The first Swiftie-approved emoji is the two hands forming a heart, aka heart hands!

Earlier in her career, Taylor was known to gesture with heart hands during lives performances, as she did here at the CMT Music Awards in 2009.

As with anything Taylor-related, there’s always a possibility (though it’s highly unlikely) the new heart hands emoji is secretly an easter egg.

With Swift re-recording many of her albums, could the heart hands be a reference for her 2010 Speak Now era? Maybe!

If you’ve discovered Taylor in here indie-pop era, then you’ll certainly recognize the next Swiftian emoji: the disco ball.

Her 2010 album Folklore includes the standout track, “Mirrorball.” In the song, Taylor sings about feeling like a mirrorball. So, naturally, Swifties noticed a disco ball is now iOS-approved.

Taylor even wore a mirror ball-esque Balmain dress and matching thigh-high boots to the 2018 American Music Awards, which predates the 2020 release of Foklore.
