Taylor Swift Reveals Life of a Showgirl Easter Egg Her Fans ‘Finally’ Figured Out

Taylor Swift loves to keep her fans on their toes.

The pop superstar, 35, opened up about her noted love of leaving Easter eggs for fans to find in an interview with Z100 on Friday, Oct. 3 — and revealed that Swifties had successfully sleuthed out one she tucked into her new album The Life of a Showgirl.

Swift admitted that while some fan theories are “based in absolutely nothing close to reality,” fans hit the nail on the head when they uncovered something special about the order in which she arranged the Showgirl tracklist.

“There are some that are so fun when they figure them out. Like just yesterday somebody figured out that if you line up the titles of all the tracks of this album in order, and you line them in the center of the frame, the shape of the tracklist makes the same shape as the Eras Tour stage,” she explained.

Swift continued, “So that was a real one. That was one that it took a while for them to discover, and then finally they figured it out and it was really fun.”

Swift’s Eras Tour stage features a large diamond in the center that extends out into two rectangles on either side. Her tracklist is bookended by long titles, with another long title in the center, and shorter titles in between. When zoomed out, the song lengths do, in fact, make a diamond in the center.

The shape is a nod to the fact that the Grammy winner wrote The Life of a Showgirl during her Eras Tour, and the music’s theme is “everything that was going on behind the curtain.”

“[It] isn’t really about what happened to me on stage… [but] what I was going through off stage,” she said on fiancé Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast in August.

Though the stage Easter egg was correct, the “Opalite” singer explained that some theories are a bit too far-fetched.

“People thought that somehow sourdough bread was a part of the whole thing, when actually, I bake. I love backing. It’s completely aside from my music,” she said. “It’s just a hobby I’m obsessed with.”

She continued, “It’s been really funny to have people care that much. Because ultimately Easter eggs are always leading towards more art. They’re leading towards lyrics or art that’s coming on the future. So I wouldn’t be able to do that if the fans didn’t care so much about the music itself, which I’m very honored by.”

Swift released Showgirl, her 12th album, on Oct. 3. The album quickly smashed Spotify’s record for most-streamed album in a single day in 2025, and the lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” became the most-streamed song in a single day in Spotify history.
