Taylor Swift Has Dropped A Heap Of Easter Eggs, And It Looks Like Drake’s On Her Album
This fan theory isn't even that far-fetched.
Regardless of her album era, there’s one constant when it comes to Taylor Swift: her love of teasing out details. And she’s left quite a few Easter Eggs out to hatch today — including some that seem to suggest that the Dixie Chicks, Selena Gomez and Drake feature on her new album.
In the latest issue of the US Entertainment Weekly, Swift has her first feature interview in three years. Overall, she’s pretty vague on details, but promises a “lot of a lot on this album” that cover an “emotional spectrum”. Hopefully that’s code for ‘songs that sound absolutely nothing like ‘ME!”.
That’s not really what’s captured the eyes of Swifties though. On the cover, Swift’s wearing a lot of button-pins on a denim jacket featuring some of her favourite things — Game of Thrones, Grey’s Anatomy, Friends characters, her cats — alongside a few pictures of musicians and potential song titles, like ‘Calm’ and ‘I Tried’.
There’s also pictures of Troye Sivan, Selena Gomez, Faith Hill and The Dixie Chicks, the last of who feature in the background of the cotton-candy video for ‘ME!’, via a framed picture. But it’s the Drake pin, a shot from his ‘Hotline Bling’ video, that has people talking — specifically, because it’s right next to a pin that says ‘Track 5’.
According to @EW, each of the buttons Taylor Swift is wearing on their magazine is an ‘Easter egg’. The artists included are Selena Gomez, Drake, Dixie Chicks, and more. Could these be collaborations on #TS7? pic.twitter.com/eXnwQEo2ZT

We’ll leave the Swifties to connect the dots, but this collab feels like a sure thing. And, better yet, we can’t imagine Drizzy dropping 16-bars over a song that sounds like a reject from a D-side Dreamworks animation, either.
Stans have done what they’ve do best and gone further down the rabbit hole, saying that the interview ‘confirms’ a double album, via a reference to Drake’s ‘Summer Games’, a cut from the exceedingly long Scorpion.
