Taylor Swift fans spot 'exciting' announcement clue amid rumours of a new album

Taylor Swift has announced her international tour dates, with the Anti-Hero hitmaker taking to the stages of packed stadiums in Ireland, Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, Spain and France in 2024.

And now fans are convinced that the American singer, 33, is about to announce something huge – and it's not relating to her tour.

Eagle-eyed Swifties have appeared to find a glitch in the way in which Instagram works with scheduled posts.

Fans have pointed out how Taylor's Instagram page currently has 587 posts, but when you search her Instagram on Google, it says she has posted 588 times.

This has led fans to believe that Taylor has scheduled a post to go out soon, with many thinking that the post could relate to a new album. Yes, just days before Speak Now (Taylor's Version) is due to drop.

"It seems like Taylor Swift has an Instagram scheduled post, in the browser you can see schedule posts that’s aren’t public yet," penned one fan page on Twitter.

While someone else said: "Instagram now says Taylor has 588 posts when her account has 587. This usually happens when Taylor is about to post..."

Not only this, but Taylor's HQ account Taylor Nation shared a snap of Taylor from the Lover era in 2019 on the day of the summer solstice, declaring it a "Cruel Summer".

Cruel Summer is a single from Taylor's 2019 album Lover, with the track recently released onto radio stations.

Speaking about the song at a recent gig Taylor said: "Cruel Summer was on the Lover album. That album came out four years ago. And I just need to let you know something: Cruel Summer, that song was my pride and joy on that album.

"You have conversations before the album comes out. Everybody around weighs in on what they think should be singles. I was finally, finally about to have my favourite song become the single — off of Lover."

And just days later on June 20, Republic Records started promoting Cruel Summer on radio stations.

But because of this – and other Easter eggs that fans have spotted – there is speculation that the singer could release a deluxe version of her Lover album as we approach the four-year anniversary of it being released.

When Taylor Nation shared the Lover era photo and teased a "Cruel Summer", fans went wild, with many believing the post was hinting at Love Deluxe coming out this Friday.

"She posted this picture in 2019 when she was teasing about the lover era and now Taylor nation posted it maybe they are teasing the Lover Deluxe oh my f***ing god guys Lover deluxe truthers rise," penned one fan.

Another said: "Guys the photo is from 2019 when Taylor was teasing the ts7 era aka Lover."

Elsewhere online, fan theory is rife that Taylor will release "Lover (From The Vault Edition)" on June 23, with it including all previous tracks as well as three unheard "vault" tracks.

"Oh we’re definitely getting that Lover Deluxe YALL GET UPPPP," penned one fan on Twitter today.

While another joked: "Does Taylor know she’s releasing Lover Deluxe tomorrow?"

And a third penned: "So are we clowning for lover deluxe tonight?"
