Taylor Swift is a consummate Easter egg connoisseur, always dropping intricate hints about her future endeavors in everything she does, including her ongoing Eras Tour, That's why Swift on TikTok doesn't think she'll let the actual Easter holiday go by without doing something. anything. After releasing "Fearless" (Tyler's version) and "Red" (Tyler's version) in 2021, some fans believe that Swift is about to release her next re-recorded album before Easter Sunday, or that she may be leaving of all "Taylor's Edition" albums, and they did some pretty deep digging to formulate this theory.
It all started when Taylor Nation, Swift's official fan account, tweeted a photo of Swift's first outfit from her Eras tour, using lyrics from "Mirrorball," "Bejeweled" and "Paper Rings" to describe the sparkling look. "Shiny is beautiful. Bejeweled. I love shiny things. She is so dazzling," the account wrote. "We couldn't pick just one, so here are all four." Coincidentally, Swift has four more re-recorded albums to release: 2010's self-written album Speak Now , 2014's Grammy-winning "1989" , the US Album of the Year, 2017's "Reputation " and her 2006 debut album of the same name.
The real clue, however, lies in the fourth caption Taylor Nation tweeted, "She Shines So Bright," which isn't actually from one of Swift's songs.
"She Shines" may involve a mysterious person that even the most investigative Swift knows very little about: Niceboy Ed (that's not Ed Sheeran's nickname). Swift first used Niceboy ed's song "Life you Lead" in a TikTok video in October 2022, and Swift immediately noted that the new artist couldn't be traced back to anyone or anything identifiable, sparking controversy Questioning of his identity. Theories about the mysterious artist include that they are pseudonyms for Swift's boyfriend Joe Alwyn, one of his close friends, or even Swift herself disguised as a male voice.
Currently, on Niceboy ed's website, there are 10 Polaroid photos, a sign of the era in 1989 , in light blue, the color used in 1989 . Fans who signed up for the mailing list out of curiosity also received emails with Polaroid photos titled "Shining" and "Sunshine," which could link to the phrase "She shines so bright." Another Swiftie on TikTok also noticed that when you combine colors that represent Taylor Swift , "Speak Now," 1989 , and the Reputation in the Eras Tour poster, which basically creates the same blue hue that Niceboy ed used.

Adding to the speculation, Easter is Swift's only weekend off from the Eras Tour, with no shows scheduled until April 13, when the tour will resume in Tampa every weekend through August. Will Swift use this break to announce or even release a new project, or is she just taking some well-deserved personal downtime over the holidays? Only time will tell.
Swift's latest Easter eggs, specifically in the "Bejeweled" music video, point to "Speak Now" (Taylor's version) as her next album, so if she's only planning to announce one before Easter A new "Tyler Edition" album, be on the lookout for one If Niceboy ed's cues are anything to go by, that's 1989 . But with Swift at the helm, anything is possible, and everything is possible.
