Ahead of the album's announcement, social media was buzzing with excitement, with many fans speculating that Sabrina Carpenter, who's been making a name for herself with hits like Espresso, could be collaborating with Swift on the new album. This all began because Carpenter's website also mentioned August 12.

Apart from that, several notable entities joined in the Swiftie-mania, including Netflix, Walmart, and the Empire State Building's X account. The common consensus is that everyone is ready for a ‘new era’, or are excited to see what Taylor has in store for fans next.

With the album announcement generating a lot of excitement, Swift is heading to a podcast episode hosted by her partner, NFL star, Travis Kelce. Swift's new album is more than likely to come up during the conversation. Episodes of the podcast are out on Wednesdays at 7 pm ET.
