Taylor Swift fans are convinced the songstress is coming out with new music very, very soon!
While they’re not wrong — we’ll get to that further down — Swifties not only believe she’s working on a Christmas album, but that it’ll be released in just a few short weeks!
So, where did this conspiracy theory begin?? Well, Taylor can thank herself!

On Tuesday, the 29-year-old took to Instagram with a selfie after returning from a trip to Japan, writing along with it:
“According to my jet lag it is one hundred o clock celsius.”
What seemed like a joke in her caption actually had one fan deciphering an album release date! The Twitter user wrote:
“Taylor ‘one hundred o’clock celcius’
100 celcius is 212 Fahrenheit
2/12 = 2nd December@taylorswift13 @taylornation13 F**KING CHRISTMAS ALBUM?! Confirm.”
Many others jumped on the December 2 bandwagon, looking at her Lover album for any and all Easter eggs alluding to a Christmas album!

So… remember when Taylor said the Christmas tree was an Easter egg? It might be because of the rumored Christmas album. We thought it was because "we could leave the Christmas lights up till January" but… They're was already a Lover Easter egg, so… idk TS8 COMING 🎄🤡 pic.twitter.com/xipb614xnN

Honestly, knowing how Tay is with dropping hints in music videos, these followers really might be onto something!
Or they could just be getting hyped over nothing… Regardless, you can see how some of them are reacting (below):

Another tweeted:
“In the next weeks i have literally 12 exams and now Taylor’s doing all of this?? I won’t make it to christmas”
Meanwhile, one user urged Taylor to drop holiday music, writing:
“taylor swift you better release a Christmas album so we kick depression and anxiety’s asses thank you”
But the imagery of a country Christmas EP from Taylor really had us going:
“imagine sitting around the Christmas tree, a blanket around your shoulders and a cup of hot chocolate in your hands while you listen to the new country taylor swift christmas album”
Even if T. Swift has no plans currently, she should really consider the idea, as one follower tweeted:
“I feel like Taylor’s gonna log in and see us losing our minds over a rumor and be like ‘well s**t, guess I better go record a Christmas song real quick'”
LOLz!
But as we previously mentioned at the very beginning, fans did get what they begged for when they asked for new music, this time, in the form of a Lover duet with Shawn Mendes!

The singers dropped the collab on Wednesday morning, with the country-turned-pop star announcing it on her IG:
Take a listen!
Shawn, who comes in on the second verse, jumps in with his own lyrics, singing:
“We can light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen baby / Pictures of when we were young, would hang on the wall / We would sit on the stoop, I’ll sing love songs to you when we’re eighty / See I finally got you now, honey, I won’t let you fall.”
He later adds:
“Look in my eyes they will tell you the truth / The girl in my story has always been you / I’d go down with the Titanic it’s true, for you.”
This collab will go down in the books, for sure!!
Thoughts on Lover?? Or really any of it? Sound OFF in the comments!!
