As Swifties know, nothing is ever \u201cjust a coincidence\u201d when it comes to Taylor Swift<\/a>. Her devoted fans have examined every outfit, Instagram post, and music video from Swift in an effort to unveil any Easter eggs<\/a> that might predict her next move, and their track record is quite impressive. They\u2019ve predicted her album titles and song collabs, and even correctly foretold that she would announce the release date of 1989<\/em><\/a> (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> on Aug. 9, aka 8\/9 \u2014 the last Eras Tour stop. Reputation (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> is the latest album with fan theories comparable to CIA-level investigations and once again, the fans found some convincing Easter eggs that corroborate their claims: that the re-release of her 2017 album is dropping sooner than you thought.<\/p>\n Out of all six of her re-records, Reputation (TV)<\/em> is the one album that Swift has been the most discreet about. With her other albums, she dropped singles, created puzzles based on her lyrics for fans to solve, and even wore each record\u2019s signature color in cryptic Instagram posts to boost excitement before each release. However, with Rep<\/em>, it wasn\u2019t until earlier this month when the album\u2019s hit single \u201cLook What You Made Me Do\u201d<\/a> was included in the season premiere of Wilderness<\/em>, a new Prime Video series, that fans even knew<\/a> that the re-recording existed.<\/p>\n So, no, Swift hasn\u2019t come right out and posted her album cover with a release date attached, but fans aren\u2019t surprised, as they anticipated this would be her approach to the press for Rep<\/em> based on an Instagram post from 2017. Just two months before the album\u2019s first release, Swift posted the cryptic caption,<\/a> \u201cThere will be no further explanation. There will just be reputation\u201d \u2014 a mysterious intention that people believe still applies six years later. Of course, fans took to social media to debunk these Easter eggs \u2014 and some even pointed to theories about the exact release date. From her recent rotating blue and black outfits to the mysterious glitch on her website, here are the Reputation (Taylor\u2019s Version<\/em>) fan theories that seem to have cracked Blondie\u2019s code. <\/p>\n As soon as every re-release rolls around, Swift seemingly embraces the fashion and beauty aesthetics<\/a> of each original album. For Speak Now (Taylor\u2019s Version), <\/em>her rotation featured romantic shades of purple and pink. With Red (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, she wore the fiery hue in practically every IG post ahead of its Nov. 12, 2021, release. Unsurprisingly, after she announced the release date for 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, she was spotted wearing a lacey blue dress (reminiscent of the dress she wore in the \u201cStyle\u201d music video) for a friend\u2019s wedding. However, recently, unlike other eras, Swift has been blending the signature colors from 1989<\/em> and Reputation<\/em>, alternating between blue-embellished preppy outfits and sultry black looks.<\/p>\n As soon as Swift first stepped out in a black tube top and a matching maxi skirt earlier this month, fans immediately caught wind of this specific style choice<\/a>, because as you know, nothing Swift does is coincidental.<\/p>\n She even got her celebrity friends in on the mischief \u2014 Blake Lively, Sophie Turner<\/a>, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, and Gigi Hadid were among the few who were photographed wearing 1989<\/em> and Reputation<\/em>-inspired outfits with Swift. One TikToker commented: \u201cI just noticed Sophie Turner\u2019s blue sneakers with the all-black outfit. Coincidence\u2026I think not,\u201d while another said, \u201cShe had a snake bracelet on at the VMAs when she wore the black Versace dress. This pattern is definitely a Reputation<\/em> nod.\u201d <\/p>\n With this mixture of blue and black outfits, fans are speculating that Swift will drop Rep<\/em> at the same time as 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, so keep your eyes peeled once Oct. 27 rolls around because we could be getting two brand new releases.<\/p>\n As soon as the album cover for 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> was revealed on Aug. 10, 2023, stans got to work analyzing its features and quickly noticed a callout to Reputation<\/em>. The first thing Swifties noticed was the two different letters in the art.<\/a> While the \u201cs\u201d in \u201cTaylor\u2019s\u201d looks perfectly normal, the \u201cs\u201d in \u201cVersion\u201d seemed to resemble a snake. Then, they realized the \u201cI\u201d and \u201cO\u201d in \u201cVersion\u201d look similar to \u201c10,\u201d and the \u201cn\u201d at the end of the word referenced November \u2014 leaving fans to conclude that Reputation<\/em> will be released on Nov. 10, which just so happens to be the six-year anniversary of the first release of the album.<\/p>\n In the song \u201cGlitch\u201d on the Midnights <\/em>album, there\u2019s a lyric that says \u201c2,190 days of our love blackout.\u201d Swift broke her infamous social media blackout on Nov. 10, 2017, when she released Reputation<\/em> for the first time. \u201c2,190 days after Nov. 10, 2017, is Nov. 9, 2023 \u2014 the first show on the second stretch<\/a> of the Eras Tour,\u201d one fan explained on TikTok<\/a>. Not only will Nov. 9, 2023, be the six-year anniversary of its release, but Reputation<\/em> is also Swift\u2019s sixth album. So, if she decides to keep the release a surprise, her Argentina audience is in for a treat.<\/p>\n Fans believe Swift is releasing her (Taylor\u2019s Version) albums on a 112-day cycle<\/a>. The Eras Tour began on March 17, 2023, and Speak Now (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> was released on July 7, 2023 \u2014 112 days after the start of the tour. Then, 112 days after that, on Oct. 27, 2023, 1989 (TV)<\/em> is scheduled to drop. If she continues with this plan, some fans believe she will release Reputation (TV)<\/em> on Feb. 16, 2024, and her self-titled re-release on June 7, 2024. Need to see some proof? Well, the Swifties came prepared. When her discography was sold, she lost the rights to 112 of her songs. At the first show in Mexico, Swift surprised her audience by performing \u201cI Forgot That You Existed\u201d and \u201cSweet Nothings\u201d \u2014 tracks one and 12 off of Lover<\/em> and Midnights<\/em>.<\/p>\n After she partnered with Google to create 33 million puzzles that eventually released the names of her five vault tracks<\/a> for 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, fans noticed a glitch on her website.<\/a> While trying to solve her many puzzles this week, fans noticed when they reloaded Swift\u2019s website<\/a>, the screen glitched black and white for too long to be ruled an accident. She has a long history of connecting glitches in her music videos and her IG posts to Reputation<\/em>. In August 2017, after three years of complete radio silence, Swift returned to social media with short clips of a snake \u2014 the mascot of the Reputation<\/em> era. Each video featured very obvious glitches and since then, the only time her posts have suffered technical errors has been when she\u2019s teasing something about Rep<\/em>.<\/p>\n Another malfunction Swifties caught was posted on the Taylor Nation Instagram account, which is run entirely by Swift\u2019s management team. The Sept. 16 post was a throwback to the announcement of \u201cWildest Dreams (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d<\/a> two years ago. However, they put such an emphasis on the word \u201cglitch\u201d in the caption that fans knew this had to be an Easter egg straight from Swift<\/a>. \u201cIf you look carefully at the glitch photo, you can see it flashes to another photo. The other photo is a screenshot from the Miss Americana<\/em> film when she\u2019s writing Reputation<\/em>,\u201d said one fan. \u201cLook at the overalls in the glitch photo. They look blue, but what if they are grey? And look at her hair in the glitch \u2014 it looks like her hair in the Rep<\/em> era. I think it\u2019s going to be the new album cover,\u201d theorized another devoted Swiftie.<\/p>\n Another cryptic pattern of Swift\u2019s? Revealing things about her upcoming releases at the MTV Video Music Awards<\/a> \u2014 last year, during her acceptance speech, she even revealed that Midnights <\/em>was coming. This year, some fans thought Swift might announce the release date of Reputation<\/em>, but unfortunately, she didn\u2019t. Instead, she used a four-minute speech to plant even more Easter eggs into the minds of Swifties everywhere. While accepting the award for Best Pop Video, she included that she \u201cloves slinking around different genres\u201d \u2014 a not-so-subtle phrase that Swifties caught immediately.<\/a> \u201cWhat do you think of when you hear the word slink? That\u2019s right, a snake,\u201d commented one TikTok creator. \u201cAlso did you see her hand movements when she said slinking? She literally turned into a snake,\u201d posted another. Swift\u2019s all-black outfit further confirmed fans’ theories. Instead of staying true to the 1989<\/em> aesthetic, she chose a black Versace gown and a snake bracelet \u2014 further eluding to the return of Rep\u2019s<\/em> edgy style.<\/p>\n On Aug. 31, 2023, Swift announced that a recorded version of the Eras Tour<\/a> would be coming to AMC theaters all around the U.S. on Oct. 13. She posted a sneak peek of the film<\/a> to her YouTube channel and Swifties were quick to notice that clips of her <\/a>Reputation<\/a><\/em> set list<\/a> kept flashing in and out of frame. \u201cThe Reputation<\/em> album only has four songs on the entire setlist of the Eras Tour<\/a>, so otherwise it doesn\u2019t make sense that so much of the Reputation<\/em> segment would be shown in the trailer. Unless it\u2019s an Easter egg for Reputation (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> coming soon,\u201d theorized one TikTok content creator<\/a>.<\/p>\nHer Alternating Blue & Black Outfits (Oct. 27, 2023)<\/h2>\n
