Taylor Swift sent her Swiftie sleuths into overdrive on Thursday morning (August 5) when she released a cryptic 30-second video teaser filled with a series of 13-letter word jumbles floating out of a gilded safe amid swirling copper-colored leaves. The message accompanying the tweet was similarly packed with wink-wink, nudge-nudge clues that will likely be quickly deciphered by the singer’s legendarily detail-oriented superfans.
It didn’t take long for Swifties to start pulling out some potential clues from the word salad, including teasing out what appeared to be the name of singer Phoebe Bridgers, as well as the words “Ronan,” “nights,” “you,” “better man,” “winner,” “bottle,” “forever,” “nothing,” “message” and “stones,” with many guessing that the jumbles are part of a crossword puzzle.
