Starbucks uses lyrics from Taylor Swift's new song to promote the new Starbucks Blue Raspberry Cloud Frappuccino

Was the launch of the new Starbucks Blue Raspberry Cloud Frappuccino the perfect coincidence or a well-thought-about Easter egg? Swifties have been speculating that the chain has used lyrics from the new song Cruel Summer in a new promotional campaign for the new Blue Raspberry Cloud Frappuccino.

The campaign poster that has left fans going crazy for the drink reads:

"It's new and its...Blue."

While there has been no confirmation of a partnership between Taylor Swift and the coffeehouse chain, fans are wondering if the chain's a Swiftie. On top of the rumored lyrical campaign, the new drink also runs high on the blue color, giving fans another hint of its resemblance to The Eras Tour.

Soon after the official Twitter page for the singer's tour posted about the drink, fans across the globe couldn't help but take the new Starbucks Blue Raspberry Cloud Frappuccino as Taylor’s drink.

As of now, the Twitter post has received over 3,466 retweets, 178 comments, and more than 37.4k likes. From asking the chain if they are a Swiftie to sharing how they want to try it at the earliest, fans have been continuously showering the tweet with tens and hundreds of comments.

While most fans are excited about the new drink, there have also been those who either think it's fake or such a drink does not exist.

However, the new Blue Raspberry Cloud Frappuccino is already available to order on the Starbucks UK website at https://www.starbucks.co.uk/menu/product/191667. The new drink can also be ordered through several delivery partners, including Uber Eats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo. Sadly, the new and refreshing frappucino does not seem to be available in markets other than the United Kingdom.
