Taylor Swift always has something up her sleeve. Whether we've noticed or not, she's hinting reputation (Taylor's Version) is on the way. Swift's sixth studio album is the one Swifties have been most excited to see get re-released. The album was a response to the public turning on her in 2016 after Swift's Kim Kardashian and Kanye West feud. During the initial release, the world was against the pop star, but this time around, she has a bigger fanbase than she's ever had.

Her re-recordings have contributed to why so many people have jumped on board in recent years. These re-recordings also led to the record-breaking Eras Tour. Swift was able to revisit all of her albums during her three-and-a-half-hour concert that concluded in December 2024. While the tour is over, there are still two more albums that need to be re-released, and it seems that reputation (Taylor's Version) could be coming sooner than we think.

Taylor Swift's Reputation Era Was Announced After A Social Media Hiatus

Swift Was Gone For 87 Days

When Taylor Swift announced reputation in 2017, it was after a long social media hiatus. Swift had already stepped away from being super-public with her life after the internet turned on her in 2016. In 2017, she spent about 87 days without posting on her . Then, on July 13th, 2017, Swift broke her hiatus to promote her best friend Selena Gomez's song "Fetish." The next posts that Swift made would be the iconic snake clips, leading to the announcement of reputation.

I will never forget the chaos Swift created among Swifties when she wiped her social media s clean, even turning her profile images into the default new icons, to prepare for the announcement. All of this is to say that Swift has been on a pretty long Instagram hiatus recently, adding fuel to rumors that reputation (Taylor's Version) is on its way.

Swift's Current Social Media Hiatus Is Her Longest Since Reputation

Swift Hasn't Posted To Her Feed In Over 100 Days

When Taylor Swift ended her nearly two-year-long Eras Tour in December, she bid farewell via an Instagram post on December 11th. Little did we know that this would be her final post for months. Taylor Swift has not posted anything to her feed since, and it's hard not to suspect she might be up to something.

On the one hand, she deserves to take a long break after how grueling it was for her to put on a three-and-half hour-long show for almost two years. On the other hand, nothing Taylor Swift ever does is by coincidence, and she knows that fans are expecting reputation (Taylor's Version) soon, so this could be her confirmation that it's actually coming.

Will Swift's Return To Social Media Be The Reputation TV Announcement?

Taylor Swift Has Been Hinting The Re-Recording Is On Its Way

Swifties tend to think every move Taylor Swift makes is a hint that reputation (Taylor's Version) is coming. While Swift tends to make her Easter eggs more obvious, Swifties sometimes find themselves doing intense math equations to find out when the album will be announced and released. However, recently, Taylor Swift has been giving more obvious hints that the re-recording is on its way. It started at her Miami Eras Tour concert when she finally wore a new bodysuit for the reputation era.

It was the only era, other than Red, where she never switched up the bodysuit, so fans saw it as a sign. Then, on the final night of the show, Taylor Swift sang a mashup of "New Year's Day" and "Long Live" as a surprise song. The mashup was only ever performed before on her Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018. However, the biggest reputation hint came recently when Taylor Swift virtually accepted an iHeartRadio award for tour of the century. In her acceptance video, she was very clearly wearing a snake necklace.

Not only was the snake the official symbol of the reputation era, but the necklace also resembled the one she wore in the "Look What You Made Me Do" music video. While Swift still hasn't posted anything to her feed, she recently broke her hiatus to promote Selena Gomez's new album I Said I Love You First on her Instagram story. It's hard not to compare this to 2017 when she broke her hiatus by promoting "Fetish."

However, Swift captioned the story, "I love this album so much oh my godddddddddddd." The twelve d's in the word god could be a coincidence, or they could be hinting towards Swift's next studio album, which will be her 12th. Still, it seems more likely that reputation (Taylor's Version) will be out first and that the next post that Taylor Swift makes on her Instagram feed may just be the announcement.
