For the last ten days, Taylor Swift has been keeping me up at night as I contemplated all of her clues teasing us relentlessly, sharing sneak peeks every single day with images that belong to something only she knows. Her Instagram has become a collage of pastels and sparkling embellishments (a millennial’s dream) with something new and seemingly unrelated every day —what could bedazzled hearts, tulled skirts, a bike wheel, and chicks in sunglasses mean? Each post marks another day closer to the end of the countdown, while adding more confusion and theories. Are we getting a single and a music video? A visual album? A fashion line?
Ya’ll, the home stretch is almost within reach. We are less than three days away from the end of this countdown and, while we still don’t know any specifics about what lies beyond, she’s gifted us another breadcrumb. Yesterday, Taylor was spotted out and about in a pair of high-waisted floral shorts (these beauties from Urban Outfitters are my new go-to’s for spring, tyvm) and a pink cropped sweatshirt featuring a glittery, floral appliqué on the front. The whole outfit is honestly what my dreams are made of.

Are we getting music and merch? Am I going to have a new track in my ears at midnight this Friday and my new favorite sweatshirt on my body next week?! A woman can dream.
