Update Your Calendars: Taylor Swift Fans Have Declared April 29 High Infidelity Day

• Dedicated Taylor Swift fans have officially declared April 29 High Infidelity Day.

• Hours after she released Midnights, the 12-time Grammy winner dropped an extended edition of the album with seven extra songs, including "High Infidelity," which includes the lyrics: ""Do you really want to know where I was April 29th? / Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?"

• It seems to be shading Calvin Harris, who Taylor was still dating when she first met Joe Alwyn—on April 29, 2016.

JSYK, April 29 is officially a holiday now, so add that to Taylor Swift's list of accomplishments. Not like banks-and-post-offices-are-closed holiday or a mandatory-time-with-close-relatives holiday. No, April 29th is joining the ranks of Star Wars Day (May 4—"May the Fourth Be With You"), Mean Girls Day (October 3—"On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was"), and It's Gonna Be May Day (April 30—in honor of Justin Timberlake's iconically weird pronunciation of "me" in "It's Gonna Be Me").

Thanks to Taylor's songwriting shade skills and her fanbase's collective force of will, April 29th will hence forth be known as High Infidelity Day (but, let's be real, April 29th has been High Infidelity Day since last October, and Swifities have just been stockpiling GIFs, making memes, and drafting tweets for the last six months while they waited to finally celebrate it).

If you're like, "Um, wut?" rn, here's a little context to get you up to speed: Hours after she released Midnights, Taylor dropped a "chaotic surprise" in the form of an extended edition of the album with seven extra songs, including "High Infidelity," which includes the following lyrics:

and

Feeling a sharp pain in your stomach? That's because the lyrics are sharp as a knife and designed to gut someone. That "someone" is most likely Calvin Harris, who Taylor was still dating when she first met/felt sparks with her next serious boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, on—WAIT FOR IT—April 29, 2016, when they were both guests at Gigi Hadid's 21st birthday party in Los Angeles (a few days before that year's Met Gala, which is where many people long-assumed they met for the first time).

Things between Taylor and Calvin were already strained at this point and, based on this actual (although sadly from the worst angle) photo of her taken that night, wearing a dress that can only be described as "bejeweled AF," her last text to Calvin before the party was presumably, "btw I'm going out tonight."

After her brief/infamous fling with Tom "Custom Tank Top" Hiddleston, Taylor went on to date Joe for six years, so whatever emotional infidelity went down that night was clearly written in the stars, and now Swifties will be celebrating that fated day for the foreseeable future.

For posterity, here are some highlights from the online celebration of High Infidelity Day 1.0:

And, of course, TikTok lip-syncs abounded:

And, before we go, a special shoutout to this Swiftie, who was so excited for High Infidelity Day, she accidentally celebrated a day early (and then re-celebrated with a self-callout the next day). Bless.
