    if i had a nickel for every time i thought taylor swift was going to announce a re-recorded album at an award show but got up there and announced a brand new album instead, i would have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

    Taylor Swift would rather release a new album than let any of our theories be correct.
