Taylor Swift may have just dropped a subtle hint about her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl—and fans think it involves none other than Lady Gaga.
After announcing her highly anticipated 12th studio album, Swift has reportedly been liking fan posts suggesting secret connections between her new project and Gaga. The timing is uncanny: Lady Gaga released her hit “Applause” exactly 12 years ago on August 12, the same day Taylor announced her album.
“Is this just the most insane coincidence, or is she clinically insane?” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Taylor liked the post, fueling speculation that the Easter egg was planned years ago.
