Fans Think Taylor Swift's New Album Could Be Called 'Eclipse' And Could They Have A Point?

Either way, her latest announcement pretty much eclipsed the actual eclipse.

Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - 08:45

If anyone was going to upstage the solar eclipse then of course it was going to be Taylor Swift, who took to the internet to drop a very curious little teaser yesterday, essentially hinting that she is probably very much about to make a musical comeback.

But while the reptilian nature of the glitchy looking teaser had everyone theorising that she could be making a point about the criticism that she received from Kim Kardashian last year for so-called 'snakey' behaviour, fans have a slightly more interesting thought which just so happens to involve a theory that the new album could be called 'Eclipse'.

Check out Taylor Swift's video for Out of The Woods below...

Looking at it now
It all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch
I remember

You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered
(Then discovered)
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
(Are we out of the woods?)

Looking at it now
Last December
(Last December)
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together
(Back together)

Ooh, your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided, we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
And I remember thinking

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
(Are we out of the woods?)

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
Twenty stitches in a hospital room
When you started crying, baby, I did too
But when the sun came up, I was looking at you

Remember when we couldn't take the heat?
I walked out, I said "I'm setting you free"
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up you were looking at me

You were looking at me, oh
You were looking at me
(Are we out of the woods yet?)
(Are we out of the woods yet?)
(Are we out of the woods yet?)
(Are we out of the woods?)

I remember
(Are we in the clear yet?)
(Are we in the clear yet?)
Oh, I remember

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet? (Yeah)
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? (Yeah)
Are we in the clear yet? (Yeah)
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good

A large portion of the world might have gone dark when the moon passed over the sun yesterday, but for Swifties it lit right up thanks to Taylor FINALLY hinting that she's ready to drop her sixth album, known affectionately to fans as 'TS6' until we have a proper name.

As well as the curious timing of the announcement being in the hours leading up to the solar eclipse, there are a few other signs that have led a bunch of Swifties to come up with a quite compelling theory that the album could be space-themed in some way.

Ready for a trip down the T-Swiz album theory rabbit hole?

First up we have fan tshifty, who has this epic masterpost laying out all the subtle hints you might just have missed...

Pretty curious, right?

There's also this Instagram, which an exec from Taylor's record label apparently posted last year and which just so happens to show the exact time the eclipse was at its peak in New York yesterday.

But what do you reckon? Is this all coincidence or is there something extraterrestrial going on?
