Well, Friday plans just got complicated. But I have a solution. We have a very special date today. How about we go see Avengers: Endgame Encore, with Taylor Swift's new songs playing on the drive over?

Today, Taylor Swift releases The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, an expanded edition of her album that includes 4 more songs. At the same time, Avengers: Endgame Encore returns to theaters. Is this on purpose? Are we back in 2019? Swifties know what happened back then in the Lover era. 

The matching titles have people joking on Twitter that this feels like 2026's Barbenheimer. The comparison is still funny even though this time the pairing is an album and a movie. So, in fact, this adds more possibilities for the coexistence of both pieces of art, don't you think? You can listen to Taylor on the way to the theater, watch the Avengers, and listen again on the way home. (Listening to Taylor's songs just once is never an option.) Just please pause the music during the film. Thanos has enough going on to be competing with your phone speaker too. 

I don't think these are two completely separate audiences. I have friends who buy Marvel shirts and listen to Taylor. There is room for both fandoms. There is always room for more fandoms! Your bank account would appreciate being consulted before any further announcements.

Swifties and Marvel fans could probably understand each other, anyway. They both know what it's like to explain why a tiny detail matters to someone who deeply regrets having asked in the first place. They can keep track of years of lore, remember the stories of every character and also stay on top of all the gossip about the actors' personal lives. You see? Swifties and Marvel fans are not so different after all.

So, if you don't have any plans for today, now you don't have one, but TWO. In the meantime, scroll through these funny tweets. It's always fun to read people reacting to these events. By the time you get home after the movie, your group chat will be on fire. Today is going to require your full attention to both fandoms.

    MaxB @MegaMaxing ⚫ 23h September 25 is apparently for people who refuse to let the credits roll. Marvel is bringing Endgame back SEVEN years later with new Doomsday material, while Taylor Swift is extending The Life of a Showgirl with FOUR new songs. Both are literally called "The Encore." Both arrive on the same Friday. Hollywood and Taylor somehow reached the same conclusion: if people loved the ending, sell them another ending.
