Taylor Swift fans convinced superstar sent them secret message after she bought back the rights to her music
After Taylor Swift announced that she had bought back the rights to her music, fans were convinced the singer sent them a secret 'signal.'
As Swifties celebrated by listening to the original versions of her popular hits, some people took to TikTok to claim that their Eras Tour LED wristbands had begun to light up again randomly.
Videos of flashing bracelets started to flood the platform with many excited fans hoping it was a secret message from the 35-year-old star.
One user shared a video holding their bracelet up to the camera.
'So, did everyone else's Eras Tour bracelets start blinking again today,' they asked, adding in the caption: 'Mother truly is a mastermind.'
Other fans in the comments chimed in on what it could mean.
'I'm obsessed with the theory that she sent out the Swiftie bat signal to let us know it was going to be a BIG day,' a user shared.
'It's the colors of all the albums she owns now!' someone else observed.
'The mothership is calling,' someone else wrote.
In another video, one fan wrote that they 'woke up to their Eras Tour wristband glowing' in their dark room, while another user shared: 'She sent the Swifty bat signal that she owns her masters,' as they held a glowing purple bracelet.
A fourth person held a bracelet blinking white and wrote: 'My bracelet from the Eras Tour is lighting up, she did it!!!!!!!'
Though fans were excited about Taylor's 'bat signal,' some people speculated what the blinking bracelets really meant.
TikTok user Millennial Mia explained that many fans kept the bracelets active by reinserting the plastic tab which prevents battery damage.
'There is no Swifty bat signal. These Swifties on here looking for views [pulled out the plastic tab to light up their bracelet],' she demonstrated in her video, 'All they did. All they did.'
She continued: 'Guys, I know we have a reputation - no pun intended - of being a little delusional and cuckoo, okay, as her fanbase, but that's really next level.'
'Knock it off with this,' she said, as she pulled the tab out of the bracelet again to make it blink purple and blue.
Taylor announced her big news with a post on Instagram and a long handwritten note on her website.
The Bad Blood crooner said the fact she now owns the rights to all the music she has ever made has brought so much joy to her life she's been bursting into tears.
She purchased her catalog of recordings that were first released through Big Machine Records. It has taken her six years to close the deal.
Taylor acquired those six albums and associated visuals from their most recent owner, Shamrock Capital, for an undisclosed nine-figure sum.
However, sources close to the contract negotiations claim the recent figure touted for the buy-back deal of 'between $600 million to $1 billion' is 'highly inaccurate.'
Scooter Braun told DailyMail.com, 'I am happy for her.'

S&P Global 'positive' on Wells Fargo as regulatory burden lifts
June 6 (Reuters) - S&P Global (SPGI.N), opens new tab upgraded its outlook on Wells Fargo (WFC.N), opens new tab to "positive" from "stable", the ratings provider said on Friday, after the U.S. bank was released from a $1.95 trillion asset cap earlier this week. The U.S. Federal Reserve's unprecedented, seven-year long punitive measure was imposed on Wells in 2018 and restricted balance sheet growth so the bank could address rampant governance and compliance concerns that had been brought to light in a fake accounts scandal in 2016. The Fed's unanimous decision on Tuesday capped years of efforts by the bank to repair the damage and pay off billions of dollars in fines, sending Wells Fargo shares to a three-month high a day later. The stock has gained nearly 8.3% in a year where the benchmark S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab has remained flat. "The positive outlook on the holding company reflects our view that Wells Fargo has substantially improved its underlying governance, risk, and control profile, allowing for the removal of the Fed's asset cap," said S&P. S&P also expects Wells to expand its commercial and investment banking business, "the unit most affected by the asset cap and one that had to turn away some nonoperational deposits from customers." While the fourth-largest U.S. lender was forced to carefully manage wholesale deposits and its markets business, assets of peer JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), opens new tab swelled by nearly $2 trillion since the start of 2018, while those of Bank of America (BAC.N), opens new tab and PNC Financial (PNC.N), opens new tab added about $1 trillion and nearly $200 billion, respectively.

Echo Valley: Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney star in the plot-twist thriller of the year
There are few plot devices more pleasing than a surprise whose shock value mellows into pure karmic satisfaction, and Echo Valley delivers the toe-wriggler of the year. This pensive, riveting Apple TV+ thriller performs a sort of narrative jiu-jitsu on its audience – using the weight of an early, straightforward twist as leverage in a second, more elaborate one, which cumulatively leaves the viewer breathless and giddy on the mat. Directed by Britain's Michael Pearce (of Beast and Encounter) and written by Mare of Easttown creator Brad Inglesby, Echo Valley would make a persuasive answer to the question 'in a Taken-like crisis, what if it fell to the mum, rather than the dad, to sort everything out?' By that I don't mean that this is a film in which Julianne Moore rampages around rural Pennsylvania cracking Albanian skulls. Rather, Moore's stoic single mother, horse trainer Kate Garrett, uses a particularly maternal set of skills – foresight, forbearance, meticulous planning, sound character judgement, and an ability to call in the perfect favour from her friendship circle at just the right moment – to extricate her troubled adult daughter from a hellish predicament. Said daughter Claire (Sydney Sweeney) is a drug addict, and her habit has yoked her to two undesirable men. One is her boyfriend and fellow user Ryan (Edmund Donovan); the other is the couple's reptilian dealer Jackie (Domhnall Gleeson, resplendently hideous), to whom the pair find themselves $10,000 in debt. With no hope of recouping the sum from Claire, Jackie tails the girl to her mother's shiningly bucolic and seemingly successful farm – which he decides to treat, via threats of violence and ruin, as an enormous, hay-strewn ATM. To his eyes, this woman clearly has money to spare. We know better, however: in a dry yet tender cameo, Kyle MacLachlan pops up as the successful former husband still shovelling four-figure cheques into this sun-dappled money pit which has come to stand for everything his ex holds dear. Echo Valley opens with half an hour of relatively low-key scene-setting drama that also delicately sketches in Kate's grief for her late female partner: enough to invest the more suspenseful remainder with enough emotional weight to make it really smack. As Claire, who in bomb terms is less shell than site, the often glamorous Sweeney has been pointedly cast against type. But Claire's complex mother-daughter relationship with Kate – strained well beyond breaking point, yet still determinedly, impossibly unsnapped – is deftly handled by both actresses. In a brilliantly underplayed early scene, the two go swimming at an idyllic local lake, which later serves as a nexus for various murky developments. Kate watches her girl playing happily with some younger children, and Moore's unspoken anguish – if this is her now, why can't it be her always? – vibrates silently through the moment. Inglesby wittily repurposes such modern plot-wreckers as mobile phone tracking and instant messaging into real dramatic assets, while as a director, Pearce is a savvy stylist who knows exactly when to rein things in: imagine Jacques Audiard with a cricket conscience perched on his shoulder whose only job is to say 'steady on'. The outrageous yet methodical nature of Kate's rescue plan for her daughter is, therefore, an ideal fit for him. Echo Valley is nothing like a conventionally air-punchy film, but you can't help but cheer the whole enterprise on.
