Taylor Swift’s Low-Key Selena Gomez Shoutout Has Fans Wondering if Something Big Is Brewing.

Taylor Swift’s superpower? Making the world lose its collective mind over an Instagram Story. After 100 days without a grid post (her last one closed out the Eras Tour in December) and 65 days of Story radio silence, Swift kicked back into social mode. Not to gush about her latest ski trip with Travis Kelce and NFL Reporter Erin Andrews, but to shout out her best friend, Selena Gomez, and Selena’s fiancé Benny Blanco’s new album, I Said I Loved You First.
And true to her ultra-methodical form, Swifties knew this wasn’t just another promo post. Taylor’s love-filled caption, “I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD,” wasn’t just a simple post giving some BFF love. Namely, the 12 extra D’s at the end of “GOD” had fans diving deep into theories.

Why 12? For newcomers, here’s a crash course on Swiftian lore: Numbers aren’t just numbers in Swift’s world, they’re Easter eggs. “12” is famously tied to major milestones, like December, her birthday, and some of her iconic album releases. Could 12 be a nod to something big, like Reputation (Taylor’s Version)? Or was she just embracing the multiple letter ending to really emphasize the love of the new tunes? Even though fans have been left empty-handed with previous hints at this particular Taylor’s Version, some are still holding out with Swift’s latest social media move.
