A supposed new album from Taylor Swift, titled Silent Algorithms, has seemingly shown up on music streaming apps like TIDAL and Spotify, catching many fans off guard. As such, they are now wondering if this album is real or fake. It has been over a year since the release of Swift’s last album, The Tortured Poets Department, and fans have since been on the lookout for news concerning a new album.
So, what’s up with Silent Algorithm, and why has it sparked many discussions online? Here’s what we know.
Silent Algorithm is not Taylor Swift’s new album
The Silent Algorithm album, which seems to have shown up on music streaming sites like Spotify and TIDAL, isn’t real. It includes tracks like “Amber Ashes Rhapsody,” “Bougie Anxiety,” “Chromatic Mirage,” and “Clockwork Fireflies.”
There seems to be one major evidence pointing to the album being fake: the Spotify account that shared this purported new album doesn’t seem to have a digital profile picture and doesn’t feature the singer’s other albums either. As many users know, Swift’s official Spotify account has both, a profile picture and all her official albums.
Taylor Swift herself has not yet responded to this fake album making its way across music streaming apps.
While this album is most likely an AI creation, it’s hard to discern for many if the audio heard in the album’s tracks is Swift’s actual voice or an AI-generated version of it. Since widespread usage of AI began, there have been improvements in editing and developing techniques that have allowed people to ensure terrifyingly accurate or approximate imitations of official material.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has been making headlines for several other reasons. Her popular Pop-Tart recipe recently created buzz online when she sent the sweets to Travis Kelce and the crew working on his American Eagle photoshoot.
Additionally, a new report has emerged online, suggesting that Swift’s friendship with Blake Lively was strained, as the latter’s legal battle against Justin Baldoni progresses. Moreover, in a statement to E! News, Lively’s representative slammed Baldoni for subpoenaing Swift and dragging the pop star into the legal battle.
