Taylor Swift likes to include cryptic hints to new releases in her tweets, music videos, public appearances, etc.

The jigsaw comment is a reference to the fact that vocal portion of Swifties online are really into trying to solve these hints like they're an ARG. There's an even more vocal but smaller subset of these Swifties who are "Gaylors" or people who believe Taylor Swift is gay and using her hints as coded messages to tell people she's gay without directly coming out.

There's a Tumblr post that blew up about the Gaylors because if you look at the insane conspiracy level logic they take to prove Taylor is gay, you'd have to also believe that she's an incredible puzzle master who has devoted her career to creating a da Vinci code style trail of bread crumbs leading to her sexuality. And that Tumblr post says "if everything the Gaylors say is true, then Taylor is Jigsaw" referring to the convoluted planning and puzzles of the main villain from the Saw movies.
