Animal Crossing Fan Makes Nostalgic Discovery in Their Basement

An Animal Crossing fan makes a nostalgic discovery that harkens back to earlier Nintendo platforms while exploring their gaming collection.

Redditor frappuccinio shared the cool Taylor Swift-themed home, which, according to the user, is based on Taylor Swift's self-titled debut country album. In their own words, the created uses a "country-like exterior" and looks to evoke "an immature / naive songwriter vibe on the inside." It certainly does a great job of that, with an adorable teddy bear tea party and a telescope looking out of the window to the windows and skies beyond. Even better, frappuccinio confirmed their plans to create vacation homes based on all 10 Taylor Swift albums in Animal Crossing: New Horizons over the next few weeks, so fans of other releases such as Speak Now, Reputation, and Folklore have plenty to look forward to from this gamer.

Taylor Swift is arguably the biggest pop star in the world at the moment, a status which has been strengthened through her career-defining Eras Tour. Over the years, gamers have paid tribute to Swift in their own ways, across various titles. There was even one gamer who turned every Taylor Swift album into themed bedrooms in The Sims 4, which is a similar concept to what this user has planned. With her level of fame, Swift isn't likely going anywhere anytime soon, so gamers can expect to see plenty more creations from others in the future.

As for the next Animal Crossing game, it remains radio silence from Nintendo. Just a single piece of DLC was released in late 2021 for New Horizons, and ever since, gamers have had no concrete information about when they can expect a new iteration in the franchise. It's surprising, given Animal Crossing: New Horizons set multiple sales records, that the company hasn't capitalized on its enduring possibility. It's because of these impressive sales figures that fans of the franchise likely have nothing to worry about, with Nintendo simply taking its time to cook up a fresh Animal Crossing experience.
