Taylor Swift is dropping Easter eggs about The Tortured Poets Department.

On April 16, Spotify hosted a pop-up exhibit at The Grove in Los Angeles, during which Swifties were given the chance to walk around a library-themed room riddled with subtle clues about Swift’s upcoming album.

The pop-up, which will be open until April 18, was “highly curated to represent the direction of the new record” and will be updated each day “with additional aspects, creating a one-of-a-kind experience,” per a press release from Spotify.

In addition to containing a book with new lyrics from the album, it also included lots of imagery that appears to tease the content of the upcoming album, as well as possible nods to her previous relationship with actor Joe Alwyn.

Shortly after the pop-up opened, Swift dropped another surprise: a teaser posted to social media that announced her new video on April 19.

Like many of her music videos, the clip is filled with Easter eggs. It starts in a Midnights-themed room before heading down a white hallway and entering an office where there are two desks, two typewriters and the clock is set to 2:00.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the biggest Easter eggs from the Spotify exhibit and what they could signal for the new album.
