Devoted Swifties have been known to pore over Taylor Swift's lyrics, album liner notes, music videos, style choices, and social media posts searching for easter eggs the pop icon has hidden in plain sight for fans to find.

"As long as they still find it fun and exciting, I'll keep doing it." This is the story behind how the hidden messages all started, and 80+ of her most brilliant easter eggs yet.
