Taylor Swiftmay have just dropped a serious hint thatreputation(Taylor’s Version)will be her next re-recorded album.Swift has been on a two-rerecordings every-other-year schedulesince 2021, when she released her first rerecorded album,Fearless(Taylor’s Version). She also released two albums in between,Midnightsin 2022 andThe Tortured Poets Departmentin 2024.
However,fans have been most excited aboutreputation (Taylor’s Version), so much so that they have often read too much into Swift’s actions.

This time, however, Swift’s latest appearance may have been a legitimate hint.

Taylor Swift Hinted Toward Reputation In Her Acceptance Video
During the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Taylor Swift was honored with the Tour of the Century award for The Eras Tour. While Swift didn’t attend the award show, she sent in an acceptance video which the show aired after announcing her win.Nothing is ever a coincidence with Taylor Swift, so it was likely no mistake that she was wearing a snake necklace in her acceptance video.
While Swifties often go to extremes to prove that Swift’s actions are Easter eggs pointing to future projects,Swift typically makes her Easter eggs a little more on the nose. For example, Swift hinted thatSpeak Now (Taylor’s Version)was on its way by pressing the purple elevator button in the “Bejeweled” music video. Later, she’d hint towards1989 (Taylor’s Version)at the end of the “I Can See You” music video. Swift jumped into a white van before the car took off in the direction of a sign that read “1989 TV.”
The official color ofSpeak Nowis purple, which is why Taylor Swift hit the purple button in the “Bejeweled” music video.
