The Year of the Snake

I've been thinking about this lately, and wanted opinions. Does anyone else think it's weird that despite having no connection to Chinese culture (not even respectful admiration, as far as I can tell), every single Swiftie seems to think Rep TV is going to drop or get announced on Lunar New Year "bEcAuSe It'S tHe YeAr Of ThE sNaKe"? Like...what does that have to do with her music? And if she did do that, how do Swifties think she isn't going to get nailed for cultural appropriation? Idk, maybe it's a deeper problem with the Swifties, but it doesn't make sense to me.

Edit - corrected to Lunar New Year
