Fans Think Taylor Swift Just Revealed Gigi Hadid's Daughter's Name on 'evermore'
On Friday, Taylor Swift dropped her latest album, Folkore's sister, evermore. The standard edition of the new project features 15 tracks, and the deluxe edition has 17. There are lots of
songs to focus on, but fans seemed to have zeroed in on one in particular: "dorothea." Swifties are always on the lookout for clues in her work, and they think this song reveals Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik's daughter's name.
This move from Swift would not be out of character; she revealed the name of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold's third daughter, Betty, on Folklore. One fan broke down the theory:
"Y'all hear me out. My bestfriend [sic] just cracked something i guess. 'August' is track 8 on folkore and gigi has posted a picture on Instagram captioning 'August, waiting for our girl' and the track 8 of evermore is dorothea. SO WHAT IF GIGI'S BABY'S NAME IS DOROTHEA?"

Another fan added: "I swear if the conspiracies about gigi and zayn's daughter's name being 'dorothea' are true and they announce it while I'm sleeping; I will literally cry a freaking river."

How long until Gigi Hadid announces that her daughter is named Dorothea and @taylorswift13 outed her on #evermorealbum like she outed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds daughter Betty on #Folklore. Just wondering.

Someone else pointed out that there are two other songs on this album named after women: "i also wonder if @GiGiHadid baby girl's name is in #evermoreAlbum? ivy? dorothea? marjorie? so many questions @taylorswift13."
4. “A tiny screen’s the only place i see you now” Due to the pandemic and busy schedules, the pair hasn’t been seen together in the same place since 2018. They recently reunited on Facetime on Selena’s cooking show. (- @selankagomez pointed this one) pic.twitter.com/8G3kB0A5O6

But let's not forget the theory that "dorothea" is about Selena Gomez. But, as Swift made clear in an Instagram post following the release of the album, Dorothea is a fictional character. She does, however, have several similarities to Gomez.
I have no idea what will come next. I have no idea about a lot of things these days and so I’ve clung to the one thing that keeps me connected to you all. That thing always has and always will be music. And may it continue, evermore. evermore is out now: https://t.co/QYMUTL0IAjpic.twitter.com/tlSmahDkBi

"Dorothea, the girl who left her small town to chase down Hollywood dreams—and what happens when she comes back or the holidays and rediscovers an old flame," she wrote. ELLE's Alyssa Bailey pointed out that Dorothea is supposed to be from Tupelo, Mississippi, and Gomez is from Grand Prairie, Texas.
