Real Reasons Fans Think Taylor Swift & Nicki Minaj Are Teasing A Collaboration

Here’s Why Fans Think Taylor Swift & Nicki Minaj Are Teasing A Collaboration

 

 

 

 

Taylor Swift fans were struggling Tuesday as the pop sensation sent them on a virtual Easter egg hunt to reveal her new “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” track titles — only to be faced with technical difficulties.

 

 

 

 

 

Swift announced her upcoming “1989” re-recording last month while performing in Los Angeles, and that “Taylor’s Version” will include previously unreleased songs. Vault songs have been included in her three prior re-recording releases as an extra perk for fans who stream and purchase the albums.

Swift previously revealed vault tracks for “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” and “Red (Taylor’s Version)” by releasing a video of scrambled letters.

Google announced Tuesday that its search function will populate a series of 89 puzzles that fans can solve to eventually reveal the names of those new songs.

“You’ll be helping Swifties around the world get out of the woods (or unlock the vault) as everyone collectively solves 33 million puzzles,” Google said. “And that’s how it works, that’s how you get the vault track titles!”

Some international fans first noticed a little blue vault populate on Saturday when searching “Taylor Swift,” building anticipation as Swifties awaited the reveal of what the vault meant.

 

The puzzle began with the vault revealing a scrambled version of Swift’s upcoming album name and would reveal more puzzles as participants entered answers into the search bar.

 

 

meanwhile, As 1989 (Taylor’s Version) draws nearer, Taylor Swift is ramping up her teases and Easter eggs. On Tuesday (Sept. 19), Google launched a new pop-up animation in honor of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) — and based on some of the puzzles, fans think a Nicki Minaj collaboration could be imminent.

 

 

If you search “Taylor Swift” on the search engine, a new pop-up will offer one of 89 puzzles that fans are tasked with solving to “unlock Taylor’s vault.” Each puzzle asks the user to unscramble a word and then type it into the Google search bar to solve the exercise. Sharing the new feature on her Instagram page, Swift wrote, “You can tell me when the *search* is over… if the high was worth the pain 😎,” a reference to “Blank Space,” one of three Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles from the original 1989.

 

 

First, Swift and Minaj are both Sagittariuses given their Dec. 13 and Dec. 8 birthdays, respectively. At the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (Sept. 12), after accepting her third trophy from Minaj — who served as the night’s emcee — Swift said, “That’s my favorite Sagittarius over there,” eliciting a giant smile and an enthusiastically affirmative response from the “Last Time I Saw You” rapper. Minaj has been a devoted champion of her star sign for years, so this came as no surprise to her biggest fans.

I Have An Idea For Govt, Families For February 14
-Ajadi

It is February 14, and Nigerian politician, entrepreneur and humanist, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo says he has an idea for governments, organisations and couples that would revolutionise society’s cohesion.
He in fact, has thrown a challenge to these quarters, concerning this year’s St Valentin’s Day, how they should celebrate it differently and more impactfully.

-Ajadi

According to him, it should go beyond mere commemorations to heart-felt interventions and legacy projects that improve the wellbeing of people in the society

The entrepreneur-politician said, there could be no better way to join in an event that is synonymous with love, than sinking or implementing projects or programmes that truly touch the lives of the people, changing it for the better.

Sincere affection for the people, he said, should be enough motivation for others holding responsible positions in government, to go beyond tokenism this time but really provide for their people, life-transforming projects and policies.

Even for those who may not have material things to give, Ambassador Ajadi is of the opinion that the season of St Valentine, should motive them to love and care genuinely, shun greed, selfishness, wickedness, materialism bitterness, hate, murder, and the other vices which tend to characterise the society.

It is excellent to see individual lovers sharing cards and gifts at Valentine Day, but how about seeing projects tied to uplifting the people and improving their lifestyles being commissioned and handed over this season as a token of love”, he asked.

Commending organisations and individuals who usually reach out to the underprivileged during St Valentine Day every February 14, Ambassador Ajadi urged them not to relent, as they were fulfilling a great role in society for which they would be rewarded at due time.

“You will agree with me that, if we can imbibe this style of celebration, it will help us to achieve a lot improving the lives of our people, and making the society generally safer.

“It is something that any representative who truly loves his constituency should think about, execute a life impactful project, borne out of genuine love for your constituency that you can deliver during the season of February 14”.

Bemoaning the increasing hardship in the country, he urged Nigerians not to allow them to stop being one another’s keeper.

Ajadi who recently celebrated his marriage anniversary also challenged couples to use Valentina day celebration to renew their relationship.

According to him, families have a lot of roles to play in society even as healthy families will translate to healthy societies and vice versa.

“My admonition to couples is to use this February 14 Valentine’s Day to profess their love afresh to their partners.

“They should remember that they owe each other genuine affection and love, which will also show on their children.

“Let the love professed by St. Valentine on February 14 be seen in their actions towards one another.

“Let couples be there for each come rain, come shine and our society will be better again “.

Bemoaning the rampant cases of ritual killing, kidnapping and murders, he described them also as symptoms of a lack of genuine love in the society
