Louis Tomlinson's new album, "How Did I Get Here?", was met with a mix of excitement and confusion from fans - courtesy of the singer's own Easter eggs. While promoting his third solo project on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", Tomlinson inadvertently collected more attention than he bargained for.
During his appearance, Tomlinson dropped subtle hints about the new album, with some of its promotional materials containing cryptic clues that were swiftly picked up by Swifties. It seemed that fans thought the Easter eggs were related to Taylor Swift's album, which Tomlinson playfully acknowledged as "good luck" - essentially free promotion.
The singer also opened up about his past with One Direction, recalling the incredible experiences and memories he made during those supercharged moments. Leaving a band like 1D was undoubtedly intimidating, but it left him feeling more confident than ever.
When asked about the inspiration behind his new album, Tomlinson credited his extensive touring experience for leaving "no room for self-doubt". He emphasized the importance of connecting with fans on stage, stating that sharing their success together would be a highlight of his upcoming solo tour. The title of the album itself seemed to echo this sentiment, as he reflected on how it felt to finally release the music: "a real sense of relief".
In a late-night performance, Tomlinson showcased a new wave-inspired song from the album, complete with bass, synth, and strobe effects that had fans both surprised and enthralled. As his global arena tour kicks off in Hamburg on March 23rd, it's clear that "How Did I Get Here?" is set to delight audiences worldwide - and leave no room for disappointment.

. He's got some serious Easter egg game going on, and those Swifties totally fell for it 
! Meanwhile, I think it's awesome that he opened up about his One Direction days – we all know how crazy that was for him. Touring experience really seems to have helped him find his confidence as a solo artist 
. The new wave-inspired song sounds like an absolute blast 
. Can't wait to see what the rest of his album has in store!
! The Easter eggs were def a clever move by him, but some fans totally fell for it 
. The way he talks about his touring experience and connecting with fans on stage just gives me chills 
. And that new wave-inspired song? Mind. Blown 
he was so open about his 1D days and i'm living for it 
i mean who hasn't wondered what life would've been like if they never left their boy band 
anyway back to the new album... i think its so cool how he wove in these Easter eggs for Taylor Swift's album lol good luck indeed 
but seriously his music is so grown up and mature it feels like a whole new side of him is out 
i'm also loving the new wave vibes in that one song i listened to tonight 
can't wait for his tour to start!!
the way he pokes fun at Taylor Swift fans is SO cute, but tbh it's awesome that they're hyping up his solo tour 
️ what I love most about this album tho is how Louis talks about embracing his experiences in One Direction 
here's a quick ascii art of what I think the album's vibe looks like:
