2. Track 2: Opalite

3. Track 1 & the Album cover
Track 1 of the album is named The Fate of Ophelia, referencing the painting Ophelia’s Death. You don’t have to look closely to see the striking similarities between the painting and the album cover. Taylor Swift recently went on the New Heights podcast and mentioned how this album is the behind the scenes from her Eras tour. She also mentions the number 47 multiple times during the podcast. Most Swifties believe this has to do with Act 4 Scene 7 of Hamlet where Ophelia dies off screen. Did she die because of madness or was she driven to kill herself due to the trauma she endured? Could this relate to how Taylor Swift felt behind the closed curtains of the Eras tour?
4. Reputation Vault Tracks
One Swiftie noticed sparkly cracks on the cover of the new album on Apple Music, these sparkly cracks were very reminiscent of the Reputation set during the Eras tour. In this new album, Taylor Swift enlisted the help of the very same producers she used for Reputation. Many swifties believe that this will soon crack open the Reputation vault and Taylor Swift will release some of the hidden tracks from that era.
5. Charli XCX Diss Track
In 2024 Charli XCX released her sensational album BRAT, which contained a track named Sympathy Is a Knife. Many fans speculated this song was a diss track aimed at Taylor Swift and her fleeting relationship with Matt Healy. In this new album, Taylor Swift might have clapped back at Charli XCX with the track Almost Romantic. Almost Romantic has lyrics which almost directly respond to Charli XCX’s track Sympathy is a Knife.
