Hidden in her I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life playlist, some lyrics from Swift’s song Glitch were (apparently) in random capital letters: H, E, Y, B, E, and R. Unencrypted, the letters provided the word “Hereby”.
Confirmed by the As confirmation account the next day (April 14), fans were excited to have unlocked the first part of the puzzle.
