Taylor Swift fans were on their toes waiting for the next big reveal after the countdown on her website went live, however the surprise left them wanting more.
The 35-year-old pop superstar unveiled the surprise in the form of a seven-second clip of herself from the photoshoot of one of her covers for The Life of a Showgirl.
The video showed the Anti-Hero hitmaker striking a pose, looking over her shoulder and Swifties were left polarised on social media.
Fans quickly rushed to fan pages to gush or discuss their disappointment over the big reveal they waited for, with one writing, “Feel like that was a lot of countdown for a gif lmao.”
While another added, “I kept clicking the button thinking there had to be more,” and, “Almost 2 days countdown for a short clip.”
A third chimed in, “Literally could have been an email,” while another declared, “Me unsaving out of protest.”
However, some Swifties were more optimistic and theorised, “This feels like a music video hint, like behind the scenes from it.”
“Is this maybe from a music video for a single? It has to be a clip from something larger,” another echoed.
It remains to be seen what Swift does after the short clip, whether it’s a teaser from something or just one of the smaller countdowns leading up to the album release.
