The rumour mill is in COMPLETE OVERDRIVE regarding Taylor Swift and her next album, I'm going to copy and paste various rumours from ATRL and see what we have!

Here are the rumors that have been going around for TS6 since July within the fandom:
- Taylor has been allegedly writing specifically for TS6 since the end of the 1989 tour (December 2015), but has had ideas since June 2015. Some of the notes she took/lyrics she physically wrote out for the album will be displayed at the Taylor Swift Education Center in May 2017.
- According to sources, 16 tracks made the regular album and the deluxe will contain bonus footage from the making of the album. It’ll also have two features, and one will be unexpected but gain her a huger following - possibly uncensored cut/acoustic side.
- There probably won’t be a live stream announcement for TS6 as Taylor’s looking for a more low key release (surprise album drop?) to contrast with her former major promo in the lead up to albums. Taylor’s label is expecting sales of 1.5M within the first week. There will be another event for fans this time round that’s not the Secret Sessions (as of August 2016).
- The genre is reportedly her own twist on alternate pop and unlike anything ever heard on radio before. This could possibly create an entire new sound and following in the music industry. The entire album will have a similar sound to Lorde’s Pure Heroine and Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive albums.
- Collaborations on the album are supposedly Lorde (a track produced by Jack Antonoff) and male artist Taylor has never worked with before. Dann Huff, Max Martin, Shellback, Ariel Rechtshaid, and Linda Perry are all producers on the album.
- Multiple aspects of TS6 (release dates, tours, etc) have reputedly been created in mimic of Fearless (2008). The album will be “sonically cohesive”.
- The lead single will be purportedly performed between Sparks Fly and Red at the Formula 1 show in Texas, and again on GMA. Anyone who attends the Formula 1 show will recognise the stage as its one she’s used from a previous tour (my money’s on Fearless).
- The album ostensibly will include promotional “tour tickets”. Tickets labelled at “#13” will win M&Gs to a show of their choice.
- TS6 is apparently being referred to in code as “Thirteen”, and this speculation has been concreted by the photograph uploaded to social media by Taylor of the “13” shirt AT&T sent in advance to their show scheduled in February 2017.

Someone emailed TaylorSwift.com / messaged TaylorNation saying this:

Almost all of the 1989 merchandise is on sale, but some are not being restocked. Correct? Is this because taylorswift.com is making room for TS6 merch?
Thank you!

After which they were replied to with this:

Hi Abbey,
Unfortunately, the 1989 items will not be restocked. We will however, have new merchandise before Christmas.

She then asked to what type of merchandise and if it was TS6 related, to which they replied:

You'll have to wait and see

HDD ALSO HAS TEASED TAYLOR!:

Q4 KILLERS: Which home-stretch releases will rule? Is it Christmas yet?

Q4 Killers: in case you can tear yourself from the latest electoral revelations, here are a few other trending topics worthy of your attention. We speak, naturally, of HITS List, spotlighting the Grammys and folks with names like Strang, Klaiman, Takhar, Gaga, Swift and, uh, who's the YouTube guy again?

Also Scott Borchetta DELETED his tweet saying TS6 wasn't coming in 2016. He also tweeted this:

START. YOUR. ENGINES. @LewisHamilton @BigMachine @dariofranchitti @TonyKanaan @MarioAndretti @scottdixon9 @circuitamericas

Why would he @ BigMachine?

and Scott followed a bunch of Swifties on Instagram and Taylor liked and followed on Tumblr/Instagram

Kesha posted: https://www.instagram.com/p/BKOpMJTgFCh/

Many people are speculating Kesha is writing a comeback song with Taylor Swift after her latest instagram post:

1. this is Max Martins studio
2. "casual" Grammy winner
3. 13 emojis (Tays fav number, she inserts it everywhere)
4. Taylor has been working on TS6 since July 2015

The Weeknd cancelled his performance at the event where Taylor's performing and they then hyped 'something'.

Circuit of Americas: We're sad to report The Weeknd will be unable to make his scheduled set USGP Sunday. All upgrade tickets will be automatically refunded.

But that doesn't necessarily mean the party isn't happening...

Exhausted? I am too! But all this in revolving around Taylor performing at the US F1 Grand Prix on October 22, could it be?
