As every entertainment, movie, and Marvel comic fan must certainly know by now, April 26, 2019 — the day the highly-anticipated film, Avengers: Endgame, hits theaters — is sacred.
It’s the day many people will hold their pee to sit in a movie theater for more then three hours so they can probably (almost definitely) watch Captain America die, learn if Thanos will finally be defeated, and see if our beloved fallen heroes will be brought back to life. But Taylor Swift doesn’t seem to care.
On Thursday night the singer launched a mysterious countdown clock on her website and social media accounts that sent fans spiraling. It’s unlabeled, so it could signal a new project, an announcement, or new music for all we know, but the countdown has the nerve to end on the already hyped Avengers: Endgame day.
How much can we be expected to handle, Taylor?! We’re only human.

While it would be fun if Taylor was so excited about seeing Avengers: Endgame that she made a countdown clock, as I’m sure others have done, all signs point to her dropping new music that day.
She’s changed her social media profile pictures to a soothing pastel, watercolor paint-esque picture, and also tweeted the following photograph alongside the date.

The color pink, along with rainbows, butterflies, and sparkles are definitely a change from Swift’s badass Reputation build-up, but it seems she’s been creating a running theme on her Instagram account leading up to whatever the drop will be.

Since she and the Marvel Universe do share quite the overlapping fanbase, though, a bunch of people are now overwhelmed with all this stacked April 26 news.
I can’t believe I’m going to have to spend 3 hours of New Taylor Swift Music Day stuck in a movie theater watching Avengers instead of listening to new Taylor Swift music on repeat

While people are trying to be logical here, the fact that Taylor Swift has a song titled “Endgame” and the Avengers movie is literally called “Endgame” is really too perfect to ignore.
Does Taylor make an appearance in the movie? Does the song? Is she the one who defeats Thanos? Gah, so much to consider.

Taylor Swift released the bop End Game, accurately predicting the title of the new Avengers movie two years ago and is now releasing music ON THE OPENING NIGHT OF END GAME?! In this essay I will… pic.twitter.com/hcFw2Lywpw

They say April 25 is the perfect date, but this year? We might have to make an exception.
