It's been three months since Taylor Swift released "1989" (Taylor's version). Since then, she's been wearing black, snake print, and reptilian green, which means one thing: Reputation (Taylor's version) is coming.
Since October, Swifties have been doing their best to find out when the singer will announce and release her fifth "Taylor's Edition" album. A new viral theory, stemming from a possible Easter egg in her Eras Tour tracklist, predicts the April announcement.
As Swiftie @tayslotsversion first pointed out on For example, "Fearless" is the second act of the play, she confirmed " Fearless" (TV series) release date February 2021.
The pattern has been accurate for every re-recording so far. Swift announced the show's fifth act , Speak Now (TV), in May 2023. Next, the red era comes, and she launched "Red" (TV) in June 2021. Finally, she announced the eighth act of the concert, "1989", on August 9.
If this trend continues, Swift will announce the release of Reputation (TV) sometime in April. However, there is one factor that could undermine this pattern.
Why playlists can be misleading
Since the Eras tour kicked off in March 2023, Swift has showcased her "Taylor's Version" album during her shows, announcing "Speak Now" (TV) and "1989" (TV) on stage in Nashville ) In Los Angeles.
At both events, Swift gave a speech about the album, then dramatically unveiled the cover art and release date on the big screen before performing the first "secret song" from the album that night. song.
Since she's touring in 2024, it makes sense that Swift would keep up the tradition with "Reputation" and her self-titled debut album (which is expected to be her last "Taylor Edition" album) . However, she has no performances scheduled for April, which means Swift will either break that pattern or announce Reputation differently.
Previous viral theories pointed to the "Karma" music video, which showed a latte clock with a sky blue nail next to the "eight" and a black nail next to the "two." Since Swift announced 1989 (TV) in August, it's expected that she will announce Reputation (TV) in February.
She'll also be performing in Japan, Australia and Singapore in February, giving her plenty of opportunities to showcase Reputation (TV) on stage. However, if she releases the album in April, as one fan suspects, this playlist theory may still be true.
