Taylor Swift Sends Fans Scrambling to Solve New Vault Puzzle
After her mid-June announcement revealing Red as the next re-recording project, Taylor Swift has given fans another hint at what’s to come.
In her initial statement about the release, the details of what would change in the repackaging were fairly vague. But on Thursday morning, Swift posted a clip of a vault holding a mix of scrambled letters inside.
Fans all over Twitter began jumping to the challenge to decipher this new clue, unsure of what questions the crossword puzzle could answer.
Twitter user @newrommantics was quick to get all the offered letters on the page, tweeting out “luckily i have no plans today xox” in response to the artist’s tweet.

Shortly after, more Swifties quickly noticed “Bridgers” being clearly spelled out on the last line of the page. “Phoebe” was found as well, and as fans put 2 and 2 together, Phoebe Bridgers is assumed to be among Red (Taylor’s Version)’s featured artists.

As the masses continued to gather their answers, additional big-name features included original “Everything Has Changed” co-singer Ed Sheeran and Taylor’s Version addition Chris Stapleton.
On par with fan speculation, “All Too Well Ten Minute Version” was officially confirmed with the crossword.
