【Nikki Nova Archives】

Taylor Swift may be Nikki Nova Archivesabout to begin the #TS6 era. Early Friday, eagle-eyed fans spotted that the singer’s various social media accounts had gone dark, with her image erased from all of them. Years worth of tweets were gone from her Twitter (currently the most recent are from 2009) and, as of this writing, every photo from her instagram is totally deleted.

Additionally, TaylorSwift.com just takes you to a blank spacescreen. Mashablereached out to the singer’s publicist to confirm that the data deletion was intentional and not a hack but did not immediately hear back. IfSwift is about to drop a single, the timing makes sense. Today marks the three-year anniversary of when she last dropped a lead single, “Shake It Off” for 1989back in 2014. 1989, of course, went on to win the Grammy for Album of the Year.

A single drop would mark the relative return of one of the most famous women in the world, who has been mostly behind the scenes for much of 2017, rarely sharing updates on social media and for the most part not being photographed. (Last week, she earned a legal victory in her assault and battery lawsuit against the DJ she accused of groping her. )

While the clues are small, they're there, causing fans to begin freaking out at the prospect of new music from the singer. If Swift does indeed drop a single soon, look for her sixth studio album to be out later this fall if she follows the same record release schedule as she's stuck to in the past. That's assuming, of course, that Swift doesn't pull a Beyonce and release the whole thing at once.

Either ways, fans are ready.
