Taylor Swift was seen visiting the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York City earlier this week, fueling speculation that the superstar singer is working on new music.
Star Arrives Solo in Signature Style
The “Anti-Hero” singer arrived solo at the studio, which was built by Jimi Hendrix in 1970, on January 18th dressed in her trademark casual-chic style. Swift donned a cozy oversized green button-down sweater dress and black boots as she braved the NYC rain for what many hope is a recording session for her next album.
While representatives for Swift have not commented on the reason for her visit, fans are hopeful that she is laying down new tracks for the follow up to 2020’s “Evermore.” The appearance aligns with Swift’s pattern of surprise album drops, leading followers to believe that new Taylor tunes may very well be imminent.
Time in the Studio Comes Amid Romance Rumors
Swift’s studio visit also comes on the heels of romance rumors linking her to NFL star Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Date | Details |
|---|---|
| January 2023 | Travis attends Taylor’s Eras Tour |
| Mid-January 2023 | Pair reportedly spotted on a second date in NYC |
| January 18, 2023 | Taylor seen heading into Electric Lady Studios |
| January 19, 2023 | Travis gears up for AFC Championship game |
While it’s unclear if Swift’s suspected beau inspired any musical motivation during her session, fans have long connected Swift’s visits to the studio with forthcoming album releases chronicling her latest loves and heartbreaks.
Swift has famously written candidly about exes like Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles, Calvin Harris and others. If her burgeoning courtship with Kelce continues, he may very well end up referenced in lyrics on a future record.
What Fans Can Expect from TS11
As devotees eagerly await any clues pointing to TS11 (referring to Swift’s eleventh album as a solo artist), speculation abounds regarding what sonic direction she’ll take next and when fans can hope for a release.
Given her propensity for surprise album drops, followers have learned expecting the unexpected is key when it comes to new Swift music. Her last 4 studio albums – including “Folklore,” “Evermore,” “Lover,” and “Reputation” – materialized out of the blue with only days or weeks notice before they hit streaming platforms.
While Swift has undoubtedly pivoted her sound over her eclectic career, her last two indie-folk albums especially cemented her songwriting bonafides. Both “Folklore” and “Evermore” stretch her lyrical abilities and storytelling skills, earning Swift some of the best reviews of her genre-hopping career.
As for what’s in the pipeline, that remains anyone’s guess. But Swift has never been one to rest on her laurels or stagnate creatively. Whatever comes next, one thing seems certain – when Swift drops by the studio, fresh fire is brewing. And the pop culture sphere eagerly awaits whatever magic she conjures up next.
