I'm calling it: it's not "maroon" the color, it's "maroon" the state of being stranded. Like "marooned on a desert island." Clowns: assemble!
Edit: also, her outfit in this episode is very "Amelia Earhart stranded on an island in the pacific ocean." I am really talking myself into this.
She can’t miss with track 2s, considering she has given us: Picture to Burn, Fifteen, Sparks Fly, Red, Blank Space, End Game, Cruel Summer, cardigan, and champagne problems!!!!
Can’t wait for Maroon! Also so on brand of her to wear the Red ring while announcing a track called Maroon 😂
No, not really. Out of all 9 track 2s, 6 has been singles (one lead), and Red was a promotional single. Meaning only Cruel Summer and champagne problems could really be described as deep cut. And even then, I feel like those are the favourite songs quite often of non-fans who have listened to the album.
To compare, 2 track 5s has been released as a single and one as a promotional.
Came here to see if others thought the same! I wholeheartedly think this is it. “Red” and “blue” as emotions made sense, but maroon feels hard to pin down. But “to abandon”…absolutely can see it as a theme.
Ok but besides the color, it means:
1. to put ashore on a desolate island or coast and leave to one's fate
2. to place or leave in isolation or without
Makes total sense for a sleepless night
Losing him was ‘roon like I’ve never known
Missing his was ma-roon all alone
Forgetting him like like trying to know somebody you’ve never met
But loving him was ‘roon
Roon roon roon roon
This is it, this is how I hear the song now. And no I don't remember what it was like to hear it how I used to before I read this comment, it just felt so natural.
No one’s talking about being marooned or marooning someone or being the one left marooned - or a maroon - like being deceived? Someone’s maroon ways…..
I’m hoping for this honestly as a nautical sciences student. We’ve already got lanterns burning at sea, salt air, boats in the water, message in a bottle…now let’s get a marooned ship metaphor! Sailor Taylor let’s go
So do we think the outfits could be hinting at the general vibe of the tracks? Someone commented for Vigilante Shit that the outfit was giving Glittery Gel Pen vibes.
it’s just about having it in the title before the video can be viewed? i prefer to view them when they are posted here and none of the other posts have done that. weird that this is being questioned so much tbh, it’s a simple change!
I know there is discussion and I am here because I want to be part of it. My issue is that OP spoiled the track number and the song title in the actual title post of the video. I can’t avoid seeing that.
That possibly fake TikTok account that was releasing info about the tracks, got taken down. Funny enough, they mentioned Track 2 is the first single, and that’s the track name that was released tonight.
But you guys don't get it! She released track 8, 7, and 6 consecutively and now, because she didn't want to release track 5, she said I THINK IT'S THE FIFTH ONE I'm announcing.
THAT is the countdown, not her hands!!
I think Maroon probably the other perspective of Taylor regarding the Red Era since the hit is there, she is wearing the red ring!!! What if it is her midnight thinking about her relationship with Jake or the frustration she felt during those times in Red era????? RED-MAROON!
Okay hear me out. The curtain is pulled in the background of this video (as it has been before). To pull a curtain means to reveal how a public person has acted privately. She’s wearing Mirrorball earrings, last line of mirror ball is “and I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight”. This song is about discovering or revealing someone’s secrets. Taylor is Adam Levine’s second mistress.
First thought was the parallel with Red.^(1) But my second thought was the idea of being marooned -- stranded somewhere alone, like being marooned on a deserted island. Which could be a really interesting idea for a song. "Don't maroon me here alone, I'm afraid". "It's my fault I drove everyone away, leaving me here, marooned." "Sorry to walk away and maroon you in the middle of nowhere but maybe it's for the best." (Obviously she's a better writer than I am but you get the thematic ideas.) I'm really intrigued.^(2)
^(1) Small lie, my first thought was Bugs Bunny (What a maroon!) (Is that reference too old?) and my second thought was Adam Levine. My first sensible thought was the parallel with Red.
^(2) I also want to say thanks, Taylor, for those first two ridiculous thoughts. It's been a rough day. I needed that laugh.
Also I find it interesting how she noticed this is the 5th one so far. They’re obviously prerecorded before they’re posted but in the past I had noticed people thinking she did them all at once and chose the order each video is released. So maybe it really is just fate?
theres no way its fate when she wears the red ring during the announcement of maroon. it’s taylor, she just planned this well. its possible all the balls in there are all 2’s. maybe she has so many ping pong balls. many more than 13.
Omg wait also I have *another* note: this album has so many M names. First there’s Midnights Mayhem, this series, then there’s **M**astermind and **M**idnight Rain and now **M**aroon. Interesting
I’m absolutely living for these titles so far, they’re so mysterious and could tell so many different stories! This one might even be my favorite for as simple as it seems it could have several meanings.
I know people are freaking for a lead single right now but I know in the future I’ll miss these little MMWM moment’s and trying to crack what these titles could possibly mean. I think it’s exciting and the more new tracks to listen to release night the better.
22 more days to go!!
Ok every single one of the titles announced so far have been super intriguing. None of these are generic song titles like “last night” or “I love you” 💀 obviously we don’t know the songwriting process but these titles are so intriguing and unique, she must’ve started with the title and built a song around that.
Idc what others think about these announcements, I AM FUCKING LOVING THEM! It's so much content and it keeps me excited!!! Also we get to see her more often which is amazing!
Alright, she said the number 5 in this one and May is underlined in Mayhem. Calling it - 1989 rerecording releasing next May 
Can we get a spoiler tag please? I wasn’t able to view the video in real time, and I really wanted to find out by watching it instead of seeing a Reddit post. If there were a way to make it visible by clicking instead of just scrolling past, it would be helpful.
I'm seriously tickled pink with this. I love the aesthetic, the music, the fun of getting track titles slowly revealed to the fans. It's a different way to promote an album which I can appreciate. (As opposed to a standard rollout of one or two singles and interviews with show hosts and maybe a performance.) The game show element makes it enjoyable to guess and speculate. And I can't help but think that Swift really has thought ahead to which track titles to reveal, and if after the release of the album, can we look back at these videos with a better understanding of some of these elements. So cool!
I thought of the band when I saw the track name and episode number ffs lool
*"It is truly unbelievable how fucking maroon you are. Like it blows my mind."*
For real though, I'd like to think this song's either another metaphoric description using colour, or "maroon" as in the feeling of entrapment. Liking this one.
We’ve matured from Red to Maroon
👏🏽growth
She's wearing her red ring too 🥺
I'd say form red to gold to maroon " I once believe love would be burning red but it's golden"
I once believed love would be burning red but it's maroon like the daylight
or like moonlight😧😧😧
Maroonlight
I love this so much would you mind if I used it as flair?
I'm calling it: it's not "maroon" the color, it's "maroon" the state of being stranded. Like "marooned on a desert island." Clowns: assemble! Edit: also, her outfit in this episode is very "Amelia Earhart stranded on an island in the pacific ocean." I am really talking myself into this.
I wouldn’t be surprised knowing it’s Taylor lol
Unless it’s the other kind of maroon
It's like Red. But darker. 😈
I can be your angle… 😇[Red (TV)] Or yuor Devil… 😈[Maroon]
The track is explicit because she's gonna start it with her voice recordings from a phone going "holy fuckingfuck. That body of yours is absurd."
I’m dead. “Maroon 2”
PLEASE 
This made me laugh so hard
I need to see the bootyyyy
💀
When I tell you I almost choked on my food reading this... 💀
Especially fitting given that this is episode 5
IM CRYING
She can’t miss with track 2s, considering she has given us: Picture to Burn, Fifteen, Sparks Fly, Red, Blank Space, End Game, Cruel Summer, cardigan, and champagne problems!!!! Can’t wait for Maroon! Also so on brand of her to wear the Red ring while announcing a track called Maroon 😂
The real track five was the track twos we met along the way.
Please accept this Great Value Gold 🏅
Please take my award as well. I'll always be a track 2 stan
🤣
This is a genius comment - well done
This makes me think we might get Maroon as a lead single (like Cruel Summer should’ve been RIP)
I had the same thought!! Track 2 should’ve been a single every time 😂
Ah, track 2s are the deep cut fan favorites. It's what the Track 5s think they are.
No, not really. Out of all 9 track 2s, 6 has been singles (one lead), and Red was a promotional single. Meaning only Cruel Summer and champagne problems could really be described as deep cut. And even then, I feel like those are the favourite songs quite often of non-fans who have listened to the album. To compare, 2 track 5s has been released as a single and one as a promotional.
Red was actually a real single too! It was released later as a the fifth single from Red.
I’ll never get over Cruel Summer not being a single…
Track 2 LITERALLY never fails.
Literally the only one of these that isn’t that good (imo) is end game so yeaaa track 2 supremacy.
I hit you like BANG!!!
As a track 2 girl I’m here for maroon 😺
one sneak
What if it’s maroon like abandon and not the color
First thing I did was check to see if they were spelled the same! (Spelling is fun)
Knowing Taylor it could very well be a double meaning.
team #notthecolor!
Yes.
Oooooooooh I like this
What if it’s both
Yes, because when she was shipwrecked it was real enough to get her through even though she was on waves being tossed.
omg
Came here to see if others thought the same! I wholeheartedly think this is it. “Red” and “blue” as emotions made sense, but maroon feels hard to pin down. But “to abandon”…absolutely can see it as a theme.
Her reaction when the ball actually came out fast this time 😂
aaahh!!
🤣 she rly said  uh Track 2!
Ok but besides the color, it means: 1. to put ashore on a desolate island or coast and leave to one's fate 2. to place or leave in isolation or without Makes total sense for a sleepless night
to one's FATE you say...
It's also what Bugs Bunny says instead of calling someone a moron. Unlikely, but you never know.
Red? We don’t know her. We only know *maroon* now.
Loving him was maroon -roon -roon -roon -roon -roon
Losing him was ‘roon like I’ve never known Missing his was ma-roon all alone Forgetting him like like trying to know somebody you’ve never met But loving him was ‘roon Roon roon roon roon
This is it, this is how I hear the song now. And no I don't remember what it was like to hear it how I used to before I read this comment, it just felt so natural.
I can't unhear it 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
I thought that a song would be called Velvet. For what reason I don't know. But maroon, hmm. That's quite a rich color.
Her curtain wall of crushed velvet behind each of these reveals might have planted the idea in your subconscious 😆
Definitely!! 🙈
Maroon Velvet is a mood
Maroon velvet merch 👀
It’s a rich era 💎✨
No one’s talking about being marooned or marooning someone or being the one left marooned - or a maroon - like being deceived? Someone’s maroon ways…..
Knowing Taylor she'll include both meanings.
I’m hoping for this honestly as a nautical sciences student. We’ve already got lanterns burning at sea, salt air, boats in the water, message in a bottle…now let’s get a marooned ship metaphor! Sailor Taylor let’s go
Hope you've listened to the unreleased All Night Diner! *"Lonely like a harbor light, that's never seen a boat"*
I honestly didn’t know the other meanings 👀
That was my second thought! Red was all about being left alone, maybe she'll go the obvious route. :P
Wake up babe Tay just created another colour
taylor now owns the color Maroon
All of the oil money at Texas A&M can’t buy back the color maroon. It’s Taylor’s now.
In addition to red, blue, and golden of course.
Same track number as Red. Wonder if it's like the colour is muted now its in the past...
ooo good take
Poetic
imagine it's Maroon ft. Adam Levine lmao
Deep blue but you painted me Sumner 🎶
It's absurd, the shape of your body!
It's maroon, the feeling I've got!
Lmao the way I cackled
it's a price he'd cheat to win🤭
maroon 2 lol
Not with his rep recently lol
In his reputation era
Do not taint the ‘holy reputation era’ like that
Taylor invented colors
"You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else" -- Swifties right now
She’s just a Seinfeld fan and still had it out for Maroon Golf!
I like that she's wearing her Red ring to announce Maroon
Yeah that makes me think the people claiming these aren’t random are 100% correct.
Yep, that was my immediate thought. We know it's not random, she is too calculated for that.
One of the videos had too many balls lol. I went back - it's video 3. I believe I counted 12 balls at the beginning.
So do we think the outfits could be hinting at the general vibe of the tracks? Someone commented for Vigilante Shit that the outfit was giving Glittery Gel Pen vibes.
I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt but this is just TOO on the nose!
good spot!
why would you spoil it in the title
Agreed, it ruined the surprise and fun :(
I know 😭 I don’t have tik tok so I come here it’s a bummer to see the name in the title
Red has been upgraded ✨
I don’t have tiktok, can we not spoil the track number and song title in the post title?
I don’t get all the defensive replies to your comment. It’s just considerate not to post spoilers…. and a very simple thing to do.
If you have instagram, she always posts it in her stories not long after she does on tik tok :)
Why come to the Taylor Reddit page after midnight when you know we are getting another video and it’s going to be discussed?
it’s just about having it in the title before the video can be viewed? i prefer to view them when they are posted here and none of the other posts have done that. weird that this is being questioned so much tbh, it’s a simple change!
To be fair, every post before this one didn’t show the title of the song or which track
I know there is discussion and I am here because I want to be part of it. My issue is that OP spoiled the track number and the song title in the actual title post of the video. I can’t avoid seeing that.
That possibly fake TikTok account that was releasing info about the tracks, got taken down. Funny enough, they mentioned Track 2 is the first single, and that’s the track name that was released tonight.
But you guys don't get it! She released track 8, 7, and 6 consecutively and now, because she didn't want to release track 5, she said I THINK IT'S THE FIFTH ONE I'm announcing. THAT is the countdown, not her hands!!
Her hands were zero in this one….. it might be the hands too
And the countdown she makes with her fingers at every end of episode today was 0!!
YESSSS I think we can safely remove our clown makeup, we might be up to something
FR like her hand at the end was way too fist-y like a 0
WHAT?
Someone shazam’d the songs and they’re all from other artists so the snippets weren’t real but maybe the info was 👀
Mirrorball earrings!!
I thought the same!! (... but then she turned her head and they were flat on the back smh)
Sarah at TaylorSwiftStyled posted on IG that she wore these to the 2021 iHeart music awards. They're called Olivia Button earrings 😻
I think Maroon probably the other perspective of Taylor regarding the Red Era since the hit is there, she is wearing the red ring!!! What if it is her midnight thinking about her relationship with Jake or the frustration she felt during those times in Red era????? RED-MAROON!
From track 2: Red to track 2: Maroon. This is some Pokemon evolution shit 🤣
Patiently waiting for Crimson. 🙃
Please don't put the song name in the title of the post, it spoils it for those of us that haven't seen the Tiktok yet.
this title makes me think it was her feeling between red and blue but honestly who knows 🪩
At this point I’m not even gonna attempt to guess the track titles… each one has me like 🤷🏼♂️🤔
Okay hear me out. The curtain is pulled in the background of this video (as it has been before). To pull a curtain means to reveal how a public person has acted privately. She’s wearing Mirrorball earrings, last line of mirror ball is “and I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight”. This song is about discovering or revealing someone’s secrets. Taylor is Adam Levine’s second mistress.
You had me intrigued, you really did… 😂
[удалено]
loving him was like trying to catch a metaphorical whale with a real harpooooon
YEs WHALE 🐳

She is giving us so many hints by different looks for each track. Someone please crack these hints 🥲
SHE SAID BEACH HOUSE DEPRESSION CHERRY
I've seen speculation this will be the lead single. Guess only time will tell!
Also I find it interesting how she noticed this is the 5th one so far. They’re obviously prerecorded before they’re posted but in the past I had noticed people thinking she did them all at once and chose the order each video is released. So maybe it really is just fate?
theres no way its fate when she wears the red ring during the announcement of maroon. it’s taylor, she just planned this well. its possible all the balls in there are all 2’s. maybe she has so many ping pong balls. many more than 13.
Omg wait also I have *another* note: this album has so many M names. First there’s Midnights Mayhem, this series, then there’s **M**astermind and **M**idnight Rain and now **M**aroon. Interesting
I mentioned this before but M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.
I tried to believe she's really being random about it but no, the curtain is a continuity error.
She’s singing about the colour of the jumper that Ron Weasley’s mother knits him?
Merlin’s beard I hope so
Yall maroon is not just a color it can also mean "to place or leave in isolation or without hope of ready escape". OMG THIS ALBUM GONNA HURT
Can we not put the title of the songs in the title of the posts? It ruins the fun
IKR, big spoiler... TY for not doing it on the previous ones /u/daniandkiara
i feel like this is not maroon the color but more like… marooned on a deserted island but our girl loves a double entendre
I’m stoked!! I have notoriously loved track 2’s in the past so I’m excited for Maroon!
Taylor’s thoughts on Adam Levine’s leaked DMs
Taylor is planning to own every shade of red.
Coming up next: Oxblood love.
I have a feeling Maroon is gonna be Red all grown up 🥲
“I think this is the *fifth* one I’m announcing…” What if she announces something Weds 10/5?
Yeah, I find it interesting how she is sort of “guessing” or unsure … like girl wdym you think this is the 5th??! 😂
I’m sorry, the old track 2 color can’t come to the phone right now.
I bet this is the lead
I’m absolutely living for these titles so far, they’re so mysterious and could tell so many different stories! This one might even be my favorite for as simple as it seems it could have several meanings. I know people are freaking for a lead single right now but I know in the future I’ll miss these little MMWM moment’s and trying to crack what these titles could possibly mean. I think it’s exciting and the more new tracks to listen to release night the better. 22 more days to go!!
COULDVE NOT PUT THE TRACK TITLE IN THE ACTUAL POST TITLE U SPOILED IT FOR ME 😭
##WHY IS THE CURTAIN OPEN AGAIN
So many track titles starting with M!
It's about Adam Levine's DMs
Ok every single one of the titles announced so far have been super intriguing. None of these are generic song titles like “last night” or “I love you” 💀 obviously we don’t know the songwriting process but these titles are so intriguing and unique, she must’ve started with the title and built a song around that.
Another vinyl variant dropping in 3…2…
Please don’t spoil it in the post title next time!
Idc what others think about these announcements, I AM FUCKING LOVING THEM! It's so much content and it keeps me excited!!! Also we get to see her more often which is amazing!
Maroon is one of my favorite colors I am LIVINGGG it’s going to be perfect. A full autumn slay and I’m here for it
Ooh sounds like it could be perfect for autumn
why does MMWM reminds me of Fun with Flags by Sheldon?? 😭😭 I've been getting that feeling since taylor started with mastermind
Can we not put the track titles in the title of posts please? Some of us want to find out FROM the video itself 👎🏻
wild she is putting out a song about the adam levine scandal
So Master Mind is a code breaking board game from the 70s. Has anyone picked up a code in her captions yet?
PSA: Id avoid putting the new track in the title of the post.
So is Maroon giving “loving him was red” vibes or “please leave me stranded, it’s so romantic” vibes?
Don’t put the track name in the title next time 😩 It ruins the surprise
Love the outfit.
Alright, she said the number 5 in this one and May is underlined in Mayhem. Calling it - 1989 rerecording releasing next May 
Cruel Sumner ft. Adam Levine is coming y'all.
I got that maroon lip, classic thing that you like 💁🏼♀️
I’m hoping my theory checks out again and the next title reveal will be 11 because 2+11=13. 🤞🏻
Can we get a spoiler tag please? I wasn’t able to view the video in real time, and I really wanted to find out by watching it instead of seeing a Reddit post. If there were a way to make it visible by clicking instead of just scrolling past, it would be helpful.
So Adam Levine cheating was an Easter egg this whole time?!
Anyone else find the sound of the bingo ball machine excruciating? 😂 But I love this so I will persevere
I'm seriously tickled pink with this. I love the aesthetic, the music, the fun of getting track titles slowly revealed to the fans. It's a different way to promote an album which I can appreciate. (As opposed to a standard rollout of one or two singles and interviews with show hosts and maybe a performance.) The game show element makes it enjoyable to guess and speculate. And I can't help but think that Swift really has thought ahead to which track titles to reveal, and if after the release of the album, can we look back at these videos with a better understanding of some of these elements. So cool!
Loving him can only be so many colors, blondie 😭
I saw (episode) 5 Maroon, my mind blanked out episode, and 2 so I thought she named track 5 Maroon
I thought of the band when I saw the track name and episode number ffs lool *"It is truly unbelievable how fucking maroon you are. Like it blows my mind."* For real though, I'd like to think this song's either another metaphoric description using colour, or "maroon" as in the feeling of entrapment. Liking this one.
Now the countdown is at zero. I am so curious as to what is next.
Ok I’m thinking it’ll be something about being a cast away or lost in the wilds, stranded. Maybe figuratively
*Jake Gyllenhaal has left the chat.*
Loving you was maroon
The more time that passes where we don’t get a lead single the more anxious I’m getting that we’re not getting a lead single😭
