TS11 Easter eggs we missed
Dear Reader, now that we know the new Era is upon us, let's dive into missed Easter eggs. she’s been hinting at it for years, imo. But let's look at the most obvious one first,
The karma cup it showed a latte with a clock design between a blue nail and a black nail. But between the nails… the clock is in the 11th hour, and on top of being in the 11th hour, the hands show two minutes to midnight - another metaphor but for the doomsday clock/catastrophe.
there is a saying about the “11th hour” symbolizing the last possible time to do or change something before it’s too late.
TS11 was wedged between 1989 and reputation this whole time 🤡
ALSO, KARMA IS THE 11TH TRACK ON MIDNIGHT The tour ends with Karma—the eleventh song on midnights!" I knoww biggest stretch, but I'm flexing like a goddamn acrobat🤷🏻♀️ (sorry, I just had to use that karma reference 🤣🤣)
On the eras tour, when she’s sitting at the piano and speaking, she said something like “a tour to cover 5 albums” and TPD would be the 5th! (Not counting re-recordings)
I just remembered that people said she changed her pfp to black and white at 11am (eastern time, the timezone she uses for album releases and such), and we thought the significance was 13 hours before midnight… didn’t even cross my mind that it could be 11 for TS11!
The time magazine cat cover is a two-fold hint
• she's wearing all black in that photo, and the cat wrapped around her is naturally white
• THE CAT - april 19th is National Cat Lady Day
(And we all thought it was giving rep🤡)
The ATW 10min mv ended with Taylor releasing a book. TS11 has been called a manuscript, which is what you call your own book if you’re an author. Also, now we know she wrote YLM during the Red TV era.
During the Red TV press time, she said in one of the late night interviews, "Can I hint at something three years in advance? Can I even plan things out that far? I think I'm going to try to do it.
I think Dear Reader is also a pretty heavy nod to her as an author.
Midnights 3am ending with Dear Reader, and now we have a very "writer coded" new album to look forward to.
And she played Dear Reader as the surprise song after she said that the Tokyo show was the "back up plan" to announce TTPD, so she must have a link with Dear Reader.
You know how every album has a song that reflects the past record and a song that foreshadows the next... it must be Dear Reader for sure.
This video has the same filter almost as TTPD branding, and it was posted in November 2021 👀 a month before you’re losing me was written.
I saw it in a comment on TikTok that she posted in this rehearsal outfit that looks almost identical to what she’s wearing on TTPD’s cover but but but I think the shirt might be different. In the pic she’s doing that movement with her arms that kind of looks like the Aries symbol ♈️ The last day of Aries season is April 19, the same day she releases TTPD. (A stretch, maybe)
12/5/21 is so pleasing to the eye. Very symmetrical. Also, the numbers add up to 11 (No, because he says "Midnights sessions" 😂)
I thought it meant rep TV because of "sss" snake hissing, but now I know that 4 capitalized S's. And S is the 19th letter. So April because of the 4th month and 19th because of the S's.
And I thought the R was caps for Rep, but maybe for release.
TTPD logo is interesting:
starting off with the clearest one, it spells out TS 11. This is definitely intentional given the smooth curves on the rounded part of the "P"” This is also the most obvious reason why the article is included in the logo
2. next is the tear drop or comma (or a quotation mark) at the end. the tear metaphor is obvious. the comma could signify that she's continuing the story (from midnights) / isn't done talking. It also looks like half of the yin/yang or pisces symbols (we all know who's a pisces)
3. Maybe a coincidence but too good of a coincidence. See the logo. Upside down, it says cail. If you Google Irish cáil the first result will be reputation. 🤡 (Google it)
Is TS11 a trilogy?
There are a lot of theories going on about how TTPD is a possible trilogy (the logo also has Roman number III in it if you look closely)
Now I've 4 theories of that
● Yes, maybe it's a trilogy
Midnights
TTPD
TS12???
(Because of Dear Reader, I feel like it has a better relation to Midnights than folklore and evermore)
● Yes, trilogy, but what if it's like The Trilogy of Love and Poetry
3. The Tortured Poets Department: The Manuscript
2. ???
1. The Tortured Poets Department: The Manifesto
(If you're confused, the manifesto came "from the desk of Taylor Swift" reference)
● It's one of the 3 albums relasing this year.
3. TTPD
2. Rep (tv)
1. Debut (tv)
● It has 3 editions like midnights
Manuscript, Monograph, and Manifesto
What is with Taylor and the "2"s lately?
I shared this theory on my pinterest 2 days a. After that taylor did the same thing again. she held up 2 before starting eyes open like she did at the grammys.
This above theory could also be possible, but what if it’s a 2 TTPD music videos easter egg?
OR MAYBE THIS WHOLE 2 THING IS JUST A COINCIDENCE.
Full disclaimer: sharing this theory doesn't mean I don't appreciate TTPD, so please don't come at me with that. 🤷🏻♀️
Tokyo N4 Surprise guest is Ed
We all know Ed is in tokyo. Tomorrow is the last Tokyo show. The possibility of him coming as a surprise guest is 100%
🕯🕯Manifesting🕯🕯
That's all for the day… “Until next time…
🎶Stay beautiful 🎶

guys the TTPD logo upside down looks like CAIL and cail in irish is reputation and rightside up like u said has TS 11 in it so t is the 20th letter and s is the 19th so i think rep tv is gonna be announced on november (11th month) 20th or 19th and be released on new years day (since the song on rep) thats js my theory so
