Taylor Swift’s new album, Lover, was leaked early on the internet today.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Taylor Swift Album Release Day! Er, well, sorta. In case you missed it, Taylor’s highly anticipated album, Lover, somehow magically popped up on the internet in FULL today. Every single track is floating around Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, message boards—you name it, it’s OUT out. You know, despite the fact that it was supposed to officially drop tomorrow. People can’t seem to hold their horses, can they???

Once news hit the internet, fans of Taylor were hella mad that people couldn’t be patient. We know Lover is going to make millions regardless, but the main reason fans are pressed is because they want Taylor’s album to be available tomorrow, as she initially intended!

After angry Swifties went off about why people shouldn’t listen to the album yet, some took it a step further and swiftly (sorry) came up with a plan to take the album down by reporting people who posted leaks to their social media accounts. It was a whole lot, TBH.

Lover is leaked...



To any mutual I have, pls don't share the leaks by posting it. It's not fair for Taylor Swift or her team. Let's respect her own work and in few hours we can hear all her work.



We should respect any artist work! — Amy 🦋 (@cyrusxgrxnde) August 22, 2019

Other fans, though, were too tempted to resist listening to the album. According to True Swifties™, those casual fans need to be reported too...but that’s none of my business.

Listening to the Lover album leaked is basically like sneaking a look at the tree on Christmas Eve to catch Santa in the act. You just don’t do it. It’s shit karma. And your name will probably end up on a list checked twice in red underline. 🤷🏻‍♀️🌲🙃 — Lindsay (@LindsayLovesTS) August 22, 2019

The news of the leak comes after Taylor announced yesterday that she’ll be rerecording her entire discography after Scooter Braun purchased some of her masters. During her GMA performance today, Taylor said that Lover will be the first album that she will truly own, so this leak likely isn’t something she would want. “Something that’s very special to me about this album is it’s the first one that I will own,” she said. “My contract says starting from November 2020, I can start rerecording albums 1–5. I think artists deserve to own their own work. It’s next year, I’m gonna be busy.”



Welp, good luck with rerecording those masters, Taylor! We’ll be waiting to listen to Lover tomorrow, as you intended.
