Taylor Swift dropped four new songs at midnight Friday, expanding "The Life of a Showgirl" into "The Encore" with "Patient Zero," "Cleveland!," "Pink Clouding," and "Babylon." Page Six's Easter egg roundup decodes "Cleveland!" as a love letter to husband Travis Kelce — and fans are already theorizing about which ex inspired "Patient Zero."
Variety's review finds Swift balancing barbs at her exes with rapturous odes to her groom. Unfinished business meets honeymoon glow. And the victory lap continues Sunday, when a star-studded "Patient Zero" video featuring Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell premieres at the VMAs.
