Beyoncé won Best Female Country Artist, reflecting her genre-crossing success with Cowboy Carter .
Despite being nominated for six awards, Taylor Swift did not attend the ceremony and did not win any awards . Although, her fans made heavy speculations about the possibility of announcing her Taylor Versions for Reputation and her debut album.
Earlier in March, during the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Swift accepted the "Tour of the Century" award via a pre-recorded message.
In the video, she wore a snake necklace, a symbol heavily associated with her Reputation era, leading fans to believe she was hinting at the upcoming re-recording .
Furthermore, the part about Reputation in the Eras Tour book started at page 62 and Reputation is Swift's fifth album. So, with the mirrorball effect, 26/5 should be the date of announcing Reputation TV.
While no official announcement has been made, the combination of symbolic gestures and legal movements suggests that Reputation (Taylor's Version) may be on the horizon.

Here's Why Fans Think Taylor Swift Just Dropped a Major Hint about Her Next Album
Yara Sameh On Friday, Taylor Swift announced in a letter on her website that she has finally acquired the masters to her first six albums gave an update on the long-awaited "Reputation" re-record — but fans believe that, to top it all off, she also subtly teased her 12th album. In her announcement, the pop star revealed that she finally has regained ownership of her master recordings from Shamrock Capital, the private equity firm that purchased them from Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings in late 2020. According to sources, Shamrock sold Swift's catalog back to her for an amount relatively close to what they paid for it — which sources tell Billboard was around $360 million. 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow,' Swift wrote in her message, emphasizing how meaningful the acquisition is to her. '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.' But what caught fans' eye was what the 14-time Grammy winner wrote next. 'All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.' The statement may seem innocuous — and for all Swifties know, it is — but it's hard not to focus on the fact that she included no less than 12 'i's when writing out the word 'thiiiiiiiiiiiis.' Swift has released 11 albums in her career, the last of which, "The Tortured Poets Department", arrived in April 2023. That would make her next LP her 12th, a fact that has fans thinking she just teased the upcoming project with her note. 'THE LETTER HAS 12 I's TS12 IS COMING SOON TOO OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR TAYLOR,' one fan wrote on X , sharing a screenshot of the letter. 'IT'S A TS12 SUMMER!!!' another fan posted, while a third Swiftie shared a screenshot of the letter and wrote, 'I feel like ts12 just got so much closer.' The 12-count 'i' situation is just the latest suspected clue fans have picked up on ahead of the 'Fortnight' singer's predicted 12th album. Much fanfare was also made when Swift attended the 2025 Grammys wearing earrings with exactly 12 red jewels apiece, and in March, she used a sequence of 12 'D's when praising Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's I Said I Love You First album on Instagram. 'I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD,' Swift wrote on her Story at the time. Sharing screenshots of the earrings, the Gomez-Blanco post and the letter about her masters, one Swiftie wrote Friday, 'SUDDENLY LIFE IS WORTH LIVING TS12 TRUTHERS RISE.' But while fans may be excited about the prospect of Swift's 12th album coming soon, it's just one of many things they are celebrating. Social media has seen an outpouring of Swifties rejoicing over the musician finally owning her life's work, something she wrote in her letter is her 'greatest dream come true.' The sale comes six years of publicly feuding with Borchetta and Braun over the way the original sale was handled, as well as the re-releases of four of her first six albums: "Fearless", "Speak Now", "Red", and "1989". In her letter, Swift emphasized how thankful she was to fans for sticking with her every step of the way. 'You'll never know how much it means to me that you cared,' she wrote. 'Every single bit of it counted and ended us up here. Thanks to you and your goodwill, teamwork and encouragement, the best things that have ever been mine… finally actually are.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Taylor Swift Buys Back Master Recordings
Rana Atef On Friday, Taylor Swift announced that she bought back the rights to her first six albums, ending a long-running battle over the ownership of her music. She announced the news on her official website. She posted: "All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me," adding, "I've been bursting into tears of joy... ever since I found out this is really happening." In June 2019, Swift's manager Scooter Braun bought Swift's former record label Big Machine and, with it, all of the songs from Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989 and Reputation. Swift had personal objections to the deal, blaming Braun for complicity in the "incessant, manipulative bullying" against her by Kanye West, one of his clients. Therefore, she re-recorded her previous albums to control their rights. She recorded and released 4 of the 6 albums: Fearless, Red, 1987, and Speak Now. Swift continued in her statements: "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it," she added, thanking fans for their support. "I can't thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now. "I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away," she described. "But that's all in the past now." read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
