Fans both speculated that 5 + 11 + 3 + 3 + 0 + 3 + 5 equals 30 – and that 30 days from the interview is on May 13 – and that 3 + 3 + 0 + 3 + 5 adds up to 14, leading to the next day, May 14th.
May 14 is a Friday, that’s when new music is released, so it’s more likely that something will fall that day. But we could ~ get an announcement the day before, on the 13th. This is how Taylor announced ‘Love Story (Taylor’s Version)’ in February.
In that case the date was 2/11 – and 2 + 11 is of course 13.
The song was included in the trailer for the film, which dropped last month – and if Taylor did re-record full albums at a time, it would suggest 1989 come next.
It would also make sense from a business perspective, as so many of the songs from 1989 – ‘Shake It Off’, ‘Blank Space’ and, of course, ‘Wildest Dreams’ – are very popular for use in movies, TV shows and commercials. The sooner she can license her own versions of the songs for use, the better.
Spirit untamed will be released in the US on June 4, so “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” may drop on the date or before.
Maybe on May 14th? Or maybe we’ll get ‘Shake It Off (Taylor’s Version)’ on that date and ‘Wildest Dreams’ in June? Maybe – hear me out – followed by the full 1989 (Taylor’s version) on June 25, which not only fits with my earlier theory over the 44 years and 179 days, but is also a Friday?
Maybe I’m just a jerk. This would not be the first time. But I’m a Swiftie – and 6/25 is 13.
