Taylor Swift shares the truth about ‘Woodvale’ and if a third album is coming

Taylor Swift has finally explained why her recent album Evermore has the mysterious name ‘Woodvale’ hidden in the album cover.

The 31-year-old music maker threw fans into a frenzy of excitement when she unleashed Evermore earlier this month – just five months after the shock release of her previous album, Folklore.

Fans are aware that Taylor sometimes hides messages and clues about her life and work through her releases – and many became convinced that she was hinting of a third shock-release album when they spotted ‘Woodvale’ mysteriously written in the album cover of Evermore.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday, the star finally cleared up the meaning of ‘Woodvale’ – and fans might be devastated to learn it has nothing to do with a new album.

Taylor said: “Sometimes I take it too far, and I made a mistake.

“When I was making Folklore, I was too afraid to even reveal the title of my album to my closest teammates and management.

“I didn’t tell anyone the album title until it came out.

“And so I came up with a fake codename that had the same amount of letters as Folklore and chose a random name, chose Woodvale.”

She went on to reveal she made fake album covers featuring the name Woodvale which she then blanked out – and forgot to remove while reusing the images for the Evermore record.

She said: “[I] wanted to see how it would look on the album covers.

“I mocked them up, then decided I don’t actually want to have a title on the album covers and forgot to take the fake code name off.”

Despite insisting her story was 100 percent true, fans of the singer appear unconvinced so far.
