Taylor Swift, West Reading\u2019s own \u2014 and also Philadelphia\u2019s own, don\u2019t overthink it \u2014 global superstar, is about to enter a new era, and it\u2019s covered in orange.<\/p>\n
And also glitter. But that\u2019s not the point of this piece of hard-hitting journalism.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s focus on the orange.<\/p>\n
In case you haven\u2019t heard (you totally have), Taylor announced a new album on the latest episode of New Heights, starring Philadelphia Eagles godsend Jason Kelce and his brother, Travis, who famously is dating Swift and even more famously lost to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.<\/p>\n
People forgot about that last part.<\/p>\n
Anyhow, Taylor revealed the name of her new album \u2014 The Life of a Showgirl. This development is significant on its own. But what\u2019s even more significant is the album\u2019s orange color scheme.<\/p>\n
Swift, wielding a briefcase with her \u201cTS\u201d initials printed in big, orange lettering, opened the mysterious rectangular prism on the podcast, revealing an even more orange velvet interior lining that appeared to contain a vinyl copy of the soon-to-be-released album.<\/p>\n
Taylor has been teasing The Life of a Showgirl, also referred to as \u201cTS12\u201d by fans, with the color for months, increasingly wearing orange during her Eras Tour. The subliminal meaning behind the bold color choice is a hot topic of debate among Swifties, but it shouldn\u2019t be. In fact, the answer is staring us all directly in the face.<\/p>\n
Taylor is doing this for her beloved Philadelphia Flyers.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
You may be thinking, \u201cSettle down. She doesn\u2019t even know the Flyers exist.\u201d<\/p>\n
Is that so?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Granted, Taylor has worn sweaters of multiple NHL teams, including the San Jose Sharks and the stupid, dumb, and ugly Pittsburgh Penguins.<\/p>\n
