenreRight now, the only idea we have regarding the genre of TS7 is that it might either be country pop or a completely new genre altogether.
Some people think the palm trees actually represent Taylor's albums... The 4 ones on the left representing her country albums, the 2 on the right representing her pop ones, and the big one in the middle representing TS7! This could mean that TS7 will either be a mixture of country and pop, or a genre that will dominant everything she's done so far. XD
Palm TreesAs we all hopefully already know, palm trees!
I think it's a fact that TS7 will have something to do with palm trees, here's some of the evidence:
There were 7 palm tree patches on this jacket Taylor wore:
In the End Game music video, Taylor wore a jacket with 7 palm trees!!!
There were 7 palm trees in the reputation tour poster!
Even Ryan Tedder, who helped Taylor co-write 1989, changed his Twitter banner to palm trees... XD
Lastly, the only Taylor in the narrative of Look What You Made Me Do music video that wasn't a Taylor in a previous era was palm tree Taylor. What?!
Also, palm trees symbolise eternity and immortality, which is also what mermaids represent! This whole thing might add to the idea of eternality, which could be why people said they saw the word 'eternal' on Taylor's BBMAs dress! XD
TS6
Expanding on that last picture of palm tree Taylor in the Look What You Made Me Do music video, there's another theory that TS7 was meant to be TS6. If you watch the narrative at the end of the video, the fifteen Taylor's from past eras are shown lining up, but palm tree Taylor is in the background spraying 'reputation' over the plane while cutting the plane wing off. If you look closely at the wing of the plane, you'll be able to see 'TS6' on it, so supposedly, TS7 was scheduled to be released but then all the drama took the first seat (everything to do with Kim, Kanye and the phone call) and so reputation took off instead. I personally think this theory is genuis, ahh!
ParadiseNot only has the aesthetic of Taylor's recent posts been very paradise-y, but there's more. XD
Okay, besides the obvious 'paradise' on Taylor's jacket, one of the patches in Taylor's reputation patch set was a pair of dice.
If you count the number the white sides, we get a total of 7, as in... TS7!
Also 'pair of dice' literally sounds soooo much like 'paradise'!
Besides, didn't Taylor say it 'could end in burning flames or
paradise' in Style and 'darkest little
paradise' in Don't Blame Me, and as far as I know, her relationship with Joe has been paradise?
So I'm convinced the word paradise is going to be used somewhere in the album! XD
NatureI'm not sure if Taylor has just really been into nature lately, but I get the feeling that TS7 if going to be related to nature somehow...
FairytaleThis is probably my favourite theory, because I
love fairytales...
I have a feeling that TS7 will probably be a lovey dovey album about Taylor getting her happily ever after.
I guess the main reason for this is because of how she's been dressing up as Disney characters lately, like Ariel
, Cinderella, and possibly Tinkerbelle and Belle!!!
Story
I don't know about you, but stories and books seem to be recurring theme...
So I'm starting to really think that TS7 might be told like a story, possibly even like a fairytale because of all of the princess-y posts we've been getting!
Childhood
Because of all the little associations to stories and fairytales, and because of posts like the one below, I'm starting to think that TS7 will have something to do with childhood, and possibly growing up and maturing. I mean, Taylor
is somehow turning 30 this year...
New Beginning
I don't think this theory is really there yet, because there hasn't been much evidence...
But from what we have so far, Taylor has been capitalising really random words in her Instagram posts, and some of the words spell out 'begin another me'. XD
Besides that, Taylor has also been capitalising some other words, but they don't make sense strung together.
Katy PerryA final theory I is that there might be a collaboration with Katy Perry!
Not only is Katy known to love flamingoes, which might be why flamingoes were part of Taylor's camo jacket, but above the flamingo patch is a patch of the number 84, which is the year Katy was born!
This is probably irrelevant, but a month after the article of Taylor wearing that jacket came out, Katy posted a picture onto Instagram of herself posing next to a giant flamingo model, captioning it 'A group of flamingos is called a FLAMBOYANCE which is what I am naming my side project ok'... XD
Olive branches, which is what Katy gave Taylor as an apology, and palm trees are also both symbols of peace, which I think is beautiful.

Okay, I think I'm done. XD
What do you think of these theories?
THIS TOOK ME FOREVER TO DO, OH MY GOSH.
BUT AHHH, WHATEVER HAPPENS, I'M SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!
