Taylor Swift’s kooky Halloween costume sparked further theories about her current work projects among fans on Sunday.
The Cardigan songstress, 31, took to Instagram and Twitter during the spooky holiday to share an image showing her dressed in a huge squirrel costume, alongside the caption: ‘Can’t talk right now, I’m doin hot squirrel s**t’.
While the look was seemingly innocent to some, others took the look as a hint at an upcoming release, as many speculated that she was alluding to her re-recorded video for her 2012 song We Are Never Getting Back Together.
It was revealed last year that Taylor would be re-recording all of her albums following a massive public fall-out with Scooter Braun and her former label, Big Machine, and she now seems to be hinting at her work via Halloween.
Squirreling around! Taylor Swift showed off a massive furry squirrel costume and joked ‘can’t talk right now, I’m doin hot squirrel s**t’ as she led with humour on Halloween
Taylor posted two photos to Instagram and Twitter, one of her from the side and one straight on.
The costume was brown with a white tummy and undertail to matching the squirrel’s markings and included an enormous head with two buck teeth.
The Wildest Dreams singer tucked her blonde locks into a braid for the evening and seemed to go with a bright pink lipstick for a splash of color.
Her group of Swifties delighted in the costume as Twitter went wild, but a majority thought there was a larger meaning to the seemingly innocent ensemble.
