Taylor Swift fans wondering what Easter Eggs are in Google's mysterious vault puzzle

Taylor Swift fans “Swifties” are sure they must solve the challenge in order to access Taylor Swift's '1989' vault tracks

Taylor Swift also has a blank space, but this time it includes solving a vault challenge rather than writing down names. Fans of Swift noticed something strange when they Googled the artist's name over the weekend: a blue vault appeared, along with a mystery. The vault is not just linked to the October release of 1989 (Taylor's Version), but Swifties believe it may be the key to the vault tracks for the next album. 

When you Google the name of the pop star, you see a cool blue cave in the sand. When you click on the locked safe, a blue puzzle with letters of different colors pops up. At first, "My name is Taylor and I was born in" was the only "clue" for the puzzle. Fans were supposed to put in "1989 Taylor's Version," using all of the letters in the puzzle.  

When you type the solution into the Google search window, another notice appears that says, "You solved 1 puzzle!”
Coders and fans have figured out what Swifties have to do to open Swift's vault.

Some super coders in the fandom have examined the code and believe the final prize for completing the challenge is vault tracklist names.

The word "Delight" is hidden within the coding of the Google vault puzzle, according to a Twitter user..

Another Twitter user posted a video delving deeper into the code. She observes that one photo within the code depicts the vault itself. She also discovered that audio is supposed to play "during the final reward." Other words in the code include "Easter egg" and "New puzzle." 

As the previous user also mentioned, Delight appears "quite a few times," making it appear even more likely that it's a vault track. She also discovered the phrase "global progress" encoded in the code, implying that the number of people  that solve the vault problem may cause something bigger to happen, potentially implying that we "must work together" to get to the final prize. 

Swift's latest Easter egg search and puzzle-solving antics have admirers on the verge of tears. Something is about to  be released once Swifties have solved 33 million puzzles. The fact that "Wednesday" is a response could also refer to something happening tomorrow, Sept. 20.
