There’s a typo on some of Taylor Swift’s new “ME!” merch—could it be a TS7 Easter egg?
Taylor Swift recently released new merch to welcome her new era. It’s appropriately vibrant and candy-colored to match her new single “ME!,” its whimsical music video, and Swift’s equally bubbly new Instagram aesthetic. It’s a stark departure from the red and black tones of her Reputation era, that’s for sure.
But some eagle-eyed fans noticed a pretty glaring typo on one of Swift’s new shirts, which are available for sale on her official website. While some Swifties are complaining about the less-than-diligent design error, others think it might actually be one of Swift’s infamous Easter eggs. Either way, the shirt with the typo could be worth big bucks one day.
Here’s the “ME!” merch typo in question.
EXCUSE ME! I've had this shirt for nearly a month and you're telling me it's had a typo THIS WHOLE TIME!! pic.twitter.com/8P9p6BPMuV

In the printed lyrics from “ME!,” the apostrophe in “you’re” is out of place. The irony is rich, given that in another lyric from the song, Swift croons, “Spelling is fun!” Oops.
my shirt has the typo too 😂😭 pic.twitter.com/Q7nRobNioP

Some Swifties couldn’t believe the inaccuracy of the typo, especially given the “spelling is fun” part of the same exact song.

The importance of proofing cannot be overstated.

Releasing merch with a fucking TYPO for a song where the lyrics are "spelling is fun" is peak comedy, who in Taylors merch team did this, watch them say they did it on purpose jdkdkd

Others actually think it might have been a deliberate error.
Could it be a subtle nod-and-wink to the line in the song, or a secret message?
OMFG. Everyone with a typo on their pink ME! Shirt is going to a secret session. 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 pic.twitter.com/T4Sl2AkSUA

Isn’t this ironically perfect tho. I mean the quote says “You’re the only one of you, Baby that’s the fun of you” this shirt with its typo makes it one of its kind and makes it a fun happy accident lol unless it was intentional 🤔

YOUR’E.
But let’s be real, @taylorswift13 always knows what she’s doing. This has to be an Easter egg. @taylornation13 pic.twitter.com/6pTBAMer2x— Nikita (Taylor’s Version) 🕰💙 (@nikita__ramirez) June 6, 2019
Swift hasn’t addressed the typo yet, nor whether the shirt has been or will be fixed. It seems that not every shirt features the typo, so stay tuned, Swifties, and check your closets.
