“It’s not a Taylor Swift album release if you don’t have fake ass ‘Swifties’ spreading leaks because they can’t wait one day to listen to the project … pathetic,” added another.
“Please do not spread the leak of Taylor Swift’s new album. Remember, this is Taylor’s work, respect it, just like you would your favorite artist. Don’t punish the artist for how their fans behave,” wrote a third user.
Page Six reached out to Swift’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

The pop star’s fans believe the lyrics, “Even statues crumble / If they’re made to wait,” are about the “Conversations with Friends” actor, 33, whom she dated for more than six years.
