(Uncensored Video) The Taylor Swift Easter Egg to Meth Math Pipeline

It started with secret messages in album liner notes. It ended in meth math. In this episode, we unpack how Taylor Swift’s innocuous, juicy easter eggs spiraled into a full-blown fandom obsession. From real clues to completely made-up conspiracies, we trace the descent, and try to answer one question: when did easter egg hunting become a diagnosable condition?

another Evermore easter egg that I lived to see…for one of the folklore merch drops you had to enter a code and it was WRECKMYPLANS

ImNachoPrincess

stood on the cliff side screaming MADELINE GO BLONDE

Peyton Prichard

Someone literally commented this above 😭 come on, girls. we can’t be serious!

Alexandria Roswick

I'm holding your hand I love labyrinth 😂

Chelsea Bauscher

WWWW 🫶🏻 for Madeline

Chelsea Bauscher

I was there that day at the Grove pop-up and the LINE was insane. Did I wait?? Well, yes. I got a free picture and a bookmark and I was just happy to take in the set-up they did there whether or not there were easter eggs or not!! And it was cool when we figured out they were showing us lyrics for the music to come ☺️ but it wasn't that serious 😭 again, the line was just wrong...

Madeline bringing up evanescence’s anywhere but home dvd easter egg after I randomly decided to stream that album last week after not listening to it for probably 10 years! 🤯 If I remember correctly, the band’s logo would also appear in a weird part of the menu screen and take you to that song called “missing” (I think). Great ep guys!

CJ

LET ME ONE UP YOU GUYS! The night she played for the 1975 show, she wa not only "bejewelled" but her dress had large silver panels on it... like a MIRRORBALL!!! Folklore easter egg, she was literally telling Matty that Folklore was about him in certain ways with her dress, so TTPD easter egg as well!!!

Shravya Katapally

Girls can someone tell me if I’ve missed the extra ticket release for London sneras??? I’ve got a ticket but need another?? Anyone got the inside info?

Bee Elliott

will be watching on the treadmill today🙌 listened to the audio while working and a fantastic episode! thank you so much for uploading!

Kate!!!

i have a deranged theory that thank you aimee wasnt about kim and she used a code name to talk about her

chris

Gaylors show up = omg someone farted— that sent me 💀

Miss_Lippy

I'm honestly so grateful to have found Zach and Madeline - I only became a swiftie around the Midnights era and I initially just believed all the insane theories as I didn't know better. It's really nice to have found a space in the fandom that has more balanced approach generally. It's very refreshing!

The Christmas tree in the me! video made me think of lover title track because of “we could leave the Christmas lights up til January” 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anywho, I hate the meth math. Like doing literal math to predict things ??? Insanity. The “233 day” theory or whatever the fuck -_- stfu please. Also thinking that EVERY SINGLE OUTFIT is an egg for something every time she’s seen in public. The most insane thing I saw was someone saying her visit to the CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL was an Easter egg for TS12 because she was wearing an opal ring and opal is October so something is coming in October…also I need people to STFU about her wearing plaid 😭

Marah

Not to add another loony Easter Egg… but on “Snow On The Beach Ft More Lana” at 2:13, you can hear Taylor humming “but I am so productive”. She was hinting at TTPD months in advanced. 🤓😅

Sean

as a new listener Labyrinth slander was not on my bingo card 😦

Aimee

I had to stop interacting with most swiftie spaces online because the nonsense eggs drive me CRAZYY

ducky

That 1989 crop top set and shoes look just like her eras 1989 outfit

Dana Hinton

Speaking of surprise songs being eggs, mine were Forever & Always and This Love and Matty was at my show. This Love perfectly explains what she thought she was getting out of that relationship, we just didn't know until we heard TTPD. And Forever & Always .... I was there when you said forever & always, you didn't mean it baby .... is that not what ended up happening? She absolutely didn't intend that implication (she actually said it was Lena Dunham's birthday and she requested it) but it came true in a way. I think about that surprise song combo at least once a week it's crazy how it all played out in the end

Isabel

The roses mention unlocked a memory I didn’t know I had! And the leak sounded so much like Taylor and nothing like what ended up on the album. The leak was a pop song.

Tony

Got the notification this morning and have been waiting all day to watch. Totally worth the wait!

Alexandra Sansone

Go ice blond, Zack

Dana Hinton

Heirloom turkey or calling Joe the turkey is the only thing I’m 100000% sure is an EOAS exclusive

Zachary Hourihane

i love how i was able to witness your guys’ reaction to the IDWLF secret song. what an iconic moment.

kyla

Grubby gremlin here: now that we wont get Reptv, will you guys be going thru the tracking like the other albums? Like your reaction to them when they came out?

Forty2times

Honestly a head full of neutral or warm blonde highlights would look soooooo good on Madeline. (Definitely not ashy!!!)

Jules

I think the Christmas tree was for the lover music video

💘

I fell for the 5 holes in the fence, but I thought it turned out to be “sneaking in through the garden gate”

Kenna

The easter eggs are pr branding now, how can i make them bring me more views 💰. If it didn't affect the art i wouldn't care but every videos are CGI x easter eggs propagada i can't. I wonder if it will change a bit since Sabrina or Chappell are making better videos for ex, she might think i need to do better. But a girl can just hope 😑 especially when she doesn't need to do better since the crazies are here do bring the numbers 🤷. It would be good to have some music video's director but she loves to be the boss, i made it all Marc by Marc Jacobs by Marc Jacobs you know 😂

CamilleC

Matty situation is one big Eater egg that she’s been cooking for several years 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Anastasia Davydova

I would have never been able to keep a straight face while using a speech to Easter egg my new album 🫡

lucca_ns

Also, the Super Saturday Night Concert was an easter egg for Reputation she did in the beginning of 2017 so she was thinking about Rep, the outfit, the blacklipstic, her moves are very rep coded in that concert. She also played This Is What You Came For (guitar) and I Don't Wanna Live Forever.

Enzo Reis

57:26 I remember that people saw the snakes getting formed posts ande before they saw the whole snake picture they thought that it was a lizard or a dragon (me being one of them I thought it was a dragon 😂😂😂).

Enzo Reis

The fuckassfilter was used before I think 🤔

JJ

Madeline your shirt is SOOO cunty

Andres

My favorite “Easter egg” in the new era is “swirled you into all of my poems.” The liner notes gagged me as a teen, and this feels like a continuation of that. What a delicious treat to go back to the previous 3 albums and connect the dots. Keep the eggs to the music, Tay!

Elle Kaye

They could both get wigs 😄

Maria

Ps they were all from creators or social media not related to the Swiftologist/Lizard

LH

Are all of these yours? Because I’ve heard them elsewhere..”fuck ass filter” “meth math” “joever” “tayvoodoo” “turkey” and the list goes on. I can sight sources.

LH

But…You Need to Calm Down literally won a VMA, right?? #award

Ally ❤️

This is so timely bc I just saw a TT where a girl was claiming that you can hear Taylor humming ICDIWABH in the background of Snow on the Beach like girl what 😭

Erin Oliver

Just wanna mention my favorite Easter egg from 1989 - the mention of the paper airplane necklaces

Anastasia Sapronova

Resident snake hairstylist, talk to me, girly. What are you thinking? I can give you an over the Patreon consultation.

Kylee

omg thank you for mentioning im alright. i haven't heard anyone talk about it in yearssss but i could recite the whole thing to this day lol. it goes hard I can't even lie and the girl who made it sounded so much like taylor it's scary.

eden

5 Holes in the Fence forever tilted the earth off its axis

Ryan

Tayvoodoo EOAS copyright??

Lara Visser

My fave easter egg is her posting red shoes in the studio

Mikee Dayrit

She only said we didn’t figure out the Lover title cause she wanted us to keep watching and get more views lol she knew… she knew.

Carey

Also I think Troye Sivan was going to be an opener for Loverfest.

Leslie

I forgot that she said she started Easter egging in rep music videos because she wasn't talking to the media... I feel like that kind of gives the game away and really exposes her "easter eggs" for what they are, which is really just a way of keeping up fan engagement, keeping her name in headlines, and setting a narrative without having to go through traditional media/promo channels to do it. It's like she's gone all-in on the easter egg thing because she doesn't know how else to accomplish that. It's unfortunate that her visuals have suffered for it.

Leslie

Madeline you should get a wig at least!!! Or do it idk it would GAG

Carey

eoas southeast asia edition???

Mikee Dayrit

Travis Kelce definitely mentioned the 'fuck ass filter' his and Jason's podcast!

Róisín

Taylor looks like swiftologist in the second photo of his insta dump 😍 btw so excited for this episode especially on this blessed day which the twitter swifties are going insane for no reason for !

Noah B.

We’ve been needing this 🍴

Mallory Moran

The first album I ever bought for myself was fearless .When I was younger I thought the liner notes were just normal and I was confused on why other artists didn’t do it and why people thought it was weird to do

Abby Voelk

Ohhhhh please bleach it and grand reveal at the London show 🙏🏼 we are not worthy

Kat M 💜✨

As a newcomer I looked for a solid Swift education. I found you two thank goodness. I am a pupil of yours. Unfortunately I also found the crazies on TikTok and thought they might have something to add to my education. They did not. Meth math it surely is.

Dana Hinton

The way I’d stand up for 6 hours straight to see EOAS live…. 🧍‍♀️

Lexi

How do I get this on the feed of my local meth mathers

Shantini Vyas

This won’t reach the target audience I fear

Shantini Vyas

I watched the episode yesterday of Danielle’s birthday message to Madeline. You both mentioned that if you ever do a show in Ireland you hope to meet her. Well? Please say she gets a friends and family ticket! Also please press record on your phone for the Bleachella show! Give me the audio at least pretty please!

Dana Hinton

It's not often that I'm happy to be in a wildly different timezone than my favourite creators, but today I am so so grateful for my place in the space-time continuum 🙂‍↕️

staymad

let’s go!!
