You didn't think Taylor Swift would let the Eras Tour go by without dropping a few Easter eggs along the way, did you? Swifties already think the 12-time Grammy winner hinted at her next studio album during the Eras Tour finals, but she may have dropped some clues that it could be coming sooner: "Speak Now" (Taylor Version) .
During her performance of "22," Swift wore an outfit inspired by the iconic "Not a much gone on the moment" T-shirt from the song's 2013 music video. On opening night on March 17, she wore a shirt that said, "A lot's happening right now," completely turning the phrase upside down. The next night, she wore a T-shirt emblazoned with "22"'s lyrics, "Uh, who the hell is Taylor Swift?" Eagle-eyed fans noticed the "a lot" and "ew" were written in red , while the rest of the quote is black, leading fans to question what this might mean.
Considering Swift indicated through an Easter egg in her Bejeweled music video that " Speak Now" (Taylor's version) was the next song she would re-record, and her penchant for dropping confusing clues, fans must Spelling it out word for word, Swift immediately guessed that the red letters would eventually spell out "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)." Lo and behold, all the letters fit. Considering this is her most recent "Taylor's Version" album release, it's also fitting that this Easter egg dropped during the Red act of the Eras Tour.
This theory gained traction during her March 31 show in Arlington, Texas, where Swift debuted a third "22" shirt that read, "We'll Never Compound. As before. "Never" and "Ever" are highlighted in red letters, continuing to fill in the phrase "Say Now (Taylor's Version)".
However, there is an extra "v" in the album title, leading some to speculate that she may also be hinting at a release date for the re-recording. "I saw someone say it's spelled 'Now Speak Taylor's Version November 17th,'" one fan commented on the TikTok video.
There are still a few letters to fill out, which means Swifties will have to wait and see if she'll wear the new shirt during "22" in future shows. The Eras tour will resume after a short break on April 13 in Tampa, Florida, which is probably welcome news for Swift considering the show features a massive 44 songs that span over three hours of.
