“A message from the department” was livestreamed by Taylor Swift from Singapore. With no rationalization, a mashup of “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” and “Dress” — each initially launched through the pop star’s Reputation period — could possibly be considered straight from Swift’s official Instagram account by followers around the globe on Saturday (March 2).
The stream went reside through the shock track set, or as Swift referred to as it, the “crazy acoustic section,” of the primary of six Eras Tour dates in Singapore — the portion of the live performance the place he performs a pair shock songs (or, these days, mashups). She will go on to carry out on the Singapore National Stadium on March 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9.
As the stream occurred, Swifties observed that the official Taylor Swift webstore was blacked out. Visitors couldn’t entry the shop, which was closed for a time frame, with no web site admin’s password, leaving followers questioning whether or not one thing new was about about to launch on the market. At press time, her webstore is up and operating, with no new merchandise.
The “a message from the department” message that popped up together with the livestream is a reference to Swift’s upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, approaching April 19. The message was ended with a black coronary heart.
Swift has already introduced three variants of the album, every that includes a unique bonus observe: “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter” and “The Albatross.” She revealed “The Bolter” and “The Albatross” editions at earlier tour dates in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. Fans guessed one other announcement might need been made on the first Singapore live performance of the tour — perhaps a fourth bonus track — however no announcement was made.
And given her selection of songs to carry out and livestream (and the truth that solely this mashup was streamed, not her full acoustic set), Swifties theorized that the Easter egg-loving musician might need been giving some Reputation-related indicators from Singapore.
“I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” is Swift’s duet with Zayn Malik that was first launched in December 2016 and included on the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack when it dropped in February 2017.
“Dress” is observe No. 12 on Swift’s sixth studio album, Reputation, launched in November 2017.
