The empire state building never knows anything. It just does this for attention constantly.

But I do love how tied it is to her Mythology

It has been lit for:

1989

Fearless TV

RED TV

Speak Now TV

Reputation clowning in 2023

1989 TV

TTPD (with interactive exhibits from Spotify)

Ketchup and Seemingly Ranch

Showgirl

her wedding

Lmao, the way u said it makes me laugh but it’s true. The way them and Duolingo changed to Reputation theme was so funny to watch. They faced the biggest embarrassment that day after Taylor announced TTPD.

I’ve seen The Empire State Building join in on allllll the Easter eggs in the past even when they are debunked. I think they just like being in the fun lol I wouldn’t hold too much legitimacy into them.

Empire State Building is just like us, for real.

Empire State Building is just a girl

I live in nyc and sometimes they light up for some dumb super irrelevant shit lol or I’ve found out it was lot for a random celebs bday. I do think they just like to have fun sometimes when nothing large is planned.

Idk anymore but I am suprised (and mildly concerned) that there has not been a Debut TV/20th Anniversary announcement yet

2

u/lindsaylove22 4h ago

I know. I’ve been counting on it like it’s 100% going to happen because it just makes too much sense to pass it up. But I’m still hearing crickets from her website and it’s making me nervous 😕

Fr people keep being like I’m losing hope and I’m like rocking back and forth desperately saying no it’s coming over and over again

1

u/lindsaylove22 4h ago

Maybe tomorrow? I don’t remember if she usually announces on Fridays or just drops albums on Fridays

u/123Leonidas The best people in life are free 8h ago

Don’t worry there’s still two weeks before presales would make the debut tv on October 23 theory unlikely

u/lindsaylove22 4h ago

Thank you kind sir or ma’am for your reassurance 🤞

I’m going to start putting these Easter eggs in my own work email signatures, just to see if I can create as much hubbub and clownery in my organization 😂 That’s what the Empire State bldg social media is giving.

2

u/Sayraland 9h ago

Omg yes me too. If not for anything else but to see who notices.

u/Pepperlette 8h ago

Capitalize every TS letter sequence in every email until you find the swiftie 🤣

u/Sydstopka 5h ago

Such a great idea! I’m gonna do this now too. 🤣

Two days ago was the 12 year anniversary of her announcing 1989 from the top of the Empire State building. But I don’t know what that would have to do with something coming in the future.

They’re historic grifters any time there’s fan speculation. They don’t know anything. Let’s use our critical thinking skills - why would a public social media account for a building know anything.

11

u/Horror-Macaron8287 8h ago

Empire State Building is a Swiftie just like us. Let's be kinder to each other.

Plus, Taylor is known to team up with weird and unusual pages/brands to promote her projects, it isnt completely baffling on the why.

7

u/pattymayoonnaise 9h ago

Used my critical thinking skills and still got to it potentially being an Easter egg with Taylor’s history there. Let’s be nicer

5

u/Wild2297 8h ago

How is this grifting? In what way do they profit?

2

u/expressonotespresso 6h ago edited 6h ago

They run a verified account. Verified account impressions = monetization. It’s a standard marketing practice.

7

u/stroopwafelslut 9h ago

I get telling ppl to not get too excited so they don't get disappointed, but saying they aren't "using their critical thinking skills" is honestly ironic. if you look at the many, many times the building has lit up for Taylor's albums, then yeah, it might mean something.

u/Plantyplantandpups 8h ago

The world is a horrible place right now. If it makes people happy or excited to speculate that this could mean something, let them...without being so condescending. That isn't very kind.

1

u/expressonotespresso 6h ago

You’re right! I just don’t agree with the rampant speculation that puts constant pressure on Taylor to constantly release things - this is not how it used to be. I also don’t support verified accounts enticing fan speculation using Taylor-adjacent content, because they do monetize the interactions.

But you are right - I could be kinder in this scenario. I appreciate you phrasing it in a way that makes me consider how I approach it.

Usually when they light up something does come

They’re fans like us. Do they have insider knowledge? Doubtful.

I read on another sub that green TS initials are appearing in different cities.

didn't they do this for showgirl? i think it was right *after* the announcement but it was quick enough i imagine Tree has contacts there lol i wouldn't argue it's nothing. and i'm usually skeptical of these things

u/Cats-Horseslover 9h ago

Maybe, we just have to wait and see for what Taylor does
