Taylor Swift teamed up with Google to create a puzzle that would reveal song titles of the yet-to-be-announced Vault tracks from her forthcoming release, 1989 (Taylor’s Version).
Swift posted a cryptic message on socials that led to a Google page instructing fans to search for some Easter eggs, or, 33 million puzzles in total.
Naturally, the rush to solve the puzzle crashed the site, to which Google responded in Swift-speak. “Swifties, the vault is jammed! But don’t worry, there are no blank spaces inside,” Google tweeted. “We’re in our fix-it era and will be out of the woods soon.”
In the end, fans successfully uncovered the mystery that revealed four tracks from the Vault: “Is It Over Now?,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Say Don’t Go,” and “Suburban Legends.” It is believed there is one more Vault track to be announced, followed by a sixth track that will only be available on the exclusive edition sold by Target.As Taylor revealed last month when the album was announced, these songs are favourites of hers. "To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane," she said. "I can’t believe they were ever left behind."
Update: Taylor Swift posted the back covers for each version of 1989 (Taylor's Version), with the message, "Thank you for playing along, sleuthing, puzzling and making these reveals so much chaotic fun (which is the best kind of fun, after all ). See below.
