Fans of the famed UK singer Adele have been clamoring for a new album for several years now.
They may be getting their wish.
Mysterious projections of the number "30" have been popping up around the world, with people speculating it's related to her next creative project.
The projections cropped up in major cities across the globe, including in Dubai, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, France, Italy, the USA and the UK. Some famous landmarks included the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Colosseum and the Empire State Building.
The 33-year-old Grammy Award winner also recently changed all of her social media pages to reflect a new look.
Adele's previous albums have been named after the age she began working on them. Her album 19 came out in 2008, 21 in 2011, and finally 25 in 2015.
She joked a few years back on Instagram she would title her next album "30" out of spite.
"30 tried me so hard but I'm owning it and trying my hardest to lean in to it all."
"No matter how long we're here for life is constant and complicated at times. I've changed drastically in the last couple years and I'm still changing and that's okay."
She continued:
"31 is going to be a big ol' year and I'm going to spend it all on myself."
"For the first time in a decade I'm ready to feel the world around me and look up for once."
"Be kind to yourself people we're only human, go slow, put your phone down and laugh out loud at every opportunity."
"Learning to REALLY truly love yourself is it, and I've only just realized that that is more than enough."
"I'll learn to love you lot eventually. Bunch of f*cking savages, 30 will be a drum n bass record to spite you."
To add fuel to the fire, Taylor Swift recently changed her release date for her next album.
Red will be out a week earlier.
Fans believe it's a strategic move to avoid competition.
It's no wonder hardcore fans are speculating the release will be coming soon.
Some of the responses were actually hilarious.
Adele had a chance to host Saturday Night Live last year where she addressed rumors about her next album.
She said:
"I know there's been a lot of chatter about me just being the host. Like 'Why isn't she the musical guest?' and stuff like that."
"And there's a couple of reasons."
"My album's not finished, and I'm also too scared to do both…"
"I'd rather just put on some wigs… have a glass of wine or six and just see what happens."
A year later, we might finally get our answer.
