Taylor Swift sends mystery message with Chicago QR code mural ahead of album drop
A few days before her new album’s release, it seems the pop star is sending her fans on a scavenger hunt.
With the release of Taylor Swift’s eleventh album just three sleeps away, the pop superstar is drumming up hype the way she does it best — with a scavenger hunt.
On April 15, the Monday before “The Tortured Poets Department’s” debut on April 19, a curious mural cropped up on the side of a building in Chicago. The image is littered with “TTPD” letters and the number 13, telltale signs that this mural is meant for Swifties. At its center is a big QR code, and people have lined up to check it out.
Fans on TikTok who’ve investigated have found out that, when scanned with a smartphone camera, the QR code leads to a YouTube short on Taylor Swift’s official page: a brief clip with the message “Error 321.”
