5 Things Taylor Swift Could Announce During Her Live Stream

This is the most likely scenario. If you’re having deja vu, there’s a reason -- Swift did almost the same thing in August 2012 before revealing ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ and her ‘Red’ album. That announcement was made in front of fans via a streaming event, and she even performed! An August single would lead to an October or November album. Both are prime shopping months. And if history holds true, this would mean a 2015 tour.

What she’s calling the trilogy might be kept secret for a later date. Some of the hot rumors are ‘Polaroid,’ Skyline’ and ‘Shake It Off.’ We’re also hearing the album could be released on October 13, but that’s little more than rumor. It’s a Monday (albums are usually, but not always, released on Tuesday), but it is a "13" -- Swift’s favorite number.

This isn't intended as a slight toward one of country's most successful artists of all time, but her pure country fans need a little love. Or, they at least need to know that she's taking a sabbatical from country music to chase new inspirations and ideas. That's fine -- Faith Hill did it successfully in the early '00s before making a country comeback several years later. The murky middle is confusing, leaving fans of both styles unsure if they'll like the new project in its entirety.

Meredith and Olivia Benson may need a new playmate, especially if Ms. Swiftie is going to be on the road. And let’s be honest about who’s in charge in the Swift household ... the cats rule with an iron paw.

Who would ever see this coming? Swift hasn’t been rumored to be dating anyone for months, so this would be a huge shock! OK, it’s unlikely. In fact, Swift announcing a trip to the moon may be more likely. She'd no doubt find a classier way to announce her nuptials, and a secret this big would surely have leaked.
