Clues Behind the Release
The attention that Swift’s rollout received is because of its zero motif. Her bio on social media accounts changed several instances of the letter “O” to zeros while Patient Zero was added to her official store and branding was The Life of a Showgirl.
That has created some rumors that it is a continuation of the Showgirl thing or it’s a new era. The single and editions basically have been confirmed by official material, but not the bigger project.
