    A new Taylor Swift album is out, baby! So you know what that means...it's fan theory time!

    Since Taylor is no stranger to putting Easter eggs and hidden meanings in her music, here are just some of the best fan theories about Evermore so far:

    1. "Dorothea" is about Selena Gomez.

    The song ‘dorothea’ by taylor swift is about Selena Gomez: a thread🧚🏽‍♀️

    From park hangs ("When we were younger down in the park") to Justin Bieber ("making a lark of the misery") to Selena's Rare beauty line ("sellin' makeup"), there sure are a lot of parallels between the song's lyrics and, well, Selena Gomez. Admittedly, there are also theories that the track is actually about Karlie Kloss.

    2. "Dorothea" is the name of Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik's baby.

    GUYS gigi’s baby’s name is Dorothea! as you all know taylor announced the name of blake’s baby “betty” through folklore! gigi posted a picture with caption “august, waiting for our girl” james was waiting august behind the mall. august is track 8, Dorothea is also the 8th track!

    I mean, it wouldn't be the first time that Taylor has revealed a celeb baby name via song — see: Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

    3. And "Dorothea" is a queer song.

    DOROTHEA , IVY, AND TIS THE DAMN SEASON ARE ABOUT A LESBIAN RELATIONSHIP: A THREAD #evermorealbum

    Nary a male pronoun to be seen! Also, that "Dorothea," "Ivy," and "'Tis the Damn Season" are part of another love triangle.

    4. The song "Evermore" has a reference to Cats.

    5. Evermore is inspired by Emily Dickinson.

    YOU'RE TELLING ME TAYLOR SWIFT IS DROPPING A NEW COTTAGECORE ALBUM ON THE SAME DAY AS EMILY DICKINSON'S BIRTHDAY CALLED EVERMORE WHICH IS HOW EMILY DICKINSON CLOSED ONE OF HER MOST ROMANTIC POEMS THAT SHE WROTE FOR HER LOVER SUE GILBERT????

    (For)Evermore!

    6. "Marjorie" is about Taylor's grandmother.

    🔎 | ‘epiphany’ is the 13th track on #folklore where Taylor pays tribute to her grandfather — while ‘marjorie’ is also the 13th track on her new album #evermore which is the name of her grandmother 💕

    Taylor has confirmed that this one is true.

    7. "Goldrush" is about Harry Styles.

    I think Goldrush on #Evermore is about Harry. A man who 'everybody wants' and who is so beautiful Taylor envies him?

    This is another one that may be about Karlie Kloss. However, what's one of HS' hits? "Golden." Therefore, "Goldrush"...

    8. Taylor Swift is married to Joe Alwyn.

    OKAY I HAVE A THEORY, I THINK TAYLOR IS GOING TO REVEAL SOON SHE'S ENGAGED (OR EVEN MARRIED!) IDK WHY BUT THE DRESS OF THE WILLOW MV GIVES ME WEDDING DRESS VIBES SO... NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IF WE TALK ABOUT MISS SWIFT

    Republic

    Mainly that the "Willow" promotional photos look very wedding-y.

    9. "Long Story Short" is about the Kimye drama.

    10. And "Long Story Short" calls out Tom Hiddleston.

    11. Finally, Folklore and Evermore are part of a trilogy.

    Did you guys see it too?? This is from "hide and seek" #folklore cd "woodvale"

    If there's another Taylor album in a few months...don't say we didn't tell you.

    Do you think these theories are totally plausible or a bit of a reach? Do you have any theories of your own? LMK in the comments!
