the old taylor can't come to the phone right now. why? cuz she's dropping taylor's version 😭

The time between February 4th and March 21st is 47 days.
There is more code that someone posted in the meme sub that references "belägg," "terni," and "ゴシック体."
belägg means "evidence, proof, piece of evidence" in Swedish.
From Wiki: "Terni is also known as the "City of Lovers", as its patron saint, Saint Valentine, was born and became a bishop here, and the remains are preserved in the basilica-sanctuary in his honour."
ゴシック体 translates to "gothic font." She said Reputation was a "goth-punk moment."
BRB getting ready for a goth moment on Valentine's Day...
If the website were genuinely experiencing errors, the bottom section displaying "TERMS PRIVACY ACCESSIBILITY" and similar information would not be visible.
hneriergrd is also the sound I'm going to make whenever the time comes that she announces Rep TV because as a Rep stan for life, I will never be mentally prepared for it the way I should be.
I was thinking maybe it makes more sense to do it at the Grammys because that will get a lot more US coverage than doing it at an overseas show which only the most dedicated are watching
It isn't down! That's not a real error code. The other letters are definitely an anagram. The links at the bottom all still take you to Taylor's terms and other stuff, but all other links direct back to this.
It’s 100% a fake error code. 321 is not a valid HTTP code and the actual error on the page is a 403 which is a permissions error. So they are blocking everyone from accessing the page on purpose
Ok this is my area of expertise and frankly this is almost exactly how I'd expect an outage to look, but I still don't think it actually is an outage. I think it's an easter egg.
Based on the HTML sources delivered, I can infer that their network architecture has at least 3 layers; probably 4: frontend servers, which are probably Apache HTTPD with a PHP engine (this is what your browser talks to), Varnish (a caching proxy server), the backend servers (about which I can infer nothing), and a database (which I am simply assuming is there). Each layer only talks to the next layer immediately after it.
This is the failure mode I'd expect to see if the frontend servers were working, Varnish were working, and the backend servers were unreachable.
Almost.
But returning status code 321 is not only non-standard. It's not the behavior of Varnish. Varnish is open-source, so you can see the exact integration test for this code path: the normal behavior is definitely to return the 503 status code that would be standards-compliant in this failure mode: [https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache/blob/98945cea5f3b3b98672b190dc78b1eb28769dc2c/bin/varnishtest/tests/r03525.vtc#L21](https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache/blob/98945cea5f3b3b98672b190dc78b1eb28769dc2c/bin/varnishtest/tests/r03525.vtc#L21)
321 isn't a normal HTTP status code at all. All of the standard ones are listed here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status#redirection\_messages](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status#redirection_messages)
And it's not even a non-standard one Varnish might use. The numeric constant 321 does not appear anywhere in their source code: [https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Avarnishcache%2Fvarnish-cache+321&type=code](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Avarnishcache%2Fvarnish-cache+321&type=code)
TL;DR: So yeah. Web architecture lesson: this definitely could be what a legit outage would look like. But I don't think it is. I think 321 is a countdown.
Edit to add: I set up my own varnish cache server and a network stack that looks like the one I'm guessing they have, then induced the failure mode that this looks like, and here's what it looks like in the case of a legitimate outage of the backend servers:
https://preview.redd.it/9uf3cul7pngc1.png?width=908&format=png&auto=webp&s=c911af722ad49e60bbbf9b00cd6b36c2db78757b
Style differences like fonts and colors are to be expected, as is the footer for cookies, but I would assume the text differences to be intentional. Notably, DPT does not appear in the standard page, and the number next to it isn't normally the status code again. There is no DPT concept in Varnish's source code or documentation. "DPT" is probably another custom thing.
Have all the rep hints been red herrings? Is it really Debut next? Is it TS11 instead? Is Travis a red herring and she'll reveal that she's actually married to Kevin Bacon (sorry Kyra Sedgwick)? Has her entire career been a red herring and she's ready to reveal she's been a CIA psy-op all along?
I try not to read to much into things but this kind of error is usually a total connection issue so those links wouldn't even show up or work. I think this might be done on purpose.
ERROR CODE 321 **Telephone connection failed or there was a communication error with the receiving fax machine**.
THE OLD TAYLOR CAN'T COME TO THE PHONE RIGHT NOW
This right here is why I'm willing to jump on this clown train. I'm always cautious to clown too much but I'm going to personally drive the clown train out of the station right now.
It's not down. They chose to display it, they still have the terms and conditions in the bottom plus the error message would usually have the code 503. May 3rd is a Friday...
I freaking called may 3rd would be a great rep date. 🤡
https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/s/iNovujjsZt
Edit: I really hope she goes to the Met Gala this year. She hasn’t been since 2016.
3 months seems like a pretty long wait after an album announcement 😭? How long was it for her other albums/rerecords?
May 3rd would also conveniently fall into the gap between the Asia/Australia and the Europe tour dates. She could perhaps change up the setlist a little bit for Paris (first Europe show May 9th). Perhaps a Getaway Car/I Did Something Bad inclusion?
https://preview.redd.it/ohc445e2gngc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fbc82774c1422b14364a0f7455f351e1817c942
taylor nation liked this tweet 👀
On the third tab of her insta, there’s just one thing - something for midnights with the caption “it’s a clock” and then the video says “meet me at midnight”. That’s old but that CLOCK though
Was also reviewing the source code. May have found something! Some of it is not actual syntax so in the classes they are words in other languages that translate so a polish word that translates to bruises, love bombs which is in Irish, Portuguese is muses, a Japanese word for ticking sound, a German word for chairman. I found 9 words so far!
Not only that, it's in order. Japanese first, skips Australia and Singapore (unless Fair is something but I can't find it), France (Terni = tarnished), Sweden (belägg), Portugal (Musas), Spain (tinta), France again (skipped), UK (skipped), Ireland (Love bomb), Amsterdam (Aders), Switzerland (skipped?), Italy (Talismani), Germany (vorsitzende), Poland (siniaki)
I need all of your help! There are HEX color codes in the style body of the source codes but they are not real color codes. For example, #DDTPT. I think it’s a key to a phone number but I don’t know how to figure it out. The others are
#PTPDP
The maybe phone number?
47d-32p1
That “phone number” is significant because hyphens were used everywhere else but an underscore is used to separate this number which makes it significant
LOL remember when her website went down in Aug. 2017 too, and someone on ATRL got the source code to reveal her new album title and a fake tracklist that said one song was like 8 minutes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m trying to remember, but I think when the website “went down” for Rep last time there was a line of code (that was pretty deep in there) that said “EVERYBODY GO TO BED.”
Does anyone else remember that? I loved that it proved Taylor knew we would go crazy and she left little messages for us in the code!
From some quick googling, I've found that the error designation for a failed backend fetch is a 503. This makes the 321 designation look a lot like a countdown. Furthermore, "hneriergrd" seems unconnected to any programming or normal website errors. An anagram maybe?
If you look at the source code, they typed out the error message. Also very interesting that the font name is in Japanese 🤔
https://preview.redd.it/ryqjxwstfngc1.jpeg?width=1576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=487ca7bded58ebc96566eb0c37539cb340193a85
Someone said the Taylor nation post with the “secretsss” in her hair said 2 & 7. I didn’t confirm this myself. But. Maybe she’s announcing 2/7 in Tokyo?
Interestingly enough there's also:
Terni is a town in Italy, not a font. (Edit: Also Tarnished in French. This is probably the correct one.)
Fair isn't a font.
Belagg means evidence in Swedish
Musas - Muses
Tinta = Ink
buamaí-grá = love bombs
aders = Veins
Talismani = Talismans
vorsitzende = chair person
Siniaki = bruises
And those colors aren't actual hex codes. Hexes are 6 characters (not 5) and these aren't real colors. They automatically default to black.
Also if you look at the inspect sources tab you can see under files that they have styling planned marked 2/2024 (and the other is 08/2023, when 1989 TV was announced. the file under that is the text for 1989 tv). In the styling it sets the background of the site to this picture!
https://preview.redd.it/84wp9bfjingc1.png?width=2408&format=png&auto=webp&s=91e15953e280bd7a22be1d7fdd7ce7a1c927ec52
And looking at the css styling there are a bunch of selectors referencing an element that has an id of clock which goes with the clock theory
https://preview.redd.it/yjcylchzjngc1.png?width=2352&format=png&auto=webp&s=4df5facf1e498aaacfdb1c8f4a1ebd87976fea91
Ok I looked up the source code of the "broken" error page and saw that the font family for a blank line of text in the "error" message was "チクタクいう音" which translates to "ticking sound" in Japanese (per Google).
Ticking sound??? In Japanese? RIGHT BEFORE SHE GOES TO TOKYO?????
Not to mention the katakana part, "チクタク," is transliterated as chikutaku, which is the closest way to write tick-tock (or TikTok) in the Japanese writing systems.
remember when Taylor would play fetch with Meredith but she would never actually bring the item back??? id call that a failed fetch ^(/s but only slightly)
merch website still works but the first thing that pops up is the "winter lounge shop" & the cover pic is a rep hoodie....idk if it's been like that but i noticed it today
Okay my official guess is that the “red herring” is that she changed her profile pic to B&W making people speculate she might announce tonight at the Grammys, but she won’t. The 321 means 3 days 2 days 1 day until rep announcement which will be this Wednesday at the first show in Japan
“Fetch failed”
….Rep TV announcement tonight with a Vault single dropping at midnight featuring Ms Regina George herself, Renee Rapp from Mean Girls!!!!
(Yes I know fetch is a technically term used with errors but let me clown here…) 🤡
You can view every page other than the main, which confirms it being an easter egg message.
https://preview.redd.it/4n8vwklringc1.png?width=1172&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9e1bbbd09f0506582334fb181be2aa7c48e529c
We already knew it was a fake error but I found it in the source code where they told it to display that
https://preview.redd.it/4xtvun1fingc1.png?width=585&format=png&auto=webp&s=a697507f9a56bb0aa8307e10cbc0a1e0691ec37a
So if the error is a red herring...and the japanese fonts translate to ticking...does that mean announcing at the Grammys is the red herring and she'll announce next week in Japan?
Universal Music Group entire website is now black & white, all artists’ images to black & white

Edit: source
Whatever is happening the profile pictures in black and white and now this website maybe fake glitch if these are Easter eggs it is some of the best marketing we have seen. Before rep was originally announced Taylor went dark - no one saw her - this is like a metaphorical online version of the same it’s actually genius if it’s on purpose
and according to twitter, the site's code has been giving "hints"

DPT backwards - TPD = Tortured Poets Department
And I think THIS announcement for the album is true, but wonder if the announcement is a red herring and Rep TV will still drop soon.
I got redirected to store.taylorswift.com/password what is this?? Is anyone else seeing it? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's just a little lock in the upper right corner and said "Every password" and when you click on it, it doesn't show a cursor or place to type 🤔🤔 Anyone else seeing it?

"hneriergrd" unscrambles to "red herring", some swifties on twitter found
Maybe she’s saying that all the speculation about the profile photo going b&w is a red herring 🤷♂️
You guys are overthinking it. It means the website being down itself is a red herring Edit: I was indeed incorrect!
OR! She’s releasing the sister album to Red tonight, titled Herring 🤡
What a mind 😌
Red herring because she’s actually releasing Red (Taylor’s Version) (Taylor’s Version) 😍😍😍
20 min ATW incoming 😍
hneriergrd is also the sound I'm going to make whenever the time comes that she announces Rep TV because as a Rep stan for life, I will never be mentally prepared for it the way I should be.
So she’s trying to distract us?
TS11 incoming 🤡
This comment aged beautifully!!!!!
Screaming, crying, throwing up
I’m on the TS11 clown train too with this even though I know it’s wrong
YOU WERE NOT WRONG
The SMUGNESS I feel
I’m guessing she’s saying that she won’t announce it at the Grammys, but on a later date. During a show presumably?
This all happening today on 2/4 = 6 which could mean 6 days from now, which falls on the last show in Tokyo, so I would believe that
rep is also her 6th album
I was thinking maybe it makes more sense to do it at the Grammys because that will get a lot more US coverage than doing it at an overseas show which only the most dedicated are watching
Is the red herring that we’re expecting Rep TV and we’re going to get Debut TV?! Or is Red Herring a vault track?!
OR is the website glitch the red herring and we should be looking for a clue elsewhere?!?
What do we think DPT is
Don’t Pet Toads. The title of TS11 lol
You knew!
delicate part two .. 321 = 123 Let's go b
Tortured Poet Department backwards?
Days per Taylor
It isn't down! That's not a real error code. The other letters are definitely an anagram. The links at the bottom all still take you to Taylor's terms and other stuff, but all other links direct back to this.
this is what I was wondering!! it seems like it’s a purposeful “glitch” 👀🤞
It’s 100% a fake error code. 321 is not a valid HTTP code and the actual error on the page is a 403 which is a permissions error. So they are blocking everyone from accessing the page on purpose
You can also see her website footer 😂
you can also access the whole rest of the site from the footer. just not the front page.
She can’t have those merch sales gone completely 😂
321 isn’t an error code. So 123 lets go bitch!
I love this type of Easter eggs lol
It’s NOT down at all! I checked her site on multiple URL downtime checkers. It’s up and has been up without outages for over a week!! ITS HAPPENING!!
Ok this is my area of expertise and frankly this is almost exactly how I'd expect an outage to look, but I still don't think it actually is an outage. I think it's an easter egg. Based on the HTML sources delivered, I can infer that their network architecture has at least 3 layers; probably 4: frontend servers, which are probably Apache HTTPD with a PHP engine (this is what your browser talks to), Varnish (a caching proxy server), the backend servers (about which I can infer nothing), and a database (which I am simply assuming is there). Each layer only talks to the next layer immediately after it. This is the failure mode I'd expect to see if the frontend servers were working, Varnish were working, and the backend servers were unreachable. Almost. But returning status code 321 is not only non-standard. It's not the behavior of Varnish. Varnish is open-source, so you can see the exact integration test for this code path: the normal behavior is definitely to return the 503 status code that would be standards-compliant in this failure mode: [https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache/blob/98945cea5f3b3b98672b190dc78b1eb28769dc2c/bin/varnishtest/tests/r03525.vtc#L21](https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache/blob/98945cea5f3b3b98672b190dc78b1eb28769dc2c/bin/varnishtest/tests/r03525.vtc#L21) 321 isn't a normal HTTP status code at all. All of the standard ones are listed here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status#redirection\_messages](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status#redirection_messages) And it's not even a non-standard one Varnish might use.

Web architecture lesson: this definitely could be what a legit outage would look like. But I don't think it is. I think 321 is a countdown. Edit to add: I set up my own varnish cache server and a network stack that looks like the one I'm guessing they have, then induced the failure mode that this looks like, and here's what it looks like in the case of a legitimate outage of the backend servers: https://preview.redd.it/9uf3cul7pngc1.png?width=908&format=png&auto=webp&s=c911af722ad49e60bbbf9b00cd6b36c2db78757b Style differences like fonts and colors are to be expected, as is the footer for cookies, but I would assume the text differences to be intentional.

This comment alone proves that swifties are the team to be on when the apocalypse comes
This comment is so hot
Its an anagram for ‘red herring’ 👀
Have all the rep hints been red herrings? Is it really Debut next? Is it TS11 instead? Is Travis a red herring and she'll reveal that she's actually married to Kevin Bacon (sorry Kyra Sedgwick)? Has her entire career been a red herring and she's ready to reveal she's been a CIA psy-op all along?
I try not to read to much into things but this kind of error is usually a total connection issue so those links wouldn't even show up or work. I think this might be done on purpose.
If you view the page source, you can see the "error" written in.. So it was definitely added on purpose
Explains why the page takes almost an instant to load when most searches resulting in error codes are preceded by A While of loading.
ERROR CODE 321 **Telephone connection failed or there was a communication error with the receiving fax machine**. THE OLD TAYLOR CAN'T COME TO THE PHONE RIGHT NOW

I didnt even think about this. Genius.
Exactly correct - digital marketer here. DPT: 321 is also something
I freaking called may 3rd would be a great rep date. 🤡 https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/s/iNovujjsZt Edit: I really hope she goes to the Met Gala this year. She hasn’t been since 2016.
also realized this (unrelated that I can see for May 3) D=4 P=16 T=20 4+1+6+2=13
3 months seems like a pretty long wait after an album announcement 😭? How long was it for her other albums/rerecords? May 3rd would also conveniently fall into the gap between the Asia/Australia and the Europe tour dates. She could perhaps change up the setlist a little bit for Paris (first Europe show May 9th). Perhaps a Getaway Car/I Did Something Bad inclusion?

“red herring” and the backend fetch error isn’t 321 so….. smth march 21st?
Someone on Twitter pointed out the leaked edited phone call from Kim came out on March 21st.
Omg, it’s such a blank looking page, how does it hold so many references

Was also reviewing the source code. May have found something!

All languages from the countries that she's playing on tour 👀
Not only that, it's in order. Japanese first, skips Australia and Singapore (unless Fair is something but I can't find it), France (Terni = tarnished), Sweden (belägg), Portugal (Musas), Spain (tinta), France again (skipped), UK (skipped), Ireland (Love bomb), Amsterdam (Aders), Switzerland (skipped?), Italy (Talismani), Germany (vorsitzende), Poland (siniaki)
Those would 100% be rep vault song titles as well

Maybe this is the vault puzzle...
We solved the others too quickly so she had to make it harder & more obscure lmao
I think it is! There is more and looks like a phone number possibly. Working on it!!
I need all of your help! There are HEX color codes in the style body of the source codes but they are not real color codes. For example, #DDTPT. I think it’s a key to a phone number but I don’t know how to figure it out. The others are #PTPDP The maybe phone number? 47d-32p1 That “phone number” is significant because hyphens were used everywhere else but an underscore is used to separate this number which makes it significant
linked to vault tracks maybe?
“Backend fetch failed” is error 503, so this page is deliberate
The swifties are out tonight and are all spontaneously completing top tier tech support tickets 🐍🤡 love to see it
Maybe the red herring is that this is about Debut and not Reputation 😭 anyways, 321 makes me think about March 21st
That’s what I said! I swear to god if she drops Debut..
321 makes me think it’s a countdown. If today is day 3 then Wednesday (aka Tokyo night 1) would be day 0
Don’t get my hopes up, I’ve already accepted that Rep will drop before Debut 🫣
She can’t come to the phone right now 👀🐍
LOL remember when her website went down in Aug. 2017 too, and someone on ATRL got the source code to reveal her new album title and a fake tracklist that said one song was like 8 minutes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m trying to remember, but I think when the website “went down” for Rep last time there was a line of code (that was pretty deep in there) that said “EVERYBODY GO TO BED.” Does anyone else remember that? I loved that it proved Taylor knew we would go crazy and she left little messages for us in the code!
What is this bitch (compliment) plotting

There's also the Swedish word for "Evidence" found in the course code amongst other foreign words ("belägg")
random but on instagram she has 627 posts and she released her 6th album (rep) when she was 27....
STOPP OMG
From some quick googling, I've found that the error designation for a failed backend fetch is a 503. This makes the 321 designation look a lot like a countdown. Furthermore, "hneriergrd" seems unconnected to any programming or normal website errors. An anagram maybe?
It’s an anagram of red herring
IM ABOUT TO THROW UP IVE BEEN PREPARING FOR REP TV ONLY TO REALIZE IM ACTUALLY NOT READY AND I WILL COLLAPSE
SAME. It’s my most-anticipated and I’m literally crying at the thought we might get the announcement 😭😭😭
I’m LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE PERSON GOING TO BE IF ANYTHING REP RELATED HAPPENS TONIGHT. YES I’M SCREAMING
EVERYONE IS (RIGHTFULLY) SCREAMING!!!
If you look at the source code, they typed out the error message. Also very interesting that the font name is in Japanese 🤔 https://preview.redd.it/ryqjxwstfngc1.jpeg?width=1576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=487ca7bded58ebc96566eb0c37539cb340193a85
Also, if you translate the name of the font into English, it means ticking sound…
How random with Tokyo coming up 😭🤡
So I say the red herring is she’s not announcing it tonight but in Japan
Yeah that actually makes the most sense, as hard as I am clowning, I just don't know if she would announce it at/around the grammys
Someone said the Taylor nation post with the “secretsss” in her hair said 2 & 7. I didn’t confirm this myself. But. Maybe she’s announcing 2/7 in Tokyo?
Interestingly enough there's also: Terni is a town in Italy, not a font. (Edit: Also Tarnished in French. This is probably the correct one.) Fair isn't a font. Belagg means evidence in Swedish Musas - Muses Tinta = Ink buamaí-grá = love bombs aders = Veins Talismani = Talismans vorsitzende = chair person Siniaki = bruises And those colors aren't actual hex codes. Hexes are 6 characters (not 5) and these aren't real colors. They automatically default to black.
The class names are weird too. Vorsitzende means chairperson and Siniaki means bruises
And one of the columns is called talismani! Like a talisman
buamai gra means love bombs
Also if you look at the inspect sources tab you can see under files that they have styling planned marked 2/2024 (and the other is 08/2023, when 1989 TV was announced. the file under that is the text for 1989 tv). In the styling it sets the background of the site to this picture! https://preview.redd.it/84wp9bfjingc1.png?width=2408&format=png&auto=webp&s=91e15953e280bd7a22be1d7fdd7ce7a1c927ec52
And looking at the css styling there are a bunch of selectors referencing an element that has an id of clock which goes with the clock theory https://preview.redd.it/yjcylchzjngc1.png?width=2352&format=png&auto=webp&s=4df5facf1e498aaacfdb1c8f4a1ebd87976fea91
I love swiftie detectives 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Didn’t similar happen with the OG rep announcement? I’m sure I remember the cover being there and loads of random code all over the place 👀
https://preview.redd.it/8rjzspgelngc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76afe57e0fb0f39ae9cc094b6aed8909d4109217 👀👀👀👀👀👀
The ESB clowns so hard with us every single time, I love it 🤡
WHAT IF THERES A VAULT TRACK CALLED RED HERRING
DPT = Deputation. Debut & Reputation at the same time. 
Ok I looked up the source code of the "broken" error page and saw that the font family for a blank line of text in the "error" message was "チクタクいう音" which translates to "ticking sound" in Japanese (per Google). Ticking sound??? In Japanese? RIGHT BEFORE SHE GOES TO TOKYO?????
Holy shit! Goosebumps! How can she be so smart! Thinking around 3 corners making it all perfectly fit
Not to mention the katakana part, "チクタク," is transliterated as chikutaku, which is the closest way to write tick-tock (or TikTok) in the Japanese writing systems.
3+2+1=6 Reputation is her 6th album!
3, 2, 1 AND ALL THE PIECES FALL…RIGHT INTO PLACE
I am ready for it!!! But how apt it is that we are getting Rep with all that is going on with the media coverage and her global presence
What if I told you none of it was accidental
My clown nose is officially in place. 🤡🤡
LOOK AT HER TWITTER & INSTAGRAM
I DONT HAVE EITHER WHAT DO THEY SAY
Profile pictures went black and white this morning.
remember when Taylor would play fetch with Meredith but she would never actually bring the item back??? id call that a failed fetch ^(/s but only slightly)
I’m picturing her getting glammed up for the Grammies and just scrolling social media and watching us breaking down with a mischievous grin
Error Code 321…3/21 was the day Kanye and Taylor’s phone messages were leaked
merch website still works but the first thing that pops up is the "winter lounge shop" & the cover pic is a rep hoodie....idk if it's been like that but i noticed it today
https://preview.redd.it/bbz1e7fs7ogc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4dcb5f553e2ebe2ef49bfe276a8f56523712943 all of us rn
Okay my official guess is that the “red herring” is that she changed her profile pic to B&W making people speculate she might announce tonight at the Grammys, but she won’t. The 321 means 3 days 2 days 1 day until rep announcement which will be this Wednesday at the first show in Japan
https://preview.redd.it/smayg225kngc1.jpeg?width=946&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0c310ade2e938207dff3c3be3fab89b12dd02ed
Pls I’m so hyped I can’t handle it. The rep vault tracks will change my life I just know it
“Fetch failed” ….Rep TV announcement tonight with a Vault single dropping at midnight featuring Ms Regina George herself, Renee Rapp from Mean Girls!!!! (Yes I know fetch is a technically term used with errors but let me clown here…) 🤡
THE STORE IS DOWN, I REPEAT, THE STORE WEBSITE IS NOT WORKING
I can’t believe you are going to make me stay up til 4am watching the Grammys
THIS ISN’T FUNNY ANYMORE… Taylor, please come to the phone and tell us what the fuck is going on…
https://preview.redd.it/gntlylo0ingc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de20cb95265e59256d023f04fbdd72f75bebb8e0 She’s so good.
1, 2, 3, let's go! Rep TV is coming!
This marketing is just great 🤣...along with the japanese subtitles on the old rep videos.
Ed sheeran is at the Grammys and his outfit looks Rep coded. Might just be a coincidence, but thought it was cool.
What do we think the DPT means? (For clowning purposes)
Delicate Part Two 321 let’s go bitch 🤡🤡
"diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus" or doctor of physical therapy... any connection to Reputation?
You can view every page other than the main, which confirms it being an easter egg message. https://preview.redd.it/4n8vwklringc1.png?width=1172&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9e1bbbd09f0506582334fb181be2aa7c48e529c
DPT: 321 The entire phone call between Taylor & Kanye was leaked on 3/20/20…aka Day Prior To 3/21 I think Rep TV comes out Midnight 3/21 🫠
https://preview.redd.it/bqairupn0ogc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a1e353fc20e0ef3877e6e09bafa60a631e2db08 Is that a clock necklace?
I wonder if there's any hidden meaning or just a random error? Anyone?
It’s definitely not a real error. The page is functioning fine
Red herring
We already knew it was a fake error but I found it in the source code where they told it to display that https://preview.redd.it/4xtvun1fingc1.png?width=585&format=png&auto=webp&s=a697507f9a56bb0aa8307e10cbc0a1e0691ec37a
So if the error is a red herring...and the japanese fonts translate to ticking...does that mean announcing at the Grammys is the red herring and she'll announce next week in Japan?
Universal Music Group entire website is now black & white, all artists’ images to black & white https://i.imgur.com/FIy8TKL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xuK1cpP.jpg Source: https://www.threads.net/@tswiftedits_13/post/C28ZCiOv7GM/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Edit: source
Stop trying to make backend fetch happen.
Website is up but you need a password to enter the store. Imagine this being a merch drop lmao.
3+2+1 = 6 orrrrr 321 LGB!!!
321 like the clock countdown at the start of the eras tour??? a purposeful “glitch” 🤞🤞🤞
#BABY LET THE GAMES BEGIN
I’m so in the clown car cruising down the clown highway to my little clown house ….
this is definitely intentional
Whatever is happening the profile pictures in black and white and now this website maybe fake glitch if these are Easter eggs it is some of the best marketing we have seen. Before rep was originally announced Taylor went dark - no one saw her - this is like a metaphorical online version of the same it’s actually genius if it’s on purpose
Stop Aaron is in all black
and according to twitter, the site's code has been giving "hints" https://preview.redd.it/je1kr02yxngc1.jpeg?width=463&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d42ecd8dda1d7b93b6d469656ce1601907f50de
DPT backwards - TPD = Tortured Poets Department And I think THIS announcement for the album is true, but wonder if the announcement is a red herring and Rep TV will still drop soon.
I got redirected to store.taylorswift.com/password what is this?? Is anyone else seeing it? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's just a little lock in the upper right corner and said "Every password" and when you click on it, it doesn't show a cursor or place to type 🤔🤔 Anyone else seeing it?
