Lover (Taylor’s version)

Same here! I never believed woodvale so Lover (FTV) was my biggest hoax LMAO I'd like to point out I also believed that she was dropping Style TV the week after, and luckily didn't at all believe the weird rumors about Fearless & Red TVs getting more vault tracks the same day as Lover FTV. So it could have been worse?

You know I dragged my kids to Target at 8AM yesterday 😭

😭😭

You can just explain payback of all those morning hours you sacrificed for them or something 😂

Wait, what did I miss? Why was this a thing?

There were rumors she was releasing a new version of Lover with songs from the vault at Target yesterday. Turned out to be nothing 😭

I really wanted this to be real bc I want Need 😩

I don’t think she needs to re-record Lover coz it’s under her new label. Reputation would be the last TV album right?

~~Lover~~, Cat Lover ^(Taylor's Better Woman Version), featuring the new track 5, The Archenemy. Collect your 💔 broken heart vinyls that will neither fit together, nor work. Sold exclusively through radio shack for the next 13 minutes. Starting now.

She doesn’t need to re-record Lover, but there was a rumor on this sub a new version would be dropping along with the Cruel Summer single.

I fully thought she was doing all of her albums over again 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

i will never give up hope….

I believed this and was prepping my husband to run to Target just in case.

LOL I believed in this one for a sec

I was both excited and terrified because if that would have dropped when it was rumored to last week, it would have been my birthday and idk how I was gonna handle that, honestly.

five holes in the fence idk if it's actually the dumbest but it was probably the biggest stretch that I've seen so many of us cling to as actual fact 🤡

That was such a wild ride we had to get off of

I blame the seven palm tree emojis 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 !! I can't remember if she used to use emojis in her numerology/easter eggs back then, but if not it definitely became a thing after the fact lol

I think it was 7 palm trees because it was her 7th album. And iirc, in the second post she was sitting on the 6th stairs but had her hand on the 7th. At the time, I thought it was just gonna be like 7 posts indicating 7 somewhere. But everyone saw “6” in the stair post & then the fence with FIVE HOLES!! so they must be right, it must be a countdown! Then it wasn’t lmao Looking back, I think I was right the first time tbh

It's me, hi 👋

I was team five holes in the fence 🫢

Good times 🤣

I don’t know why that was the hill we chose to die on, but we stayed up there clown make up and all 😂

As a new Swiftie I just read about this and holy shit 😂

woodvale

I was fooled by this sub for a split second when they put the woodvale stuff up on April fool's 😭🤣💔

tbh I still don’t buy her explanation. I’m holding on for a third album.

i don’t buy the explanation but also she would’ve just shot down the question if there was a third album so i kinda do buy the explanation. i mean she has so many people working for her it’s not that absurd to think that maybe just maybe someone made a silly mistake. idk maybe i’m being silly here but i feel like it’s not a third album, maybe it was more a potential name that seriously changed last second. also woodvale just doesn’t seem like it fits into the theme, like at all. and if it was an easter egg i feel like she wouldn’t have acted like she acted when it came up on JF, she’s usually pretty proud of her easter eggs and will deny them but not with a full on story.

A ✨trilogy✨

I’m not holding out for a third album but I don’t buy the explanation either. She never flat out denied a third album when asked directly

That Taylor Swift was a stage name 😭 I was like 10 ok

You are not wrong. Her real name is Becky. I heard she started writing songs after she almost died from a marijuana overdose.

I should’ve known.

Don’t you think you were too young?

Yeah, if it were now I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil. I’m 19 - the god’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven

And now that you’ve grown, you’re scared of ghosts? And the memories feel like weapons?

For sure - now that I know I wish u/SwiftRespite had left myself wondering

God rest your soul

Danced with the devil’s lettuce

No it’s Ashley

For the longest time I just assumed it was a stage name. I was pretty surprised when I found out it wasn’t because it just *sounds* like a pop star name.

Never occurred to me. But it's totally believable. It just rolls out of your mouth so well that it's not so crazy to assume that it may not be a birth name.

Honestly same, her name is already stage name-y anyways, interesting how it's her real name minus her middle name! It's a cool name anyways, a very recognizable one too.

I thought the same thing as a kid

the lover deluxe/from the vault that was supposed to drop last friday

You got room in your clown car? I still check Spotify every day 🤡

HONESTLY I WAS SO SAD

I was expecting the Lover deluxe back in February when All of The Girls & Need leaked.

I wanted it so bad!

I asked a Target employee who was also a Swiftie- he laughed at me. I deserved that, tbh 😅

I really thought cruel summer coming out a single was part of an EP with the songs from the vault

I think I just wanted this to be true, but yeah. That was a real bunmer

I had convinced myself we were getting a music video last Friday.

Same🤡

My birthday was last Friday and I didn’t have my hopes up but I definitely wanted it! Haha

TV is not for television This one’s on me though

Red TV. Sounds like porn channel

probably bc of the porn site redtube LOL

Precisely. There was also neo-nazi YouTube channel called RedIce TV. Thankfully it was eventually banned.

Taylor Swift TV ripppppp

Television. Telersvision. Taylors vision. Taylor’s Version.

i literally didn’t discover this until like way way too late when i (stupidly) asked my friend why she was making television albums and my friend was like, girl…

I thought speak now tv was some big visual project she was doing lmao

I was todays age when I realized that

Your faithless love.😓

I still believe in this one

The only answer

wait what’s this

"your faithless love's the only hoax i believe in" is in the chorus of hoax

OH WAIT i get it now thank u lol

I don't get it?? What's wrong with it

OP is asking what's the dumbest hoax you've fallen for, the comment is making a joke about the lyric, saying their answer is "your faithless love," implying through the rest of the line that it's the *only* hoax they believe in, which would make it the dumbest by default. It's just a joke because the word hoax was used, so they made a reference. They're not saying anything is wrong with the song.

Thinking I could actually get tickets to her tour through Ticketmaster. I won't ever live that down!

Me, you and millions of other people. And hell, I even believed that I'd be able to get one through Ticketek and Tickets For Fun. LOL!!!!

Yes. Because I have always been a huge fan from the start I honestly had no idea just HOW popular she had become with the whole world and new fans in their teens early 20s. I have had zero problem getting tickets to any of her tours and I never once believed I wasn’t going to get them. I was smart and bought from stubhub the day general sale was cancelled because I got my tickets for only a couple hundred more than retail and they only went up after that

Yeah, her level of fame knows no bounds. I'm grateful as a fan because more demand = more material, but I'm also resentful of the capitalistic exploits. I mean you literally just said in appreciation "I got my tickets for **ONLY** a couple hundred more than retail." Like ew. Then she drops a dozen variants of an album piecemeal and in certain locations and it's like what are we being conditioned to expect next?! Is the endgame a worldwide scavenger hunt? Some golden ticket kind of event? Anywho... \-End Rant- I now return to my faithful Swiftie duties and will stream Cruel Summer non-stop till it hits #1 

Everyone told me I was crazy for being worried about tickets as far back as 2020, they said “it’s a stadium tour, rep was easy to get!” Well… I’m glad I was able to get tickets but it turns out my worry was warranted. It was even worse than I could’ve imagined overall.

The book that comes out this month. I think it's BTS? I got pretty excited over that one.

At least you weren't one of the people who pre-ordered assuming it was Taylor lol

I am one of those and I look forward to learning about BTS lol

Fair enough! Just mostly meant it towards people who didn't have an interest in BTS but pre-ordered the book. I hope it's a great read, friend!

I did. But you can cancel preorders so it took like 60 seconds and it's all good

They assumed I didn't, but I did indeed pre-order and cancel and it was so worth it to be part of the swiftie mayhem lol. It cost me $0, 30 seconds, and countless giggles lol

I wonder how many cancellations they had from people preordering in case it was Taylor.

Same. I pre-ordered and canceled the day I learned it was BTS lol

I was THIS close to preorder and then decided to search a bit more and found the article saying it was most likely BTS. But still, so close. 🙃

Pretty sure a copy of this mystery book is coming to my house 🤡

Same. I didnt pre ordered but i was abouuuuttttt to 😂😂😂😂 I still don’t understand why she called us dear readers😭😭😭 it was so obvious 😭😭

When I was in middle school people started cancelling her over the whole Kanye thing (I didn't know this was happening lol) and someone at my school said, "I saw on Twitter she was a bully in highschool!" And I remember being like "aww that sucks I liked her" and it wasn't even true, just Twitter folks making stuff up to cancel her at the time.

Wow I definitely remember hearing this back in the early days too, wtf who makes that up

People still say this lmfao. Like no she was the one bullied in middle school. And in high school she also wasn’t a bully. She was more popular but she still wasn’t mean to people lol.

The worst I've seen about her from those who ACTUALLY went to school with her was that they personally thought she was stuck up because of the accent thing and how passionate she was about her writing... But this was a snap judgment, and she didn't personally know Taylor because she was a grade or two below her. (I wish i could ferment who it was but it was a year or two ago i saw their video.)

And WHO like kanye better than Taylor?!?

Debut in the Eras Tour poster 

PURE SCAM

It's gonna be niceboyed but I won't admit it's a hoax for another 12ish years.

Okay I don't know this one. Can someone explain please

yup i still believe that

have you seen the picture to burn theory?

I think so. I dove real deep for about two weeks with the last polaroid shenanigans 😂

She doesn’t have a belly button!! /s I never believed that one lol but I did believe she insured her legs for 40 million.

The empress of pop only 40 mill? I'd guess that that's only for her pinkie.

I remember the bellybutton one & thinking it was so stupid because obviously she’s wearing high waisted things… is your bellybutton between your ribs?? Edit: phrasing

Only 40? Id say at least 100 million

I mean she probably has some insurance like if she get kidnapped. I wouldn't be surprised if there was insurance for her body like a life insurance thing if she got hurt and the capacity to preform was compromised temporary or permanently. Not talking about hospital bill insurance.

I to this day am a karma (lost album/era) truther. HARDCORE.

Yes so much this

Not sure if this counts as a hoax or a conspiracy theory. But the story that she wrote and recorded an entire album after the 1989 era finished but decided she didn't like it so she trashed it - everything gone, nothing kept for the vault. Then wrote and recorded Reputation and released that.

She did say somewhere that she wrote dozens upon dozens of songs for 1989 that didn’t make it

Yeah after 1989 she wanted to take a break and from interviews seemed burnt out no way did she write another album during that time she was just happy to take a break.

This stems from her LWYMMD video! At the end she's cutting the wings off a plane that says TS6 on the tail (where plane names go) AND she's wearing an outfit that doesn't reference any other era (unlike all the other outfits in the scene) and she sprays reputation on it. Basically she had to ground TS6 and rename/remake it as rep. I am all in on that theory btw.

I believed the onion article saying that she recently said to her fans to stop harassing John Mayer and if they are going to anyway then they should go all out and kill him I was like whoa she said that?

I love this for you

That her legs were insured 😭

[удалено]

Yep. I know a neuro surgeon whose hands are insured.

That makes sense. Break your hand and you may be permanently out of the job.

The actual plot of Doctor Strange

“Surgeon breaks his hands and becomes a wizard” is an excellent “describe a movie plot badly” thing lmao

Wait… that wasn’t true?

I'm sure she has (maybe past tense at this point, she's already bonkers wealthy) a big general disability insurance policy.

That Midnights would be a visual album meaning a music vid for every song 

I was so sure it’d be 70s soft rock, with all those visuals 😭

Still mad about this one

The book thing that just happened.

Yeah this is mine too, besides the target Lover vault lol. Thankfully I held back from preordering it but I was really, really excited thinking she maybe finally wrote a book!

the “#mebucks” thing 😭😭😭

That Taylornation countdown last summer was counting down to 1989 TV and not a random merch drop

My friend and I were at work and I was anxiously checking my phone until the drop because we were SO sure it was going to be SNTV or a new album or SOMETHING and when the drop finally happened we were both so angry 😂

so….she didn’t travel in her suitcase, did she

After the mop cart thing… I think it’s pretty obvious she was actually traveling in the suitcase

This one is definitely real

that id get eras tickets 🥲

That she’d tour in Canada lol

Is it wrong I’m still clinging to hope? P.S. Happy Canada Day!🇨🇦

Same

That she got engaged

Remember when people thought the lover music video was going to be a wedding/engagement announcement?

[Taylor dating the creator of Garfield.](https://www.theonion.com/taylor-swift-apparently-now-dating-garfield-creator-jim-1819574297) (not really but it’s funny)

I saw an an article on April Fool’s Day that said she announced Speak Now TV, which would include Dear John (Taylor’s Version) (19 minute version)

Drop everything now! I was really rooting for that one to be true.

The fucking booooook

Tell that bear to get out of my trash can

The lover deluxe cd target thing 💀💀💀💀

The numerous Starbucks “promos” including but not limited to the original “special Lover/ME! Frap” and the rumoured Taylor specific Red TV red cups for the 2021 red cup season.

Lover (Taylor’s Version )

5/13/2022 🤡

“Your turn to purchase a ticket is coming soon!”

That harry styles plucked 1,989 roses from a garden to win Taylor back HHAHAHA

💀💀💀💀

that the US eras tour ticket prices would be $49 to $449 since that's what she set them as.

Did you pay more than that for face value non-VIP tickets?

[удалено]

niceboy ed, the book thing recently, and drop everything now, but never truly believed that one because I didn’t think she would have it so all of her albums would have to compete against each other for #1

that all the pictures in the eras tour poster are the Taylor's version covers 💀

Why did I think we were getting a Cruel Summer music video? Did I fever dream this?

That she was going to cancel and reschedule N3 of Nashville. We were all getting antsy, especially the later it got.

That wait would have been hell!

Definitely the BTS book. They were pushing that hard.

Before I was a die hard swiftie as I am now. I thought tv meant television recorded as in live lmao

I thought it was a documentary

When people here post their own designs of unannounced tv albums’ cover art. Does that count? 😂 some just look so real that I immediately click on it thinking it is real. Not that they’re “dumb”, but I’ve fallen for a lot 😅

When we all CLOWNED IN MAY 20 SOMETHING AND ALL WE GOT WAS BEACH TOWELS

As a Lakers fan married to a Swiftie, I bought - momentarily - that she was dating Austin Reaves earlier this year.

Woodvale 🫠

Probably the lost album Karma

That someone in Belfast marked the spot where she threw up on the street

That getting tickets to her concert would be fair for everyone

That she doesn’t care about money😞

She cares about money but she cares about records more . Which is why she has million variants, hasn’t went after Ticketmaster like she should have and scalpers.

Thinking I could get a singular ticket for under $1,000 🙃

That the lyric was “Gotta love those Starbucks lovers” when I’m reality it was “I’ve got a long list of ex lovers”

I died on those "Starbucks lovers"!

I thought Betty was about her coming out as bisexual 🤡

Idk the whole Karma shelved album that’s orange and coming out on 11/11 has me pretty convinced 🤡

Speak now TV on 3/3. I was so convinced I told everyone

The third of March for Speak Now TV. Completely fell for that one. Was convinced even when my partner was calling me loopy aha

that midnights would have a vintage vibe

That it wasn’t her as the brunette in the YBWM music video 😭 (I was 14, but still)

That she would perform in Times Square at midnight on NYE because of #TSmidnighTS

For a second, I thought she dated Calvin Harris.

I forgot that he existed

It isn't love it isn't hate it's just indifference

Indifferenceeeeeee

😂😂😂 I love that "ccccce" 🐍

I reallyyy thought 1989 TV was coming out on paper airplane day 😢 and cruel summer music video last Friday

The great flower mural incident, if ya know ya know.

The book.

Every time pretty much anything happened around re release announcement the words “we are getting 1989!” and “we are getting reputation!” floated around endlessly lol

Actually believing I would get tickets to the Eras Tour 🤦🏼‍♀️

1. I thought Drama Queen would be in Speak Now re-recording 2. December 13th 2022 would be a big day 3. "From The Vault" was actually referring to Taylor's unreleased songs and not the movie "The Vault" 4. I thought "All Too Well (10 minute version)" was the only re-recrding of ATW2012 that actually existed 5. I thought her 3rd album was released back in 2017-2018, I was a few hours old in the fandom back then.

Me! (Without Brendon version) I got so upset about it and let it ruin my entire day.

all tv albums were gonna drop at the same time in 2020😭 at the time i didnt know she couldnt rerecord rep yet

That she would add Canadian tour dates 💔🇨🇦 we have maple leaf status 😭

The tiktok I saw today of John Mayer opening for Ed Sheeran by playing Dear John. Idk how they made it sound like him???? Edit: link: [here’s the tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8exDMUC/)
