Fans have speculated that 5 + 11 + 3 + 3 + 0 + 3 + 5 equals 30 – and 30 days from the interview is May 13 – and that 3 + 3 + 0 + 3 + 5 add up to 14, leading until the next day, May 14.
May 14th is a Friday when new music is released so it’s more likely that something will fall that day. But we were able to get an announcement the day before, on the 13th, and so 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 movie, which came out last month – and if Taylor is basically re-recording entire albums at once, that would suggest 1989 comes next.
That would make sense from a business perspective too, since so many of the songs are off 1989 – “Shake It Off”, “Blank Space” and of course “Wildest Dreams” – are highly sought after for use in movies, TV shows and advertisements. The sooner she can license her own versions of those songs, the better.
Mind untamed is scheduled for release in the US on June 4, so “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” could be released on that date or earlier.
Maybe on May 14th? Or maybe on that date we’ll get “Shake It Off (Taylor’s Version)” and “Wildest Dreams” in June? Maybe – listen to me – followed by the full 1989 (Taylor’s version) on June 25, which not only fits my previous theory about the 44 years and 179 days, but is also a Friday?
Maybe I’m just a clown. It wouldn’t be the first time. But I’m a Swiftie – and 6/25 is 13.
