Another X user wrote, “My theory is that she planted some of these ‘Easter eggs’ before actually writing the album, and incorporated them into her marketing. The door probably just meant ‘next album’, rather than anything specific about the album or even a timeline of when the album would come out”.

Earlier this year in April 2024, Taylor released the album The Tortured Poets Department. Just two hours later, she surprised fans with an expanded double album, The Anthology. These albums dominated sales charts and became the year’s best-selling albums, as reported by The Hindustan Times.
