Taylor Swift's recent announcement of her new album has sent her fans into a tizzy, sending them on a scavenger hunt for potential hidden messages or "Easter eggs." The singer unveiled the title of her forthcoming 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," during an appearance on Travis Kelce's podcast, "New Heights." Although the album cover was obscured, fans were quick to detect a possible link to Kanye West's 2016 album, "The Life of Pablo."
When fans scoured music streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music for albums titled "the life of," West's "The Life of Pablo" was prominently displayed at the top. This coincidence has sparked speculation that Swift might be subtly alluding to her past beef with West. The controversy surrounding "The Life of Pablo" revolves around the song "Famous," which contains the controversial lyrics, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous." This sparked a fiery dispute between West and Swift, with West insisting that Swift had approved the lyrics, while her team vehemently denied it.
Moreover, fans have observed the prominent use of the color orange in Swift's recent promotional materials, which some fans speculate could be a nod to the rumored title of her 2016 album, "Karma."

One fan commented, "So her orange album really did end up being Karma…" Another fan admired Swift's ingenuity, stating, "She really is a mastermind, and I love her for it."
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of "The Life of a Showgirl," they are busy unraveling the potential connections to West's album and deciphering the significance of the color orange.
