Taylor Swift Has Us Searching For Clues All Over The World - Day 4 Recap (Wednesday)
If there's one thing we can take away from yesterday's antics, it's that there are TWOS EVERYWHERE. Two, two, two. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
In order for us to seemingly find out the big mystery, we've been doing multiple word searches/scrambles. The origin of these "twos" will allegedly be revealed at...2pm TODAY? But first we need to backtrack. Let's start off with the easy updates from the day (go ahead and check out day 2 and day 3 if you're behind):
The lyric word search - new word: WE

Found within "We Were Happy," a Fearless (TV) song, "WE" moves to the front of the line to make the current statement:
WE HEREBY CONDUCT THIS POST ____
We still don't know the rest, but we will definitely find out today. Post Mortem meeting? Post Malone Music Video? At this point, we have no idea what's in store here but it's been a blast searching through songs and lyrics on Apple Music to figure out whatever this is going to be. This post by Taylor Nation included a major clue as to which album the song came from, if you check the bottom right corner of the end of that video, the Fearless (TV) Vault Key is in there. Unbelievable lol.
On top of this word search, we've also been following QR codes around the world to decode something else…
Codes have popped up in all of these cities. Weirdly we still have ZERO boots on the ground for two of them, but it doesn't really matter now because the message is obvious: FOR A FORTNIGHT. What do we do with this information? Of course, we head over to

And we find a countdown that ends at 2pm EST, today. MORE TWOS! People are thinking this could be a merch drop, a teaser video for the album (similar to what she did with Midnights:)
Hardcore theorists think it'll be some kind of double album announcement and to that I say? Don't be greedy. We will greet whatever comes at 2pm today with as much excitement as anything else this week, and WE'RE GONNA LIKE IT!
My only complaint…..Brooklyn? Really, Taylor? You sing about 20 different places in Manhattan and you choose a bar backyard two blocks from Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg to give us the code? Be honest with me….did Joe ruin NYC for you? We ride at dawn if he did.
Now moving on over to the pop up at The Grove in LA, we got a few more absolutely cutting lyrics, and some slight changes in the decor:

JEEZ LOUISE! Wow. If we didn't think there was cheating before with all of the heavy handed hints, we're being hit over the head with it now. Here are all the Manuscript (the book, not the song) lyrics that we've gotten so far:
Even statues crumble, when they're made to wait
One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen
Lost the game of chance, what are the chances?
As she was leaving, it felt like breathing
CHILLS UP OUR SPINES! I also may have hallucinated but I swear to god I saw someone tweet that there was a new peace sign hand statue at the pop up, the original one being white and the newer one being black. Leans into the whole "double album," "two" theory but of course - NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS!!!
Another new theory people are shopping around is this one about this entire thing being a dissertation of sorts. I think it's brilliant actually:
Is it crazy that I don't want all the fun to end? Like, I want the new album. I need to hear it. However, it's been really fun scrambling around the internet to find clues and make guesses and chit chat about different hypotheticals. Isn't that what being a Swiftie is all about? Coming together to worship our zodiac killer favorite pop star?

ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS. Give Taylor Watch a listen in the meantime, we go IN for nearly 2 hours on the week at large. We will also be going LIVE on Instagram and Tiktok at 9pm EST tonight, to discuss any new hints/drops that happen leading up to the release at midnight. Our live reaction to the album will be out Friday morning!
