A resurfaced video of Taylor Swift has fans convinced that she's always been a mastermind.

Swift is preparing to release her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl on Friday (October 3), sharing stunning visuals of herself in over-the-top bedazzled ensembles, feathered headdresses and strings of jewels that wouldn't look out of place on a Las Vegas stage. However, a decade-old video of the "Fortnight" singer making the rounds has proved that she has always been the ultimate showgirl.

Instagram account KelceBrothers recently shared a video of Swift making a cameo during the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival where she worked her way through a casino carrying a briefcase containing top secret information, even passing by a couple of Vegas showgirls at a roulette table.

Swifities were blown away by the resurfaced connection, flooding the comments to point out all the easter eggs and even speculating that she might pair her new era with a Las Vegas residency.

"What if I told you I could hint at things 11 years in advance? 🔥" one user wrote, while another said, "okay WAIT this is crazy. truly a mastermind."

"Every move intentional, her brain is a masterpiece," a commenter wrote, which was echoed by another, "How? How does she plan all these things, years ahead and sticks to plans made!? She has to have a room full of red wires linking everything together 😂 and notebooks upon notebooks full of every easter egg ever set in motion... MASTERMIND ❤️"

While many were praising "our mastermind queen," some commenters noted that, while seemingly sharing a connection to her upcoming album, it is most likely a coincidence.

"I do think sometimes things are a coincidence," one user said. "I doubt she had this title for an album that long ago even though she is a mastermind."
