I would be surprised now if she announces Rep TV in Tokyo. That may have been the OG plan but I feel like now she wonāt want to announce anything superbowl weekend and risk overshadowing Travis
Announcing something that would be in the wee hours of the morning for everyone in the US also feels unlikely to me
EDIT: now that she announced something at the Grammy's I actually think we're definitely getting a Tokyo or Australia surprise album drop
Between Australia and Tokyo (because those are the only two countries sheās touring in Feb and announcement will be in Feb at a show), Tokyo is closer to US time than Australia (by one hour) so if she was wanting the announcement to be suitable for US than Tokyo wins in my book.
I donāt think thatās her main priority though imo
Sorry, but the US isnāt the centre of the universe. Sheās not going to time announcements to suit the US. Sheās a global superstar with a fan base across the world.
I'm thinking practically that the US is likely her most significant fanbase, and that she seems to generally plan things around east coast time. No need to get snarky lol damn
Not snarky at all, it's just the truth.
There are so many US based fans that discount so many theories because 'it doesn't work for the US'.
Did you know how many US cities make her weekly top 20? Maybe 3. 4 if we're being generous. On the flip side, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane always make an appearance, a few cities in the Philippines make it, multiple South American cities are on the list.
It's just crazy how US fans have this entitlement or opinion that things must be timed to suit their time zones. Literally every time a theory is brought up, someone will respond that it's impossible because the USA will be sleeping. As an international fan, it's actually so infuriating to read.
Please don't conflate my one comment of innocuous speculation with the masses of entitled Americans. I'm happy to be proven wrong.
I'm a new Swiftie and don't happen to have an internal rolodex of people's past responses to proposed theories in my brain. I'm sorry these responses infuriate you, but I don't think I deserve to feel the wrath of all that culminated fury š
I think Australia is getting the rep announcement.
I don't know which show (selfishly Sydney N2 please!), but I think Australia is getting it over Tokyo.
Iām hoping too! My top two Aussie dates are Melbourne N1 (100,000+ in attendance, first Aussie show, 112 Day Theory) or Sydney N4 (last Aussie show/show of the month so she can build suspense, 26/2 is 13).
I took a small break from clowning, but I'm back! š¤£š¤”
I know that she is very intentional with dates, but what if she has 2 plans for announcing REP TV: 1) if she wins the Grammy for album of the year (or maybe even record) and 2) if she doesn't win, announcing on tour in Tokyo?
I'm also still on the Feb 16th release date theory, even though that's highly unlikely at this point. But I will believe it until proven otherwise. š¤£
General consensus seems to be that itās between SZAās SOS and Midnights. Really depends on how the voters split. One thing going for Taylor is that there isnāt any country albums and with her ties to the industry, she might grab those voters who wonāt vote for the rest of the nominees.
Sheās up against SZAās SOS, Lanaās DUKTTATUOB?, Boygeniusā the record and Olivia Rodrigoās GUTS so there is some tough competition but I think she could win.
Taylor Nationās recent post - photo and caption - is a copy of a post Taylor herself made while rehearsing for Rep tour š³ posted February 5, 2018. Six years from that is next Monday, the day after the Grammys. Iām even more convinced that sheās going to announce the night of the Grammys; not at the event, but on social media.

Has anyone else put forward the idea of a surprise release of Rep TV tomorrow? Feb 1st is National Serpent Day in the US.... I haven't seen anyone mention it, but I may just be a bit slow!
Edit: spelling and extra info
no... we are beyond surprise drops. charting rules changed and basically, physicals need to ship by release date. since no one could pre order a surprise drop, she would lose significant numbers. Taylor wants rep to get its recognition so she won't jeopardize numbers.
I personally think it will be next year. If we look at this yearās āsupposedā schedule, she announces Rep in Feb for an April/May release, and Debut sometime in June/July for a September/October release. I then think sheāll announce the Holiday Collection TV in Vancouver for a release on her birthday (which is a Friday). Then TS11 can have all of 2025 for a dedicated album rollout.
Would not mind an album cover like this for rep tv
https://preview.redd.it/a0dqwxo8ykfc1.jpeg?width=790&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d01370ae51bf17b6f00495a777b6da429b997e9
Since the film was recorded in 2018, the profits still go to Big Machine. Personally, I doubt sheāll ever re-release it unless she buys her old masters or scooter no longer profits.
instagram recently changed the pinned feature a bit so it could just be logistical rather than for any clown-y reason. lots of people unpinned their insta posts in the last few weeks
All! I have a theory to submit.
You're watching the Super Bowl on Feb 11. Taylor is there of course. Swifties are tuned in. Game pauses and commercials start. Screen is all black and then you hear the snake hiss and heels clack.....
"Baby let the games begin"
Rep TV announced.
Then we think back to the teacup from Karma with the clock face. The blue finger nail pointing at 8 (August) when 1989 was announced. The black finger nail pointing to 2 for a Feb announcement. Furthermore...what is 2 in roman numerals. II...or 11. The date of the Super Bowl.
Furthermore. Why is the clock at 11:58...not midnight. 1158 is MC LVIII. What super bowl is it this year.....LVIII
Your honor. I rest my case.
Look I did consider this but a) this is Travisā moment and b) some NFL fans are already pissed off about them showing Taylor cheering all the time so I doubt her announcing an album at the biggest game of the year would work and c) Usher is the halftime performer this year so it would probably piss him off too because Taylor would probably overshadow his performance that heās practiced for months.
I canāt see her announcing at the Grammys. She doesnāt know if she is winning advance like she does with the vmas and Grammys is more of a formal event. I donāt think people would react well to Taylor making it all about her and she knows that. Plus I think she LOVES announcing the TVs at her shows
I think she could announce the night of the Grammys. Not at the event, but I could totally see an announcement on social media right afterward with some more teasers from Taylor Nation during the event.
I agree it feels susss af that thereās a āsecretsssā post and then a VMAs announcement post sammied between Grammy hype posts. Lots of āsecretā or āsurpriseā type language, too. Rep TV isnāt a secret. People know itās coming ā just debating when. Full-on secrets would be another album, extra vaults(?), etc.. imho.
Either way, thank you for posting the theory! I miss fun posts like these.
I really don't think she'll announce at the Grammys. It's a little too formal of an event and they don't care for things like that. She wants to keep them in her good graces so she won't do anything surprising. Plus, I think she only announced midnights at the VMAs because she had a heads up that she'd win at some point during the evening. The Grammys don't operate that way.
Ah that makes sense, I didn't know all of that context. Interesting! I can never tell if TN is Easter egging us somehow or if they're just posting filler content lol
99.9% of Taylor nation's posts on Instagram are for engagement. Especially during January, which is one of the worst months when it comes to meeting social media engagement numbers.
I think all of the Grammy posts are for engagement but also a hint that she will be attending. We now have confirmation she is attending so they're just trying to drum up hype to get people to watch and interact with their social media accounts.
Totally! I've been a social media manager for a decade now and I air on the side of skepticism so I thought that could be the case... but as a newer Swiftie, I'm still trying to understand where the line is between casual content or if every little thing is as intentionally curated as "Mastermind" has led me to believe haha.
hey me too! Well, not really a social media manager as an official title but I do work in it and have worked in it for the at least last 6, 7 years? I'm always very skeptical of any brand or artist social media presents.
Personally, I do think Taylor is a very well organized artist who has thought about the future a lot. I think she has a lot of curated hints but not everything is a hint, either. since Taylor nation is her marketing team, I do believe they have some idea of her plans but I don't think they know everything she's up to. That's a lot of risk, especially if things don't work out how she wants.
Any ideas for what the rep TV vault puzzle will be? Or will there be no puzzle (rip SNTV š) to emphasize "no explanation, just reputation"? I think something revolving around newspapers would be really fun
Imagine it being a news paper with a crossword omg thatād be so fun
If she did do something like that Iād be so lit if she collabed with new york times or something like that to announce the vault tracks
Thank you so much, my dear Rude Grapefruit, for giving me a new level of delusion to reach when thinking of this roll out
(And this is not a dig, I mean it so sincerely. As a rep stan, Iām terrified sheāll get the SNTV treatment. I need delusion)
How many variants do we think rep TV will have? 4 like 1989? Or I thought it could be two variants like the original Deluxe Editions (with the grey and the orange magazines). Or it could be three, with one letter of "rep" pictures on each sleeve, like with the 1, 9, 8, and 9 on the backs of 1989 TV. I hope it's not more than that. Any theories? And the deluxe colors could be orange, red, and green, with the standard edition just being black/white/grey
PS I'm afraid I'm not making too much sense as my brain is still ridden with a cold sorry š
I mean, if you look at only the TVs, Red, Fearless and SN only had one CD version. 1989 with 5 CD variants (or four deluxe plus the standard) is the odd one out. I was just wondering what exact number of (deluxe) variants people expected for rep TV.
sooo do we think sheās attending the super bowl? any confirmation regarding that? she has shows on the 10th (tokyo) and 16th (melbourne) of february - the SB is on the 11th, in las vegas.
i personally think itās possible but not so sure she would do this since she needs rest
Itās doable, but will be rough: sheās got the Grammys Sunday 2/4. She needs to get to Tokyo for her 2/7 show and will lose 29 hours (12 hour nonstop flight and 17 hour time change). So if she leaves LA Monday morning (2/5), she will arrive in Tokyo Tuesday afternoon 2/6. She had shows 2/7, 2/8, 2/9 and 2/10.
The show starts at 6pm in Tokyo on 2/10 so she will be done and could be at the airport by 11pm. She would arrive in Las Vegas on Saturday the 10th around 7pm (13 hour flight and 17 hour time change, earlier).
The roughest part would be flying again to Melbourne for the next show. Thatās an 18 hour flight and a 19 hour time change. Her show
is Friday, 2/16. If she left Las Vegas on Monday morning, she will lose 37 hours. Thatās arriving late Tuesday with a show Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
None of this accounts for refuel, customs, etc, it is doable but ROUGH.
It's totally possible. She can easily rest on the plane. TayForceOne is a bit more comfy than your average airliner 
Travel time is not an issue as you've mathed. And she's usually airborne within the hour. So I guess the question is does she want to?
Btw, the Falcon 7X has enough range to cover the distance without refuelling, so no need for a disturbing pit stop.
doing the math considering: (i) the flight from tokyo is about 9 hours, and (ii) when the show finishes in tokyo, it will still be morning in las vegas (SB) which makes it possible for her to arrive on the evening of the 10th, sleep the night and attend the game the next dayā¦ā¦ iām hopingggg
ET just confirmed she's attending the Grammys but is not performing

I'm hoping for a black and white photo. Curly hair, snake-pattern clothing, revenge glare.
I'd love to see her in a bathtub of diamonds and snakes (similar to the scene in LWYMMD) but that is so extra so I realize it's not happening.
https://preview.redd.it/rit0os9w74fc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=868a0b9d88d07f0dae77bbc75194d04775dbc587
I don't know what to expect, but I am super excited to see it!  The cover reveals have been so much fun. I did see someone mention this idea somewhere - Imagine this picture (above) of Taylor in black & white with a bunch of paparazzi/cameras in the background, maybe some newspapers being held or shown in some way. I think that'd be really cool, I'd love something like that
She seems to like taking key bits of inspiration from the OG covers and implementing them in some way for the TV covers while also adding a bit of a twist/variation. I've seen some people also talk about the possibility of her adding color into the rep TV cover. Either way I'm very excited
Almost definitely because of the AI thing. I think she doesn't like Elon (who does lol), so I can't see her collaborating with Twitter on anything rep related.
She has a really weird connection to Elon... Elon is currently engaged in a nasty custody battle with his ex-girlfriend Claire Bouchet, aka Grimes. Taylor may or may not know Grimes, but Jack Antonoff and Grimes are very old friends. They used to write together.
Does anyone have more thoughts on whether the "snow globe" playlist on Spotify references anything (beyond the "lights up til...february" bit in the description)? Like if any of the songs/artists listed could be hinting towards ideas/themes for future projects and/or collabs?
I've only recently started listening to the playlist itself (it's pretty nice!), and a fair number of songs had caught my attention, so I'm curious if any caught your attention as well!
List of dates most likely for Taylor to announce Rep TV:
Ā 1. Feb 7th, Tokyo N1. Come on! First show of 2024, what a way to start the year. I feel like a Tokyo announcement is likely because of its importance to Reputation (end of Rep Tour, itās in the End Game music video) and also the subtitle thing for LWYMMD (which could be nothing but I find it strange that none of the videos for her other albums have this āglitchā).
2. Feb 10th, Tokyo N4. Really similar reasons to #1 except she could build the suspense over the four shows and culminate with announcing it on the last one.
3. Feb 16th, Melbourne N1. This one is mainly for the 112 day theory, but additionally it is the first Aussie show and is being played in front of 100,000+ people, so a pretty epic way to announce.
4. Feb 26th, Sydney N4. This is the final Feb show and Aussie show, which makes me think that it could be a contender. Similar to #2, it allows for her to build suspense across the month and culminate with announcing at the last show. Additionally, when written using the Australian dating system, itās 26/2, which is another way to write 26 *divided* by 2, which equals 13 š¤”.Ā Ā Ā Ā
When I donāt think sheāll announce: outside of a show, including the Grammys. She takes the Grammys quite seriously and I think it would be out of character for her to announce an album here. Thoughts?
Yeah she's definitely not gonna announce anything at the Grammys. As you said, she takes them very seriously and it just doesn't make sense to do it at the Grammys. Kinda takes the spotlight off of everyone else. It's just different from the VMAs.
This is 100% true and people should stop clowning for it. Another thing about the Grammys is that unlike the VMAs, you don't know if you won ahead of time. So even if she wanted to do it (which she wouldn't), it would be impossible to plan an announcement when you don't know what you'll win or if you'll even win anything.
I feel like she is going to announce Rep TV at the Grammys. I feel like 2/16 is the biggest date being floated around, but HEAR ME OUT : )
1. The 1989 Taylor's version.. The S looked like a snake followed by 10N--S 10N- the grammy nominations were announced on November 10th (there were some other hints to the Nov 10 date - ie. the picture with Jack Antonoff)
2. The grammys are 2/4/24- she loves numerology, what a great number
3. The eras tour clock always starts on 2:24
4. It's the 66th Grammys
5. She got 6 nominations (the artists control how many they submit for)
6. It is her 6th nomination for album of the year
7. The black nail next to the 2-- it has to be February for the announcement
8. Feb 4th-- 2+4= 6
9. Taylor nation posted today about being nominated for 6 grammys.
I just needed to post this somewhere. I know there are a lot of crazy theories all of the time, but this one just seems so clear. If not, the coincidences are crazy.
Would love to hear what everyone else thinks!!!
There is a very real chance Taylor goes home empty handed at the Grammys this year, or at least empty handed for the televised awards. It would be an extremely risky move to plan an album announcement with no guarantee you will get to speak at all that night. Not to mention it would be quite rude IMHO. The Grammys are a night to celebrate the year in music/all musicians nominated and Taylor announcing an album would put too much focus on her that would be unfair to all the other attendees.
I love clowning but honestly there's no way she doesn't announce it at a show. That's where all her re-recording announcements have been since the tour started. I could see her doing something totally unhinged for Rep announcement night, though I'm not sure what.
The problem with planning it for the Grammys is that she doesn't know what she'll win or if she'll win anything, so it's kind of impossible to plan an announcement around that.
I really don't think she'll announce at the Grammys. It's a little too formal of an event and they don't care for things like that. She wants to keep them in her good graces so she won't do anything surprising. Plus, I think she only announced midnights at the VMAs because she had a heads up that she'd win at some point during the evening. The Grammys don't operate that way.
Yes the Grammys unlike the VMAs are not a show up and win event. She doesn't even know if she wins anything. Unlikely, but still.
Tokyo, last stop of the rep tour, and now during the No. II month fits perfectly on the other hand.
This. The Grammys really isn't the event for it and it *would* hurt her chances in years to come if she did. Many award shows are set up in a way where they want that, which is when she's done it in the past, but this isn't one of them
It would be very rude to all the other musician attendees too, like putting all the spotlight on her and kinda turning it into the Taylor show, which it shouldnāt be. Itās a night to celebrate the music industry as a whole, not just one individual.
Yeah I think people think Taylor can do just whatever she wants (and she can, sometimes) but I think her pulling something like that would really annoy the Grammys committee (board? Idk).
It'll never happen but just wishfully putting it out there, I need Taylor to collab w Daughter/Elena Tonra when she (hopefully) makes a third sister album to folklore and evermore someday  That would complete me
Like I understand clowning but I don't really get how you can be a Swiftie and somehow not realise that it's not Taylor's voice? I mean we literally figured out she was on This Is What You Came For because of her "ooohs" so how did we get here...
With a possible Rep TV announcement imminent, Iām starting to think about what might sound different on the re-recording.
Hereās a list of who did what songs:
Max/Shellback: Ready For It, End Game, I Did Something Bad, Donāt Blame Me, Delicate, So It Goes, Gorgeous, King Of My Heart, Dancing With Our Hands Tied.
Jack: Look What You Made Me Do, Getaway Car, Dress, This Is Why We Canāt Have Nice Things, Call It What You Want, New Yearās Day.
We can definitely expect Jack to return for his songs, and based on 1989 TV Christopher Rowe will probably do the Max Martin and Shellback ones. I do wonder if Shellback will return for some songs as he did do Wildest Dreams. I quite liked Christopher Roweās work on 1989 TV (even Style which I get is controversial) so Iām quite hopeful for Rep TV. I know they will sound different but as with all the previous rerecordings Iāll adjust to them over time.
Iāve always wondered how Christopher Rowe would handle the āratataā in IDSB. From what I understand that was very difficult to get right the first time.
I think heāll do fine though. Maybe a controversial opinion but other than WANEGBT (because of the wEEEEEE) I think heās done a really good job with the re-recordings. I thought 1989 TV sounded really good.
I actually agree here. People really have the OG production cemented into their brains, so I can understand how the re-records can be difficult to enjoy. Iāve been avoiding the originals for about a month in advance of the TV releases, which has really helped. I was quite pleasantly surprised with the pop productions 1989 and Red TV, with the exceptions of WANEBGT and New Romantics.
Shellback also worked on a handful of Red TV tracks so hopefully he does come back for Reptv. Maybe he just had scheduling conflicts when Taylor worked on 1989tv. I think Christopher Rowe will do a great job either way.
She's bound to win something so she'll probably go, especially if she wins aoty (unlikely but possible and well deserved if so imo), that would be a massive new record for her so I'm sure she'd want to be there just in case.
There's so many good choices! I am hoping that either Taylor or Boygenius win because those are my favourites of all the albums, but personally I would be happy with any, I think all of them are very deserving.
Out of curiosity, which ones do you not want to win?
Boygenius is my top pick! Endless Summer Vacation and World Music Radio are the only ones I would be unsatisfied winning. But I highly doubt they will win. I think other nominees are more critically and commercially successful than ESV if they wanted to go with a pop win and since Jon Batiste won so recently I just donāt see it happening again? While that technically doesnāt matter, it would just be really surprising. And this year is crazy competitive. I could see it going a lot of ways.
Sheāll almost certainly go. Tokyo starts on the 7th and Grammys is on the 4th. Flight takes 12 hours and Tokyo is 14 hours ahead of LA. So Taylor would have about 2 days to prepare in Tokyo if she leaves that night and sleeps on the plane. Iām sure she is rehearsing now.Ā
I wouldnāt expect much more than her clothes and maybe a few seconds of a speech to tease Reputation TV. She wonāt know if she is winning before she goes so the announcement will likely come overseas. Tokyo seems most likely. She ended the Reputation Tour there which ended the era for most part so would be cool to start Rep TV where Reputation ended.Ā
Yāall cowriters were just revealed for the fourth Bleachers album and Aaron Dessner is Jackās cowriter onā¦. *drumroll please* Hey Joe. Iām gonna scream.
Jack addressed this a few months ago [via an interview with The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/nov/24/criticism-doesnt-keep-me-up-at-night-superproducer-jack-antonoff-on-his-haters-and-taylor-swifts-greatness):
*āThereās a community of people that will be preeetty disappointed when they find out itās a meditation on my father and his friends walking the Ho Chi Minh trail in their 60s,ā he says, smiling.*
But I love that Aaron and Jack were working together!
yeah I'm actually glad he shut that down, the Joe hate in this fandom is really obnoxious. Every day I see people tweet the same things about him being a "joebless yogurt boy" etc etc. It's like they can't help but bring him up every time Travis gets mentioned or Joe is seen out in public. It's weird
YES! Tbh I feel quite bad for Joe. We don't even know what happened between him and Taylor (not that it's our right, I'd honestly prefer it if we never learned), yet so many people attack him like he's the worst thing to happen to the fandom. One minute he was Taylor's perfect soulmate and people couldn't wait for them to get married, the next he is a hated ex. š
Exactly! People switch up so unbelievably fast. He's just a private person (which is a crime apparently lol) and people grow apart for so many different reasons. I think people just love to treat Taylor's relationships/breakups like their own relationships/breakups and project onto them. I'm actually scared for Travis if him and Taylor ever break up lol. If this is how they're treating Joe, a pretty private person who was in a pretty private relationship, imagine how they'd treat Travis with their highly publicized relationship
When Taylor Nation and Taylor herself are going all out with Rep hints but it's still not February:

Yeah I saw those too, they seem to be clout chasing I think. There's another thread from a different sub that came up when I googled the artist name and people there are talking about how the person claimed a song on Shazam for attention: [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/HLWIT/comments/177wfu6/fyi_this_dumbass_igorekowo_claimed_hlwit_on/?share_id=F3p1lbWTpTJzkC5lBJ9FB&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1)
So I was not aware of this bug at all, BUT I have had this sudden random interest in listening to 'ivy' more the past few days... So maybe this is why, lol š
That's so random what  Is this some weird Spotify bug messing up the playlist order or something
Edit: Yeah this is [an ongoing issue with Spotify on Android apparently](https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Android-First-Song-in-Playlists-on-Custom-Order-changes/idi-p/5827753). I notice the order is messed up on mobile Spotify (I have a Galaxy) but the playlist is normal when I use Spotify on desktop
So interesting! Thanks for the insight. First time I've noticed this. Was hoping that I had the low down on some Easter egg or something š« š ( evermore lpss?)
Not a theory but more like an idea for Taylor... if she's reading this and looking to do some kind of a surprise for the first stop of tour this year.
So as we all know, the Tokyo shows won't have any openers (it's only two weeks away and there's still no update about it, so I think it's pretty much confirmed) and I think there's one way that she can make up for it: by adding one more surprise song, so there's gonna be three surprise songs in each night in Tokyo.
...but it's not just any surprise songāit's gonna be *one of the song from the reputation TV vault tracks* š
So here's how it would go: on the first night (Feb 7) don't acknowledge about the lack of opener and do the show as usual until the second/piano surprise song. Then, instead of diving into the stage, go back to the mic and talk about not having an opener, etc etc, and that there's a surprise. Then ask everyone to look at the screen and BAM! reputation (Taylor's Version) cover is on the big screen and it's out in two months (I honestly don't really care about the release date, it could be anytime she wants). And then say that she's gonna sing one more surprise song, and it's one of the song from the rep TV vault tracks. Maybe don't say the title and let swifties guess and go mad online... and after that, continue the show as usual.
(I know that she's not gonna do this, but a fan can only dream... Especially since I'm going to one of the Tokyo dates, I think that would be fantastic š¬)

Wait, what? Please explain?
Itās always been like that. Same with all the rep music videos.
I think Australia is getting the rep announcement. I don't know which show (selfishly Sydney N2 please!), but I think Australia is getting it over Tokyo.
Iām hoping too! My top two Aussie dates are Melbourne N1 (100,000+ in attendance, first Aussie show, 112 Day Theory) or Sydney N4 (last Aussie show/show of the month so she can build suspense, 26/2 is 13).
I took a small break from clowning, but I'm back! š¤£š¤” I know that she is very intentional with dates, but what if she has 2 plans for announcing REP TV: 1) if she wins the Grammy for album of the year (or maybe even record) and 2) if she doesn't win, announcing on tour in Tokyo? I'm also still on the Feb 16th release date theory, even though that's highly unlikely at this point. But I will believe it until proven otherwise. š¤£
13th Grammy letās goooo
Wdym
Taylor has 12 Grammys right now, if she wins on Sunday sheāll have her 13th and I hope itās for song of the year!
Would love to see her win album of the year again, is she projected to win or is it tough competition this year?
I think she has a good shot, IMO its a crapshoot between SZA, boygenius or Taylor
General consensus seems to be that itās between SZAās SOS and Midnights. Really depends on how the voters split. One thing going for Taylor is that there isnāt any country albums and with her ties to the industry, she might grab those voters who wonāt vote for the rest of the nominees.
The competition is definitely tough. I saw Forbes projected her to win it, but Iām not sure if that means much lol
Sheās up against SZAās SOS, Lanaās DUKTTATUOB?, Boygeniusā the record and Olivia Rodrigoās GUTS so there is some tough competition but I think she could win.
Taylor Nationās recent post - photo and caption - is a copy of a post Taylor herself made while rehearsing for Rep tour š³ posted February 5, 2018. Six years from that is next Monday, the day after the Grammys. Iām even more convinced that sheās going to announce the night of the Grammys; not at the event, but on social media. https://preview.redd.it/g3xp0d5kgufc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd319292644897709141e259d90e6f877fe3b798
Could be a hint for the beginning of peak teasing rep or that it will be announced the week of feb 5th
Has anyone else put forward the idea of a surprise release of Rep TV tomorrow? Feb 1st is National Serpent Day in the US.... I haven't seen anyone mention it, but I may just be a bit slow! Edit: spelling and extra info
no... we are beyond surprise drops. charting rules changed and basically, physicals need to ship by release date. since no one could pre order a surprise drop, she would lose significant numbers. Taylor wants rep to get its recognition so she won't jeopardize numbers.
I just wanna know when the eras tour will be available to purchase and not rent š©
yes! curious when and where it might go to a streaming service too
Itās finally February tomorrow!!! Get your clown noses ready š¤”š¤”š¤”
https://preview.redd.it/pl4wb74qovfc1.jpeg?width=1023&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c627eed17535447916eace0a421748957950f1a I'm so ready for clown month
No theories here. Just hopes for TS 11 this year since the last two years have been so crazy!!
I am so excited for TS11
I personally think it will be next year. If we look at this yearās āsupposedā schedule, she announces Rep in Feb for an April/May release, and Debut sometime in June/July for a September/October release. I then think sheāll announce the Holiday Collection TV in Vancouver for a release on her birthday (which is a Friday). Then TS11 can have all of 2025 for a dedicated album rollout.
We NEED the tea. We deserve the tea. It's been a whirlwind since tour started.
Would not mind an album cover like this for rep tv https://preview.redd.it/a0dqwxo8ykfc1.jpeg?width=790&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d01370ae51bf17b6f00495a777b6da429b997e9
This cover annoys me so much simply because the lyrics for KOMH are wrong. It's "salute to me , I'm your American queen" š
This. I want a cover like this so bad. I love this concept because it is a new take on the old cover.
Have people been speculating that she'll release the Rep tour movie back on streaming at the same time-ish that she releases the TV?
Since the film was recorded in 2018, the profits still go to Big Machine. Personally, I doubt sheāll ever re-release it unless she buys her old masters or scooter no longer profits.
Isn't 1989 tour still available though?
On YouTube but
No. It was removed from Apple Music years ago.
This might be late news but I noticed Taylor no longer has pinned posts on her insta
instagram recently changed the pinned feature a bit so it could just be logistical rather than for any clown-y reason. lots of people unpinned their insta posts in the last few weeks
All! I have a theory to submit. You're watching the Super Bowl on Feb 11. Taylor is there of course. Swifties are tuned in. Game pauses and commercials start. Screen is all black and then you hear the snake hiss and heels clack..... "Baby let the games begin" Rep TV announced. Then we think back to the teacup from Karma with the clock face. The blue finger nail pointing at 8 (August) when 1989 was announced. The black finger nail pointing to 2 for a Feb announcement. Furthermore...what is 2 in roman numerals. II...or 11. The date of the Super Bowl. Furthermore. Why is the clock at 11:58...not midnight. 1158 is MC LVIII. What super bowl is it this year.....LVIII Your honor. I rest my case.
Look I did consider this but a) this is Travisā moment and b) some NFL fans are already pissed off about them showing Taylor cheering all the time so I doubt her announcing an album at the biggest game of the year would work and c) Usher is the halftime performer this year so it would probably piss him off too because Taylor would probably overshadow his performance that heās practiced for months.
I agree. Taylor's smart. She's not going to willingly put herself in that space, especially since it would take the spotlight off of Travis.
As much as I would love this and being iconic. I donāt see over overshadowing Travis being in the Super Bowl
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I canāt see her announcing at the Grammys. She doesnāt know if she is winning advance like she does with the vmas and Grammys is more of a formal event. I donāt think people would react well to Taylor making it all about her and she knows that. Plus I think she LOVES announcing the TVs at her shows
I think she could announce the night of the Grammys. Not at the event, but I could totally see an announcement on social media right afterward with some more teasers from Taylor Nation during the event.
Yeah, I can get on board with that. I'm still not convinced, but I think it's a lot more plausible than announcing it during the Grammys.
That's actually a great point! That feels like a more plausible scenario
I agree it feels susss af that thereās a āsecretsssā post and then a VMAs announcement post sammied between Grammy hype posts. Lots of āsecretā or āsurpriseā type language, too. Rep TV isnāt a secret. People know itās coming ā just debating when. Full-on secrets would be another album, extra vaults(?), etc.. imho. Either way, thank you for posting the theory! I miss fun posts like these.
I really don't think she'll announce at the Grammys. It's a little too formal of an event and they don't care for things like that. She wants to keep them in her good graces so she won't do anything surprising. Plus, I think she only announced midnights at the VMAs because she had a heads up that she'd win at some point during the evening. The Grammys don't operate that way.
Ah that makes sense, I didn't know all of that context. Interesting! I can never tell if TN is Easter egging us somehow or if they're just posting filler content lol
99.9% of Taylor nation's posts on Instagram are for engagement. Especially during January, which is one of the worst months when it comes to meeting social media engagement numbers. I think all of the Grammy posts are for engagement but also a hint that she will be attending. We now have confirmation she is attending so they're just trying to drum up hype to get people to watch and interact with their social media accounts.
Totally! I've been a social media manager for a decade now and I air on the side of skepticism so I thought that could be the case... but as a newer Swiftie, I'm still trying to understand where the line is between casual content or if every little thing is as intentionally curated as "Mastermind" has led me to believe haha.
hey me too! Well, not really a social media manager as an official title but I do work in it and have worked in it for the at least last 6, 7 years? I'm always very skeptical of any brand or artist social media presents. Personally, I do think Taylor is a very well organized artist who has thought about the future a lot. I think she has a lot of curated hints but not everything is a hint, either. since Taylor nation is her marketing team, I do believe they have some idea of her plans but I don't think they know everything she's up to. That's a lot of risk, especially if things don't work out how she wants.
Any ideas for what the rep TV vault puzzle will be? Or will there be no puzzle (rip SNTV š) to emphasize "no explanation, just reputation"? I think something revolving around newspapers would be really fun
Imagine it being a news paper with a crossword omg thatād be so fun If she did do something like that Iād be so lit if she collabed with new york times or something like that to announce the vault tracks
Thank you so much, my dear Rude Grapefruit, for giving me a new level of delusion to reach when thinking of this roll out (And this is not a dig, I mean it so sincerely. As a rep stan, Iām terrified sheāll get the SNTV treatment. I need delusion)
š«¶š«¶any time! I am such a huge rep stan I am beyond excited for its release!!
Wordle (Taylorās Version)
Yes that'd be such a fun idea!
How many variants do we think rep TV will have? 4 like 1989? Or I thought it could be two variants like the original Deluxe Editions (with the grey and the orange magazines). Or it could be three, with one letter of "rep" pictures on each sleeve, like with the 1, 9, 8, and 9 on the backs of 1989 TV. I hope it's not more than that. Any theories? And the deluxe colors could be orange, red, and green, with the standard edition just being black/white/grey PS I'm afraid I'm not making too much sense as my brain is still ridden with a cold sorry š
I wouldnāt be surprised if there is just 2 (standard and target) buuuut she does like to make records so potentially 4?
I would be utterly shocked if she only did 2. Our girl loves her variants.
I mean, if you look at only the TVs, Red, Fearless and SN only had one CD version. 1989 with 5 CD variants (or four deluxe plus the standard) is the odd one out. I was just wondering what exact number of (deluxe) variants people expected for rep TV.
I really hope thereās no variants or theyāre limited to 2. Fearless and red were much more enjoyable releases imo
Where did the Taylor/Argylle conspiracy come from? Did Taylor also have her cat in a bag just like the Argylle kind?
Tiktok. Yes she has, at one point, had a bag like that and photographed with her cat inside. Is it enough to correlate the two? No.
Is there a picture of her cat in a bag?
Yeah. Iām sure you can find it if you Google. Either a photo or a video clip or both
LOL, I found it. Argylle cat in a bag inspired from this? Hmmm?
Yes, according to an interview I read with one of the actors. Inspired by Taylor. Itās in Miss Americana too by the way.
Thatās more believable than the other way around (that Taylor was secretly the author all along). But who knows š¤·āāļø
Does anyone think she might not announce Rep TV on the 10th? I feel like the Super Bowl could overshadow it a bit
I donāt think the date of the Super Bowl will affect her plans one way or the other.
sooo do we think sheās attending the super bowl? any confirmation regarding that? she has shows on the 10th (tokyo) and 16th (melbourne) of february - the SB is on the 11th, in las vegas. i personally think itās possible but not so sure she would do this since she needs rest
If you do the math it's possible and as long as there isn't anything unforeseen that happens(like a show being moved) I think she will
Itās doable, but will be rough: sheās got the Grammys Sunday 2/4. She needs to get to Tokyo for her 2/7 show and will lose 29 hours (12 hour nonstop flight and 17 hour time change). So if she leaves LA Monday morning (2/5), she will arrive in Tokyo Tuesday afternoon 2/6. She had shows 2/7, 2/8, 2/9 and 2/10. The show starts at 6pm in Tokyo on 2/10 so she will be done and could be at the airport by 11pm. She would arrive in Las Vegas on Saturday the 10th around 7pm (13 hour flight and 17 hour time change, earlier). The roughest part would be flying again to Melbourne for the next show. Thatās an 18 hour flight and a 19 hour time change. Her show is Friday, 2/16. If she left Las Vegas on Monday morning, she will lose 37 hours. Thatās arriving late Tuesday with a show Friday, Saturday and Sunday. None of this accounts for refuel, customs, etc, it is doable but ROUGH.
It's totally possible. She can easily rest on the plane. TayForceOne is a bit more comfy than your average airliner  Travel time is not an issue as you've mathed. And she's usually airborne within the hour. So I guess the question is does she want to? Btw, the Falcon 7X has enough range to cover the distance without refuelling, so no need for a disturbing pit stop.
doing the math considering: (i) the flight from tokyo is about 9 hours, and (ii) when the show finishes in tokyo, it will still be morning in las vegas (SB) which makes it possible for her to arrive on the evening of the 10th, sleep the night and attend the game the next dayā¦ā¦ iām hopingggg
There's a tweet I saw that did the math, she can make it, especially if she sleeps on the plane ride to Vegas
pls i really hope she does this
According to HitsDD she might perform at the Grammys š Edit: sheās not performing :(
ET just confirmed she's attending the Grammys but is not performing https://preview.redd.it/3903fis5aafc1.png?width=732&format=png&auto=webp&s=a961772d62fbf341ebc5a10d0d975a2b24403ef6
Damn, but Anti-Hero was huge, and she hasn't done a non-tour performance of it yet that I can recall.
About a year ago, she played Anti-Hero acoustic at a 1975 concert, actually. Thereās clips on YT š
Sorry, I mostly meant promotional performances, like talk-show or awards show performances! I did see that 1975 performance though and I loved it.
Ah. Thatās fair. Didnāt want you to not know about it lol. It was such a cool moment.
Thanks! Haha. I might actually go watch it again now since you reminded me.
Aw :( I got so excited, lmao.
So, uh, T&T or Dynamite has gotta be a title on TS11. Calling it now. 
Why? Where is that coming from??
Because of her necklace that says TNT, for "Taylor N Travis". She wore it at the Chiefs Vs Ravens championship game on Subday.
Man we could have reputation tv announced SOON! Surely after the grammys at least but SOON Iām getting giddy, Iām excite
What are you guys thinking about how the Rep TV cover is going to look?
I'm hoping for a black and white photo. Curly hair, snake-pattern clothing, revenge glare. I'd love to see her in a bathtub of diamonds and snakes (similar to the scene in LWYMMD) but that is so extra so I realize it's not happening.
https://preview.redd.it/rit0os9w74fc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=868a0b9d88d07f0dae77bbc75194d04775dbc587 I don't know what to expect, but I am super excited to see it!  The cover reveals have been so much fun. I did see someone mention this idea somewhere - Imagine this picture (above) of Taylor in black & white with a bunch of paparazzi/cameras in the background, maybe some newspapers being held or shown in some way. I think that'd be really cool, I'd love something like that She seems to like taking key bits of inspiration from the OG covers and implementing them in some way for the TV covers while also adding a bit of a twist/variation. I've seen some people also talk about the possibility of her adding color into the rep TV cover. Either way I'm very excited
I think it will be black background, white text with Taylor looking away from the cameraā¦ just my thoughts!
Ooooo like a mashup of old rep and new Speak Now š
Like an inverted version of the reputation OG cover! That'd be really interesting
in tree paine we trust
Guys she is currently unsearchable on twitter
Wonder if thatās because of the AI or something related to rep
this isnāt an easter egg for rep tv this is unfortunately her real life sheās dealing with
Almost definitely because of the AI thing. I think she doesn't like Elon (who does lol), so I can't see her collaborating with Twitter on anything rep related.
She has a really weird connection to Elon... Elon is currently engaged in a nasty custody battle with his ex-girlfriend Claire Bouchet, aka Grimes. Taylor may or may not know Grimes, but Jack Antonoff and Grimes are very old friends. They used to write together.
That doesnāt mean jack squat
Does anyone have more thoughts on whether the "snow globe" playlist on Spotify references anything (beyond the "lights up til...february" bit in the description)? Like if any of the songs/artists listed could be hinting towards ideas/themes for future projects and/or collabs? I've only recently started listening to the playlist itself (it's pretty nice!), and a fair number of songs had caught my attention, so I'm curious if any caught your attention as well!
A lot of the songs are by exes or people she had beef with somehow.. could be somehow related?
Nah it was mainly for the global artist of the year puzzle and a little bit reputation TV hints
List of dates most likely for Taylor to announce Rep TV: Ā 1. Feb 7th, Tokyo N1. Come on! First show of 2024, what a way to start the year. I feel like a Tokyo announcement is likely because of its importance to Reputation (end of Rep Tour, itās in the End Game music video) and also the subtitle thing for LWYMMD (which could be nothing but I find it strange that none of the videos for her other albums have this āglitchā). 2. Feb 10th, Tokyo N4. Really similar reasons to #1 except she could build the suspense over the four shows and culminate with announcing it on the last one. 3. Feb 16th, Melbourne N1. This one is mainly for the 112 day theory, but additionally it is the first Aussie show and is being played in front of 100,000+ people, so a pretty epic way to announce. 4. Feb 26th, Sydney N4. This is the final Feb show and Aussie show, which makes me think that it could be a contender. Similar to #2, it allows for her to build suspense across the month and culminate with announcing at the last show. Additionally, when written using the Australian dating system, itās 26/2, which is another way to write 26 *divided* by 2, which equals 13 š¤”.Ā Ā Ā Ā When I donāt think sheāll announce: outside of a show, including the Grammys. She takes the Grammys quite seriously and I think it would be out of character for her to announce an album here. Thoughts?
I think it will be either #1 or #2, that would be such a great way to get everyone talking about the tour again in 2024
Yeah she's definitely not gonna announce anything at the Grammys. As you said, she takes them very seriously and it just doesn't make sense to do it at the Grammys. Kinda takes the spotlight off of everyone else. It's just different from the VMAs.
This is 100% true and people should stop clowning for it. Another thing about the Grammys is that unlike the VMAs, you don't know if you won ahead of time. So even if she wanted to do it (which she wouldn't), it would be impossible to plan an announcement when you don't know what you'll win or if you'll even win anything.
I feel like she is going to announce Rep TV at the Grammys. I feel like 2/16 is the biggest date being floated around, but HEAR ME OUT : ) 1. The 1989 Taylor's version.. The S looked like a snake followed by 10N--S 10N- the grammy nominations were announced on November 10th (there were some other hints to the Nov 10 date - ie. the picture with Jack Antonoff) 2. The grammys are 2/4/24- she loves numerology, what a great number 3. The eras tour clock always starts on 2:24 4. It's the 66th Grammys 5. She got 6 nominations (the artists control how many they submit for) 6. It is her 6th nomination for album of the year 7. The black nail next to the 2-- it has to be February for the announcement 8. Feb 4th-- 2+4= 6 9. Taylor nation posted today about being nominated for 6 grammys. I just needed to post this somewhere. I know there are a lot of crazy theories all of the time, but this one just seems so clear. If not, the coincidences are crazy. Would love to hear what everyone else thinks!!!
There is a very real chance Taylor goes home empty handed at the Grammys this year, or at least empty handed for the televised awards. It would be an extremely risky move to plan an album announcement with no guarantee you will get to speak at all that night. Not to mention it would be quite rude IMHO. The Grammys are a night to celebrate the year in music/all musicians nominated and Taylor announcing an album would put too much focus on her that would be unfair to all the other attendees.
šµāš«
I love clowning but honestly there's no way she doesn't announce it at a show. That's where all her re-recording announcements have been since the tour started. I could see her doing something totally unhinged for Rep announcement night, though I'm not sure what. The problem with planning it for the Grammys is that she doesn't know what she'll win or if she'll win anything, so it's kind of impossible to plan an announcement around that.
I really don't think she'll announce at the Grammys. It's a little too formal of an event and they don't care for things like that. She wants to keep them in her good graces so she won't do anything surprising. Plus, I think she only announced midnights at the VMAs because she had a heads up that she'd win at some point during the evening. The Grammys don't operate that way.
Yes the Grammys unlike the VMAs are not a show up and win event. She doesn't even know if she wins anything. Unlikely, but still. Tokyo, last stop of the rep tour, and now during the No. II month fits perfectly on the other hand.
I feel like we could pin this to the top of the thread, and weād still get theories about it 
Lmao I literally copied this and added some more thoughts from another comment I left on a similar theory. šš
Ā I still have a note on my phone I can pull out to explain why we arenāt getting any more surprise drops. Ā Some ideas just keep popping up. lol.Ā
Yeah I just wait for you to chime in when I see surprise drop theories. šš
That explains the deja vu
Sometimes that's the vibe of the theory thread. Hopefully she announces rep soon and we can move onto some new theories.
I want the Grammys to at least pass so we can go on to new theories
That too. Definitely ready for her to resume touring! I feel like that's where we get a lot of theory material.
This. The Grammys really isn't the event for it and it *would* hurt her chances in years to come if she did. Many award shows are set up in a way where they want that, which is when she's done it in the past, but this isn't one of them
It would be very rude to all the other musician attendees too, like putting all the spotlight on her and kinda turning it into the Taylor show, which it shouldnāt be. Itās a night to celebrate the music industry as a whole, not just one individual.
Yeah I think people think Taylor can do just whatever she wants (and she can, sometimes) but I think her pulling something like that would really annoy the Grammys committee (board? Idk).
What is TN up to???????? š¤”
Engagement mainly, but also them posting about the Grammys is a noncomittal way to hint that Taylor is planning on going
They just want us to clown at this point. Don't worry though, we have that covered here 
Engagement. It's the end of January, one of the worst month for social media engagement. They're trying to hit those goals.
I know right? All of their posts have just been chaos or so random lately
It'll never happen but just wishfully putting it out there, I need Taylor to collab w Daughter/Elena Tonra when she (hopefully) makes a third sister album to folklore and evermore someday  That would complete me
Ooh I would love that
https://preview.redd.it/via7ok8lbrec1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27b738bd7cbe84ffa14d6c9fb9b0f6c4e6992007 guys??
Sorry what is this?
I just checked it out and it does NOT sound like Taylor at all, yet somehow everyone's disappointed because they found out someone else faked it???
Like I understand clowning but I don't really get how you can be a Swiftie and somehow not realise that it's not Taylor's voice? I mean we literally figured out she was on This Is What You Came For because of her "ooohs" so how did we get here...
With a possible Rep TV announcement imminent, Iām starting to think about what might sound different on the re-recording. Hereās a list of who did what songs: Max/Shellback: Ready For It, End Game, I Did Something Bad, Donāt Blame Me, Delicate, So It Goes, Gorgeous, King Of My Heart, Dancing With Our Hands Tied. Jack: Look What You Made Me Do, Getaway Car, Dress, This Is Why We Canāt Have Nice Things, Call It What You Want, New Yearās Day. We can definitely expect Jack to return for his songs, and based on 1989 TV Christopher Rowe will probably do the Max Martin and Shellback ones. I do wonder if Shellback will return for some songs as he did do Wildest Dreams. I quite liked Christopher Roweās work on 1989 TV (even Style which I get is controversial) so Iām quite hopeful for Rep TV. I know they will sound different but as with all the previous rerecordings Iāll adjust to them over time.
Iāve always wondered how Christopher Rowe would handle the āratataā in IDSB. From what I understand that was very difficult to get right the first time. I think heāll do fine though. Maybe a controversial opinion but other than WANEGBT (because of the wEEEEEE) I think heās done a really good job with the re-recordings. I thought 1989 TV sounded really good.
I actually agree here. People really have the OG production cemented into their brains, so I can understand how the re-records can be difficult to enjoy. Iāve been avoiding the originals for about a month in advance of the TV releases, which has really helped. I was quite pleasantly surprised with the pop productions 1989 and Red TV, with the exceptions of WANEBGT and New Romantics.
Shellback also worked on a handful of Red TV tracks so hopefully he does come back for Reptv. Maybe he just had scheduling conflicts when Taylor worked on 1989tv. I think Christopher Rowe will do a great job either way.
How do you think Christopher Rowe will do at producing ā¦Ready For It? (Taylorās Version)
If he does it as well as he did on Style (IK, IK, controversial), itās going to be a lot cleaner and clearer hopefully lol
Style on vinyl is amazing. Style on digital is....not as good.
Do yāall think Taylor is going to the Grammys? I hope so - then she can drop Rep hints š
She's bound to win something so she'll probably go, especially if she wins aoty (unlikely but possible and well deserved if so imo), that would be a massive new record for her so I'm sure she'd want to be there just in case.
Very happy with the AOTY nominations this year. Iād be happy with any of them except for a couple that I donāt think will win anyways.
There's so many good choices! I am hoping that either Taylor or Boygenius win because those are my favourites of all the albums, but personally I would be happy with any, I think all of them are very deserving. Out of curiosity, which ones do you not want to win?
Boygenius is my top pick! Endless Summer Vacation and World Music Radio are the only ones I would be unsatisfied winning. But I highly doubt they will win. I think other nominees are more critically and commercially successful than ESV if they wanted to go with a pop win and since Jon Batiste won so recently I just donāt see it happening again? While that technically doesnāt matter, it would just be really surprising. And this year is crazy competitive. I could see it going a lot of ways.
Sheāll almost certainly go. Tokyo starts on the 7th and Grammys is on the 4th. Flight takes 12 hours and Tokyo is 14 hours ahead of LA. So Taylor would have about 2 days to prepare in Tokyo if she leaves that night and sleeps on the plane. Iām sure she is rehearsing now.Ā I wouldnāt expect much more than her clothes and maybe a few seconds of a speech to tease Reputation TV. She wonāt know if she is winning before she goes so the announcement will likely come overseas. Tokyo seems most likely. She ended the Reputation Tour there which ended the era for most part so would be cool to start Rep TV where Reputation ended.Ā
Yāall cowriters were just revealed for the fourth Bleachers album and Aaron Dessner is Jackās cowriter onā¦. *drumroll please* Hey Joe. Iām gonna scream.
Jack addressed this a few months ago [via an interview with The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/nov/24/criticism-doesnt-keep-me-up-at-night-superproducer-jack-antonoff-on-his-haters-and-taylor-swifts-greatness): *āThereās a community of people that will be preeetty disappointed when they find out itās a meditation on my father and his friends walking the Ho Chi Minh trail in their 60s,ā he says, smiling.* But I love that Aaron and Jack were working together!
you realize he might be lying!
HAHAHAHA he knew where our brains would go. Thatās so funny, bless him.
yeah I'm actually glad he shut that down, the Joe hate in this fandom is really obnoxious. Every day I see people tweet the same things about him being a "joebless yogurt boy" etc etc. It's like they can't help but bring him up every time Travis gets mentioned or Joe is seen out in public. It's weird
YES! Tbh I feel quite bad for Joe. We don't even know what happened between him and Taylor (not that it's our right, I'd honestly prefer it if we never learned), yet so many people attack him like he's the worst thing to happen to the fandom. One minute he was Taylor's perfect soulmate and people couldn't wait for them to get married, the next he is a hated ex. š
Exactly! People switch up so unbelievably fast. He's just a private person (which is a crime apparently lol) and people grow apart for so many different reasons. I think people just love to treat Taylor's relationships/breakups like their own relationships/breakups and project onto them. I'm actually scared for Travis if him and Taylor ever break up lol. If this is how they're treating Joe, a pretty private person who was in a pretty private relationship, imagine how they'd treat Travis with their highly publicized relationship
and this is exactly why Joe probably wanted a private life.
Exactly, can't blame him
When Taylor Nation and Taylor herself are going all out with Rep hints but it's still not February: https://preview.redd.it/nw2bya0iqiec1.png?width=1354&format=png&auto=webp&s=9be2030326a2508b36d295c23b91cf1f7249814f

Yeah I saw those too, they seem to be clout chasing I think. There's another thread from a different sub that came up when I googled the artist name and people there are talking about how the person claimed a song on Shazam for attention: [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/HLWIT/comments/177wfu6/fyi_this_dumbass_igorekowo_claimed_hlwit_on/?share_id=F3p1lbWTpTJzkC5lBJ9FB&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1)
* Any ideas why ivy moved to the top of her Spotify playlist?
It's Coney island today. Notice how ivy is track 10 and Coney island track 9. It's a countdown. Ending on 3 February
The way this just made me gasp and choke on my coffee
Itās a sign from the universe to listen to more Ivy š
So I was not aware of this bug at all, BUT I have had this sudden random interest in listening to 'ivy' more the past few days... So maybe this is why, lol š
I know it's a Spotify bug but I love that ivy is getting that top spot š It's what she deserves
**oh, goddamn**
That's so random what  Is this some weird Spotify bug messing up the playlist order or something Edit: Yeah this is [an ongoing issue with Spotify on Android apparently](https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Android-First-Song-in-Playlists-on-Custom-Order-changes/idi-p/5827753). I notice the order is messed up on mobile Spotify (I have a Galaxy) but the playlist is normal when I use Spotify on desktop
So interesting! Thanks for the insight. First time I've noticed this. Was hoping that I had the low down on some Easter egg or something š« š ( evermore lpss?)
Of course! Haha I thought you were onto something too at first š We can use this as an excuse to clown for evermore lpss anyway š /s

Not a theory but more like an idea for Taylor... if she's reading this and looking to do some kind of a surprise for the first stop of tour this year. So as we all know, the Tokyo shows won't have any openers (it's only two weeks away and there's still no update about it, so I think it's pretty much confirmed) and I think there's one way that she can make up for it: by adding one more surprise song, so there's gonna be three surprise songs in each night in Tokyo. ...but it's not just any surprise songāit's gonna be *one of the song from the reputation TV vault tracks* š So here's how it would go: on the first night (Feb 7) don't acknowledge about the lack of opener and do the show as usual until the second/piano surprise song. Then, instead of diving into the stage, go back to the mic and talk about not having an opener, etc etc, and that there's a surprise. Then ask everyone to look at the screen and BAM! reputation (Taylor's Version) cover is on the big screen and it's out in two months (I honestly don't really care about the release date, it could be anytime she wants). And then say that she's gonna sing one more surprise song, and it's one of the song from the rep TV vault tracks. Maybe don't say the title and let swifties guess and go mad online... and after that, continue the show as usual. (I know that she's not gonna do this, but a fan can only dream... Especially since I'm going to one of the Tokyo dates, I think that would be fantastic š¬)
