Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department has now spent a full week dominating the charts. The album is smashing records left and right, garnering over one billion streams since its release on April 19.
Swift is set to return to her massive, record-breaking Eras Tour in May, with the European leg of the tour beginning in Paris on May 9.
Fans are wondering if Swift's latest album will make it onto the setlist.
Swift uploaded a YouTube short to her channel late on Thursday night. Shot in black and white, the 15-second video follows her in different stages of sound checking and preparing for the Eras Tour. Swift is pictured strumming her guitar, playing a vine-covered piano, singing and dancing around.
Fans of the pop phenomenon noticed one particular element that may hint at what Swift has in store: a railing at the edge of the stage.
Eagle-eyed Swifties spotted a curve in the railing resembling the logo of The Tortured Poets Department. The symbol smashes the letters "TTPD" into one, blending the two T's together and putting the letter "P" within the letter "D."
"THE RAILING HAS THE TTPD LOGO" wrote one Swiftie on X. His thoughts were echoed by other fans who spotted the supposed TTPD symbol.
"Oh my god that's the TTPD logo on the railing WHAT DOES THIS MEAN," she wrote.
Others mused that the railing actually resembles a bed frame.
"Looks like a bed not a rail," posted one netizen.
"My prevailing theory is that this little TTPD railing is actually a bed frame meant to be the bed in fortnight," said another.
"Fortnight ft. Post Malone" is the record's first single, which Swift and Post Malone have been promoting across their social media accounts. The black-and-white music video features Swift laying in a bed with no mattress, only a frame.
Other fans noticed that Swift's YouTube short also featured new outfits and different choreography from previous shows.
The singer may use songs off of The Tortured Poets Department as one, or both, of her secret surprise songs during a show. Swift plays two acoustic "surprise songs" at each concert. She's covered old hits like "Speak Now" and "Teardrops on My Guitar" as well as newer songs like "Now That We Don't Talk" and "mirrorball."
"Do we think instead of the secret songs at the eras tour we'll get songs from ttpd???" wrote a fan on X.
The popular account Taylor Swift Updates asked fans, "If she adds this era to the set list, what songs do you hope make it?"
Popular replies included "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" and "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart."
Only time will tell if Swift's inescapable The Tortured Poets Department will make its way into her three-hour concert experience. The European leg of the Eras Tour is set to take the singer across the continent from May until mid-August.
