Taylor Swift just announced her new album, Reputation. It's her first album in three years, her sixth ever — and it comes out Nov. 10.
She also released an image that many are assuming is the album cover for Reputation. It features Swift staring straight into the camera, with newsprint bearing her name all around her.
In the wake of the announcement and the release of the image, many took to social media to hypothesize that Swift is tying herself to the national conversation around "fake news."

While others just straight-up compared Swift to Trump.
Taylor Swift most likely relates to Trump bc they both share a creepy Machiavellian desire for power and domination of enemies
This album will be the final piece of the Taylor Swift = Donald Trump puzzle.
Taylor Swift is the Donald Trump of music. She picks fights with everyone, her appeal is exclusively to white people, and it's vindictive
