Taylor Swift fans crashed Google while trying to solve the "1989 Taylor's Version" Vault puzzle

Taylor Swift fans “Swifties” have crashed Google while attempting to solve the "1989 Taylor's Version" Vault Puzzles

Swifties all around the world have been reporting seeing a small blue vault in the corner of Google while searching Taylor Swift's name, implying that the 1989 (Taylor's Version) Vault will be available shortly. Taylor herself stated Tuesday morning that it is, in fact, here.

Taylor Swift has been releasing a few of "From The Vault" tracks from her past albums — aka songs that didn't make the final cut originally, but are now being released as "Taylor's Version" re-recordings. Taylor, like the glittering, pop princess, gave fans a series of riddles to solve in order to uncover the names of her “Fearless” and "Red”  re-records.

Taylor collaborated with Google to produce a set of 89 word-scramble puzzles for fans to complete for “1989”. The vault will be unlocked once 33 million puzzles have been decoded worldwide. Taylor lwill reveal the identities of the songs, which may be a snippet or something similar to bonus songs.

When the fans learned about the puzzles, they donned their Sherlock hats and set to work solving them. Swiftie's steady progress, however, came to a halt as the vault began to glitch.  Google's recent tweet backs up the claim that Taylor's admirers did, in fact, crash Google systems. The company stated on X (Twitter) that the vault is now broken and is being repaired. This is not the first time Taylor Swift's supporters have brought down an internet platform; Ticketmaster has some experience in this area. 
The fans who have made it this far are certainly hard at work trying to open the vault. 

Swift announced the re-recording of her "1989" album as she wrapped up the first leg of her record-breaking Eras tour in the United States. Her first six albums' original recordings were held by a record label, as is commonly the case. They were finally sold to a private equity firm, despite Swift's public opposition.

Swift is now re-recording and re-releasing previously sold tracks, as well as including previously unheard songs on each album. Each re-recorded song and album title prominently displays the phrase "Taylor's Version."

Swift has two albums to re-record after the release of "1989 (Taylor's Version)" this fall before she owns all of her songs.
