Taylor Swift Celebrates New Album Announcement With Dinner in NYC
In what world would a dinner be an easter egg, you ask? Well, on Wednesday, fresh off the release of Taylor's New Heights podcast episode (where she debuted the name of her new album, the tracklist, and the album art), the singer was spotted with pals Ashley Avignone and Owen Thiele. According to Page Six, the three enjoyed a quiet dinner at Casa Cipriani in NYC.
Innocent enough, right? I think not!
Fans weren't shocked to see Ashley at the dinner, considering she and Tay have been friends for over a decade...but the fact that she was hanging out with the breakout star of Overcompensating and Adults caught some fans off guard. However! Taylor and Owen actually go way back. Like, all the way to her 'You Need to Calm Down' music video back.
In 2019, Owen made a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in the video for 'You Need to Calm Down,' as evidenced by an IG post he made. 'IM NOT CALM. Taylor is a goddess genius but we all knew that,' he captioned his pics. 'Watch her new vid for YNTCD now!! I'm in it for a second and you might miss me but it was genuinely the role of a lifetime.'
The following year, he made an appearance in her video for 'The Man.' Ahem:
Could this mean we'll be seeing Owen in a new video soon? He also appeared in Sabrina Carpenter's A Nonsense Christmas special, so starring in Sabrina and Taylor's 'The Life of a Showgirl' video would be quite the full circle moment!
See? I told you there was a easter egg in there, but that's just one Swiftie's opinion.

Taylor Swift's Album Of The Year Winner Returns Amidst New Music Excitement
Taylor Swift has made it abundantly clear that the latter half of 2025 will belong to her. The singer-songwriter recently announced a new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and in short order shared both its brightly-hued cover and its October 3 release date. Before any music from her latest era has been released, speculation about a new chapter has helped many of Swift's most popular projects rise in the United Kingdom, and one of her more recent sets returns to the most important list. Midnights Returns to the U.K. Albums Chart Midnights finds its way back to the Official Albums chart, the U.K.'s list that details the 100 most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country. This frame, Swift's bestseller reenters at No. 92. Folklore, The Tortured Poets Department, Reputation and Lover With Midnights back on the all-encompassing Official Albums chart, Swift now claims five wins this week. Her other four titles — Folklore, The Tortured Poets Department, Reputation, and Lover — all climb from where they sat last time. This frame, they appear at Nos. 34, 49, 72, and 75, respectively. Midnights Spent Five Weeks at No. 1 Midnights has not been absent from the Official Albums chart for long. The project last appeared in late June of this year, ending a years-long winning streak that began in May 2023. Swift launched Midnights at No. 1 in November 2022. The project spent five frames leading the tally and a total of 57 turns somewhere between Nos. 1 and 10. Half a Dozen Streaming Successes As Midnights returns to the Official Albums chart, it also improves on the Official Albums Streaming ranking, pushing from No. 92 to No. 84. Swift fills half a dozen spots on that roster, as all five of her titles that live on the main albums tally are also streaming winners. 1989 also joins in on the run, as it rises from No. 99 to No. 97 on the streaming-only list, but fails to reenter the main albums list. Midnights Produced Eight Hit Songs Eight songs from Midnights reached the Official Singles chart during promotion of the title, but only 'Anti-Hero' but No. 1, where it spent six frames. 'Snow on the Beach,' her collaboration with Lana Del Rey, and 'Lavender Haze' also spent time inside the top 10, peaking at Nos. 4 and 3, respectively. Including deluxe editions of the full-length, the project produced additional top 40 wins like 'Karma,' 'Hits Different,' and 'You're Losing Me.'

Why Is Taylor Swift's New Era Orange?
We're still coming down from Taylor Swift's almost two hour appearance on New Heights, and honestly there's a lot to parse through. The top notes? Taylor gushed about Travis Kelce, revealed The Life of a Showgirl tracklist, chatted about buying her masters, and exposed her easter egg secrets. But she also explained why she chose orange—specifically "Portofino Orange" as the official color for her new era. "I've just always liked it, Jason," Tay told Jason Kelce. "It feels like kind of energetically how my life has felt. And this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant." The Grammy-winner also spoke about THE orange door she left through during the final Eras Tour show, which fans have been speculating about forever. "I would leave the stage every night going down the elevator lift. That's how every single Eras Show ended, except for one, except for the last one, where I exited through a door, an orange door to be specific," Taylor said. "And that actually was an Easter egg. Basically, the reason why I chose to exit that way is because I kind of wanted to give a little subliminal hint to the fans that I may be leaving the Eras Tour era, but I was also entering a new era... I was pretty happy that they noticed that. I was like, trained them well." More from Tay's debut podcast episode below!
