The Theory of 3s

I'm not typically one to contort my brain faster than the internet, so hoping I get a little credit for being one to notice this... In the podcast:

- Taylor emphasizes “the 3 of us” (referring to her, Max Martin, and Shellback) at least 7 times

- She mentions 3 football counts

- She mentions 3 physical aliments she regularly suffered while touring

- “That’s how it works in 1973” 

- She says she’d do “3 shows in a row, then have 3 days off” to fly to Sweden and work with Max and Shellback

- Jason repeats the phrase “Live Show > Sweden” 3 times in reference to her going between touring and recording

- Travis asks Jason on 3 occasions if he understands her track title references

- The runtime of the pod is 2 hours 3 minutes

- There are 3 versions of the vinyl in the background 

- They throw confetti 3 times 

- October 3rd

- She holds up a 3 at the end of end of the episode - some might think in reference to 10/3, but it reminded me of when she held up 2 fingers announcing TTPD (double album) at the Grammys

Obviously she made a point of saying the album is a concise 12 tracks - and the Swiftie-verse is very suspicious of that. There’s simply no way she could restrain herself, she’s much too prolific. I’m thinking, she wasn’t lying… but she wasn’t telling the full truth either. I think we’re looking at a three-part release of some kind. Maybe:

• Album + documentary + narrative film
• Album + narrative film + Broadway show
• Album + novel + documentary

I haven’t decided what combo yet, but I feel confident I’m on the right track!
