Red (Taylor's Version) was originally due to arrive on 19 November, but Swift moved the release date forward by one week to 12 November yesterday (30 September), leading fans to think Adele might be releasing her follow-up to 2015's 25 album on 19 November.
The newly-ignited Adele album rumours caused the artist to trend on Twitter following Swift's release date change.
