It isn’t the first time either that Taylor has driven the internet wild. In early August, she released a cryptic video asking fans to try and decipher the titles of songs that had previously been unreleased.
Fans were quickly on the case with one TikTok going viral for breaking down the song names in a word search.
On TikTok too, a viral lookalike made waves after people thought a nurse from Nashville, Tennessee might have been Swift in disguise. Taylor Swift isn’t the only musician to be on TikTok with the likes of Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, Lil Nas X, and Billie Eilish all having significant platforms on the app.
