Empire State Building Lights Up in Bright Orange in Anticipation of Taylor Swift’s New Album originally appeared on Parade.
Fellow Swifties, it’s finally happening: New Taylor Swift music is almost here. After dropping hints involving the color orange on Monday, August 11 and a countdown to 12:12 a.m., Swift revealed that her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, is on the way with more details to come later this week.
Understandably, fans have been in a tizzy ever since, and apparently, that even includes one major New York City landmark. In this video from the Empire State Building’s official TikTok account, we see that the legendary skyscraper has lit up orange in anticipation of Swift’s latest career move, and it is everything.
Empire State Building, the color orange looks good on you!
The video, which was posted on Monday, shows a very orange building set to Swift’s song “…Ready for It?” as the caption confirms, “oh, we’re definitely ready for it.”
This isn’t the first time that the account for the building has shown what big fans of Swift they are. Many times in the past, they’ve joined in with Swifties’ excitement, including posting this tribute on the singer’s birthday in 2023.
The Life of a Showgirl is now available for pre-preorder (yes, you read that right) on Swift’s website, but so far, that’s all the information she’s shared about the album — the title, that is.
It seems that the rest of the details, like the album cover and the release date, are coming when Swift appears on New Heights, the podcast boyfriend Travis Kelce co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce, on Wednesday night.
All will be revealed soon. Now that the Empire State Building is getting hyped, who’s next? Statue of Liberty, it’s your move.
