Taylor Swift’s New Merch is Going Viral and The Reason is Hilarious
Taylor Swift's latest song, "Me" features Panic! At The Disco's Brendon Urie.
Despite claiming in the song that "spelling is fun," Taylor's new merch for the track features a major typo.
Of course, Twitter is having a field day over the blunder.
A little over a month after informing kids of the fun of spelling, Taylor Swift is eating her words because fans have noticed that a limited-edition tee from the singer's merch line features a pretty bad typo and, of course, Twitter cannot get enough.
The line "You're the only one of you, baby that's the fun of you" is written on the shirt, but one fan noticed the misplacement of an apostrophe, which turned you're into your'e.
EXCUSE ME! I've had this shirt for nearly a month and you're telling me it's had a typo THIS WHOLE TIME!! pic.twitter.com/8P9p6BPMuV

"EXCUSE ME!" Twitter user @SavvyStardust wrote. "I've had this shirt for nearly a month and you're telling me it's had a typo THIS WHOLE TIME!!"
Of course, this sent other fans into a tailspin, checking to see if their merch also contained the mistake. The weird thing is, not all of the shirts have the typo, some have the apostrophe in the correct position.

Obviously, Taylor's sleuthing fans know that nothing the singer does is without meaning, and many assumed that the typo was on purpose.
Hot take: the typos in the @taylorswift13 merchandise are on purpose and actually mean something. @taylornation13

But what if the merch typo was intentional 😳 #TaylorSwift @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 pic.twitter.com/7jW1FmTmXA

While one fan guessed the your'e references Brendon Urie (they sound the same, I guess?), another thought that since only some tees have the typo, those who received the botched shirts would get some sort of special treatment.
"OMFG. Everyone with a typo on their pink ME! shirt is going to a secret session," one fan guessed, referring to the secret listening sessions Taylor often has with her biggest fans before albums are released publicly.
Most likely though, the typo was simply...a typo, because while Taylor may be the queen of easter eggs, as one fan pointed out, "a typo isn't a cute easter egg."
