It’s Taylor Swift Vs. the Solar Eclipse and Her Fans are Freaking Out

Just when you thought nothing could top last night’s Game of Thrones episode and today’s Solar Eclipse, Taylor Swift pulls the most Taylor Swift move, sending her fans into a frenzy. A few days after wiping out all of her social media accounts, Swift released a short video early this morning that seems to depict some sort of snake tail.

This naturally gave Swifties the impression that her new album or a new single would definitely be dropping on the same day as the Solar Eclipse, symbolizing her stepping into a new and completely refreshed light. Many also made comparisons to that time when she was trolled on Instagram with the snake emoji after Kim Kardashian released those Snapchat videos of her approving Kanye’s song.

So now fans think that she is taking that backlash and running with it.

It’s definitely a plausible theory for someone like Swift who loves using symbolic gestures and themes throughout her albums.

What’s even better is all of the tweets her fans are sending out about how extra it is that she’s upstaging the phenomenon without even really doing anything.

Taylor Swift trying to one up the Solar Eclipse is the most Taylor Swift move of all time. Back on that bullshit.

The solar eclipse is cancelled due to Taylor Swift tweeting a gif of a snake & coming to take over the world, thanks for your understanding.
