On Jan. 27, Taylor Swift released the music video for "Lavender Haze," off her album "Midnights." Following "Anti-Hero" and "Bejeweled," this is the third track off her latest album to have a music video. The enchanting video follows Taylor through a fever dream filled with purple pools, lavender fields, and a hazy house party all while she embraces being in love.
As the singer-turned-director previously revealed on Instagram, "Lavender haze means the 'all-encompassing love glow.'" She explained she picked up the term from the television show Mad Men: "It turns out that it’s a common phrase used in the ‘50s, where they would just describe being in love."
Tay's love interest is played by trans model and artist Laith Ashley, who Taylor said she “absolutely adored working with" on Twitter.
But as every Swiftie knows, Taylor's music videos are usually ridden with Easter eggs — and this one seems to be no exception. In fact, the first potential Easter egg appeared to fall on Jan. 26 when Taylor announced the music video was coming. Strangely enough, her ex-boyfriend, John Mayer, also announced his first acoustic tour that day. Coincidence? We think not.
Keep reading to see what other potential Easter eggs are hidden in the "Lavender Haze" music video.

During her tour for her 2010 album "Speak Now", she played a blue guitar that had four red and yellow koi fish printed on it. Many fans believe that Taylor is trying to communicate that "Speak Now" will be the next album she rereleases.
