The night is sparkling, and in true Taylor Swift fashion, the pop icon made her recent music announcement during a Swiftie-coded cosmic event.
At exactly 12:12 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, Swift announced her 12th studio album, Life of a Showgirl, on her website. She also teased the cover reveal on the upcoming episode of her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, which he hosts with his brother Jason.
It didn’t take long for eagle-eyed Swifties to point out the perfect timing of the announcement. The news came at the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower, a celestial event linked to — are you ready for it? — the Swift-Tuttle comet.
A new era is coming, and the Grammy award winner knows exactly how to grace her fans with one cryptic Easter egg at a time.
From the 12:12 timestamp and numerical symbolism to the meteor shower of stars — what if I told you there was more astrology to this star-studded announcement?
Her reveal also came on the heels of the full moon in Aquarius, a time for big reveals and breakthroughs.
Also, when you consider her natal Venus in Aquarius — a planet that speaks to her artistry and musical talents — the rich fusion between her cosmic timing and creative expression perfectly aligns with the energy of the stars.
Of course, the astrological coincidences don’t end there.
The full moon in Aquarius also made an exact conjunction with her North Node of Destiny in her third house of communication.
Again, it’s no coincidence that Swift is such a brilliant lyricist and wordsmith. Compliments of her natal Venus, of course, but her North Node of Fate also speaks to her path of rebellion and writing, not to mention her unpredictable perspectives that never cease to spark a ripple of shock and curiosity.
Not that there’s ever been such a thing as a Taylor Swift album curated without intention, but it’s safe to say — when looking to the stars — Swifties are in for something extraordinary.
