Taylor Swift Fans Are Losing It Over Her Big Album Announcement (and We Relate)
Taylor Swift has had us on the edge of our seats since last Friday, when she wiped her website and social media accounts clean. Our curiosity was further piqued when the singer returned with daily clips of a spiky, fang-bearing snake. Today, she finally gave us exactly what we were hoping for — the promise of new music — and fans are (adorably, hilariously) FREAKING OUT!
Since Swift revealed that her sixth album will be titled Reputation, with the first single dropping tomorrow night (!!), Swifties have been poring over every little detail, from the name itself to the accompanying art and beyond.

The general consensus is that Swift is using the snake emojis people used against her as inspo for her new music.
They try to paint her as a snake and ruin her #Reputation Taylor Swift's Reputation era is going to be everything. 😭😭👸🏼🐍 #TaylorSwift
— Gabby (@WonderlandGabby) August 23, 2017
Instead of being very much excluded from this narrative, I guess she's owning it https://t.co/WhxLTA4FUv

Yep. And with her songwriting talent, we already know she is going to slay at it, one single at a time. #PR #Reputation #TaylorSwift https://t.co/VkmTfubqYs

Ain't gonna lie the fact that @taylorswift13 is taking back the 🐍emoji & embracing it is LIFE AF #TaylorSwift -this girl is smarttttttt
— Goddess of Randomnes (@JanetJaramill0) August 23, 2017
Some people think she might be embracing her darker side.
1. She is wearing black lipstick instead of her red lip classic
2. She's wearing a chokerHER DARK ERA IS COMING #TaylorSwift #Reputation pic.twitter.com/wVtztSQIAF

Is anyone else thinking that #TaylorSwift is about to have a Robin Sparkles moment? pic.twitter.com/8TtT0LsoDp

And others are making predictions about the track list.
Get ready y'all! #TaylorSwift new album is gonna be all about Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, Kanye + Kim! #Reputation
— Isabela (@CatsandCigs) August 23, 2017
I FEEL LIKE there's gonna be a song called "K" so she can call out Kim Katy and Kanye all in one song #reputation @taylorswift13
— Jane Theo (@janetheo03) August 23, 2017
A few people think some of the more minor details about the album might have major significance.
The choker looks right on her neck as if its choking which could symbolize how she felt when she was being attacked #TaylorSwift #Reputation pic.twitter.com/xoGpn4xl5t
— Taylor Swift Updates (@TaylorSwiftMore) August 23, 2017
But I wonder why did #TaylorSwift use Kanye's The Life of Pablo font for #Reputation?
— Scott / REPUTATION (@ScottSwifty13) August 23, 2017
And some just can’t help but wonder what Swift’s famous foes and industry rivals are thinking.

— alex. (@alexbrunosmusic) August 23, 2017
Personally, we agree with the opinion that any ongoing feuds are totally unnecessary…
Don't put women against each other!! I admire Katy for moving past this and hope Taylor does the same!
— VolfaninVa (@sandersdonna811) August 23, 2017
Either way, fans can’t wait to get this party on the road…

Same, TBH. We’re *so* ready for Taylor Swift’s new single to drop tomorrow night and for her full Reputation album on November 10.
