Forget about 1989, how about 2017? Incase you didn’t get the hint, Taylor Swift could release a new album within the year.

Ed Sheeran, who happens to be her good buddy, let out a little hint during an interview with BBC News. The guy plans to release his album on Mar. 3, and says he feels confident about the idea that other intimidating artists like Beyonce, Bruno Mars and The Weeknd already released their most recent music in 2016.

So he feels lucky that his fans will get to listen to a lot of Ed without any competition… But then Ed said something interesting, he told the BBC, “Taylor isn’t going to be releasing until probably the end of this year – Christmas is the smartest time to release because that’s when everyone buys records.”

But if you haven’t noticed, Taylor Swift hasn’t released any new singles or news about a fresh album… At least to the public. Her friends probably have more of an inside scoop.

Thanks for the heads up, Ed.
