When does the 'New Heights' podcast drop?
Fans will be tuning in on Aug. 13 for a 7 p.m. ET drop. The 13th would be apropos for an announcement as it is Swift's favorite number.
'See you next era...'
Swift's team placed her Eras Tour book in a glass case at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. Each year, the display inside the Taylor Swift Education Center gets a refresh.
In April, curators cracked the book open to its first page. The exhibit's theme this year is "Fearless," so many expected a page from that era to be displayed alongside her Roberto Cavalli "silver noodle" dress, Christian Louboutin boots and the Swarovski-crystal guitar her family famously bedazzled. But on the page shown, Swift writes: "There's nothing I hate more than doing what I've always done."
Clues to "TS12" or her 12th era have been everywhere, according to eagle-eyed Swifties:

Anna Delvey Bunny Photoshoot Controversy Explained
Last week, Anna 'Delvey' Sorokin shared a series of now-viral photos from an outdoor shoot with live bunnies. Anna — who was found guilty in 2019 of multiple fraud charges, including second-degree grand larceny and theft of services, after pretending to be a wealthy German heiress — held the two rabbits on a leash as she posed around New York and flaunted her ankle monitor. This sparked a heap of backlash under Anna's post, with several internet users calling her out for using the animals as 'photo props' and allegedly 'dumping' them right afterwards. Now, Anna has addressed the uproar in a lengthy Instagram statement. 'As many of you are aware, I recently did a shoot with Jasper Soloff involving live rabbits. Christian Batty, a member of the hair team I briefly met during a fashion week event last year, responded that he knew someone who could lend us bunnies for a few hours,' she wrote. 'I later discovered that, instead of borrowing animals from a legitimate source like he claimed, he had obtained them via Facebook Marketplace and intended to release them into Prospect Park, a plan of which I had no knowledge. The idea that someone would compromise the well-being of innocent animals for personal networking opportunities is deeply disturbing to me,' Anna claimed. Anna later shared a series of alleged screenshots of texts between herself, Christian, Jasper, and publicist Kelly Cutrone. In the alleged messages, Jasper appeared to ask Christian if the rabbits they used were the same animals that were abandoned, to which Christian seemingly admitted that he had 'dumped' the bunnies. 'I was panicking with bunnies. That's the reason I dumped them,' he allegedly wrote after claiming that the original owners of the rabbits had 'blocked' him when he attempted to contact them to return them after the shoot. We'll keep you posted if anything else unfolds. Let us know what you think in the comments.
