headline-making Eras Tour, the 33-year-old pop superstar is also getting her overeager fans riled up offstage — even when she’s just minding her own damn business.

Hyped-up Swifties thought they had discovered that she was secretly releasing a memoir in July — which she is, in fact, not.

It all started with a TikTok from the pop culture podcast “what i will say” that claimed to have insider info about a publisher’s press release teasing a book that “will have massive publicity” with “global appeal” — something on the level of recent memoirs by Prince Harry or Matthew Perry.The perceived Easter eggs were enough to convince Swifties to pre-order the untitled book by an unknown author, sending it to No.

2 on the Amazon book sales chart and No. 1 on Barnes & Nobles’ pre-orders chart.Yup, it was already a best seller.So what were the clues that Swifties got wrong?In “All Too Well: The Short Film,” the lead character — played in her older incarnation by Swift — is an author.
