Taylor Swift might be gearing up to announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) — and we’re ready for it.
Swift has been steadily re-recording and re-releasing her first six albums after her original masters were sold to Scooter Braun in 2019. Following the success of Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version) in 2021, she released Speak Now (Taylor's Version) in July and 1989 (Taylor's Version) in October.
With just two more re-records to unveil - Reputation from 2016 and her self-titled debut from 2006 - fans are eagerly searching for clues about which album is next. Many believe that Reputation will be the next release, especially after several singles, including "Delicate (Taylor's Version)" and "Look What You Made Me Do", were featured on TV shows earlier this summer, such as Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty and Wilderness.
Swift has been subtly changing her wardrobe to include more "Rep era" colors such as black, silver, and gold, a characteristic move she frequently makes when she wants to tease upcoming projects.
"I like leaving hints on clothing or jewelry," Swift explained in a 2019 interview with Entertainment Weekly. "It's one of my favorite methods because you can wear something that subtly foreshadows something else. People may not catch on right away, but they know you're probably communicating a message."

Every Song But ‘I Did Something Bad’
Since the start of the Eras Tour earlier this year, Swift has performed every song from Reputation during the "surprise songs" section of the concert, except for "I Did Something Bad." Fans speculate that this omission may be intentional, possibly as a nod to the designated "era" of the album, similar to how she previously held off on performing "New Romantics" until the announcement of 1989 (Taylor's Version).
Silver, Black and Gold All Over
Prior to her Speak Now (TV) and 1989 (TV) release, Swift subtly changed the color of her Eras Tour outfits to hint at an upcoming album announcement.

Dancers Drop Clues
In her performance in São Paulo, Brazil on November 24, the singer donned a stunning silver jacket for her rendition of “The Man” and a dazzling silver dress from her Fearless era. Later in the concert, she adorned a pink gown with black and gold embellishments, showcasing the signature colors of Reputation - black, gold, and silver.
During the Eras Tour, Swift's dancer Jan Ravnik shared a black and white photo of a snake on his Instagram Stories in November. The snake was a symbol for Swift's Reputation era in 2016, which was related to her feud with Kim Kardashian, during which the reality star referred to Swift as a snake.
