As the Kelce siblings wonder what's inside, she unlocks the briefcase and pulls out the vinyl of her new project, The Life of a Showgirl.

In the aftermath of the album announcement, a new fan page on X, 'Ashley is ready for TS12,' has posted a thread of all the TS12 Easter eggs that Tay's fans might have missed. Here's a detailed look at all of them.

Swift allegedly began leaving hints about her upcoming album as early as 2024. Last year, on December 8, during the final show of her Eras Tour in Vancouver, Swift exited the stage through an orange door.

Since Tay's website shows mint green and orange as the colors for her new album, the orange door at her show serves as the first Easter egg.

In one of the videos Swift posted on Instagram in October 2024 with her cat, the singer was seen walking into a stadium where the A12 section was clearly visible. This section could have been a hint at the date when Swift planned to release the cover art of her 12th studio album, which is Tuesday, August 12, at 12:12 am.
