Let the Games Begin! Here's Every Instagram Countdown Hint Taylor Swift Has Dropped — So Far
Are you ready for it?
After teasing fans on Friday with a date — April 26 — shared to her social media accounts and a countdown clock on her website ticking down to the mysterious day, Taylor Swift offered more clues that something big is on the horizon for her beloved Swifties.
On April 14, the 29-year-old Grammy winner posted another pastel-hued photo: a closeup of her brightly manicured hands, decked out with numerous colorful rings, resting on her yellow double-breasted blazer. The image bears the caption “4.26,” again referencing to date of the countdown.

She followed up the post with another image shared on the morning of April 15, this one showing what appears to be bright pink tulle. The caption is identical to the previous two Instagrams: “4.26.”

Fans around the world — including in Japan and Melbourne — have spotted billboards bearing the same aesthetic as her social media posts. They bear the URL “aprilTwentySix.com,” which redirects to the countdown clock on Swift’s website.
If it is indeed a single that is dropped on that date, Swift’s new music will be her first since leaving her longtime home Big Machine Label Group and moving over to Republic Records and Universal Music Group.
Fans — who understandably began freaking out — have been speculating for weeks that Swift was gearing up to release her seventh studio album.
