Taylor Swift has insisted she will never include any Easter eggs about her personal life in her music.
Following the news that she will drop her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, on 3 October, the superstar made an appearance on the New Heights podcast on Wednesday.
While Taylor is known for incorporating clues in her lyrics and music videos for fans to decode, often labelled as Easter eggs, during the conversation with boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, the Cruel Summer hitmaker explained that she has "parameters" when it comes to hidden messages.
"I'm never going to plant an Easter egg that ties back to my personal life," she emphasised. "It's always going to be towards the music or something I have coming up, a plan I have coming together, something that you don't know why I'm saying for a specific reason, and you'll go back and be like, 'Oh my God.'"
Taylor went on to note that she included a number of Easter eggs for her 2022 album Midnights in the commencement speech she gave at New York University (NYU) earlier that year.
"I love numerology. I love math stuff. I love dates. That stuff I find really fun," the 35-year-old continued. "I want Easter eggs to be a certain thing where if you are part of the fandom, and you want to experience music in a normal way, then you don't even see these - you don't even care what that thing is above that doorway, under that dimly lit, flickering light over there that's upside-down, backwards in Braille. But if you want to look at that, you can. If you know, you know."
Elsewhere in the chat, Taylor teased The Life of a Showgirl.
The singer collaborated with "genius" producers Max Martin and Shellback on the upcoming project.
"The three of us have made some of my favourite songs that I've ever done before," she said, listing hits such as 22, Shake It Off, and Blank Space. "We've never actually made an album before where they're, where it's just the three of us... There's no other collaborators. It's just the three of us making a focused album."
