It seems fans couldn't get enough of Taylor Swift! Yes, since the surprise album Folklore Evermore has dropped, there were rumors of one more potential album and started to notice the Easter egg. However, the 31-year-old singer opened up about the rumors and said that there is no third surprise album.
Recently, the singer and songwriter appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Dec. 14 and debunked the rumors of the tenth studio album releasing anytime soon. The rumors started after fans noticed Woodvale word camouflaged in an artwork in the background of the Folklore album.
The background image immediately went viral among the fans. While the singer described the latest remixed album as a sister album, fans assumed that a brother album called Woodvale might be released soon.
The singer had a conversation with the host in which she confessed to being aware of the Easter egg. However, Swift said that it was actually supposed to lead fans in another direction.
So I tend to be sort of annoyingly secret agent-y about dropping clues and hints and Easter eggs. It's very annoying, but it's fun for fans, and it's fun for me because they like to pick up on things, and then sometimes I take it too far, and I make a mistake," Swift admitted to Kimmel.
The singer explained further that during the making of the Folklore album, which was originally released in July, she was not sure about disclosing the title to the management or even her own teammates. Given that, she came up with a code word for the same album, Woodvale.
Swift further explained that she used the fake name on the album covers to check how the name looks on them before she decided not to have any title on the cover. However, she admitted that it was her mistake that she forgot to take the code word off from one of the covers.
The 53-year-old host jokingly said that this rumored album seemed to be Lost's third season because fans started to find clues even when there aren't any clues. The singer continued working with The National guitarist Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver in the sister album, who sung one of the tracks and co-wrote it.
The singer, songwriter, and producer Jack Antonoff is another name with whom Swift collaborates frequently. Recently, the singer admitted that Joe Alwyn is her boyfriend, who also worked on her album.
