When will Taylor Swift release Rep TV? Singer makes shocking announcement
Taylor Swift issued an emotional letter to her fans on Friday, revealing she bought back her entire masters. In the lengthy note shared on her website, the 35-year-old seemingly revealed the fate of Reputation (Taylor's Version).
'I know, I know. What about Rep TV?' Swift wrote in her letter, finally addressing the highly anticipated release of the re-recorded version of her 2017 album.
'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it,' she went on before explaining how Reputation was 'so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping when I tried to remake it.'
'All that defiance, that longing to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief,' Swift continued.
The Cruel Summer hitmaker made an 'honest' confession that Reputation is the 'one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it.' 'Not the music, or photos, or videos. So I kept putting it off,' she shared.
Although Swift hinted at the possibility of never releasing Rep TV, she assured her fans that 'there will be a time (if you're into the idea) for the unreleased Vault tracks from that album to hatch.'
Swift began re-recording her music to reclaim ownership after her first six albums were sold by Big Machine Recordings. So far, the Shake It Off crooner has released the Taylor's Version of four albums: Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989.
In her heartfelt letter, the Midnights singer also addressed her debut album, Taylor Swift, which was released in 2006. 'I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now,' she wrote.
'Those 2 albums [Reputation and Taylor Swift] can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about,' Swift went on to say.
'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now,' the I Knew You Were Trouble songstress explained.

"Queens supporting queens": Fans go wild as Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spotted having intense heart-to-heart during cozy dinner night out in NYC
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez's late-night NYC dinner fuels fans' curiosity (Getty Images) On a breezy Saturday evening in New York City, longtime friends and music icons Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were seen enjoying a cozy dinner at the Monkey Bar. The duo, known for their unshakable bond, sparked a wave of online excitement when a candid snapshot of their reunion surfaced via gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi. With no sign of their significant others — Travis Kelce in Kansas City for the Big Slick charity show and Benny Blanco apparently away — it was a rare and intimate moment shared between two of the most influential women in pop culture. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spark buzz with deep dinner chat during surprise reunion in Manhattan In the photo that's now making the rounds on social media, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are captured in what seems to be an intense and heartfelt exchange. Swift, dressed in a sleek black tank top trimmed with silver sequins, looks visibly surprised — a reaction that fans are already speculating about. Opposite her, Gomez sits in a booth wearing a dark scoop-neck shirt layered with a jacket featuring wide lapels. Her hair is pulled back into a polished bun, and her gold hoop earrings add a soft touch of elegance. Though simple in setting, the image has stirred major buzz, and for good reason. This meet-up wasn't just a social catch-up — it came on the heels of a massive personal victory for Swift. Just days earlier, she revealed that she had officially acquired the rights to her master recordings, marking the end of a years-long struggle with Big Machine Records, Scooter Braun, and later, Shamrock Capital. The battle had defined much of her recent career narrative, but now, it's finally resolved. In an emotional message to her fans, Swift wrote, 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. As a flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now.' The moment didn't go unnoticed by Gomez. Sharing Swift's post on her Instagram Story, she offered a proud nod of support, writing, 'Yes you did that Tay! So proud.' It's the kind of sincere and public show of friendship that fans have come to expect from this power duo. Having met back in 2008 when both were dating the Jonas Brothers — Swift with Joe, Gomez with Nick — their friendship has since matured into something far deeper than mere celebrity camaraderie. Through breakups, professional pivots, health battles, and monumental career shifts, Swift and Gomez have consistently been each other's pillars of support. Today, with Swift navigating her high-profile romance with NFL star Travis Kelce and Gomez engaged to producer Benny Blanco, the two remain just as tight-knit. Though Swift has kept a relatively low profile in 2025 following her blockbuster Eras Tour, recent sightings — including this dinner with Gomez — suggest she may be ready to step back into the spotlight. There are even whispers of new music on the horizon. Whatever comes next, one thing remains clear: this friendship, forged in their teenage years and tested over time, continues to shine brighter with every passing year.
