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

'Young Sheldon' Star's 'Hauntingly Beautiful' Taylor Swift Cover Shocks Fans
Young Sheldon alum Mckenna Grace's "hauntingly beautiful" take on an emotional track has left fans in shock. The 18-year-old recently posted a cover of the Eras Tour superstar's "Nothing New," one of the vault tracks released with her rerecorded version of Red. It details the worries of a young woman in the age and appearance-obsessed entertainment industry, calling out the hypocrisy Swift faced as a teenager in the spotlight. The same track was recently covered by the artist known as Role Model—his performance drew mixed reactions from Swifties, who demanded to know, "what does a man know about" this? Grace's cover, however, drew high praise from fans. "Uh oh we have a double threat over here 😌," one wrote of the actress, while someone else predicted her casting in a highly anticipated—though currently postponed—live-action Disney remake. "She will play Rapunzel mark my words," they declared. "Oh wow that's actually a hauntingly beautiful cover," another Swiftie admitted, while another newcomer to Grace's talent replied, "beautiful voice, I loved it 😍." Many were unfamiliar with the former child star, with one wondering, "Who is this diva?" and another suggesting, "I might have to stan," after hearing the cover. Meanwhile, those who've seen her in countless of their favorite shows and movies over the years, from Once Upon a Time's Young Emma to Amazon's Troop Zero, quipped, "imagine not knowing her." Fans of the up-and-coming singer encouraged those unfamiliar with her to "go check her music too," emphasizing, "shes really talented 😁." "Her own music is so good, too!" another fan agreed. "Y'all should check it out." Grace's debut album, Bittersweet 16, was released in 2023. She also has several singles and and the Autumn Leaves EP under her belt.

Taylor Swift Fans Reveal Mixed Reactions to Her Major Career News
Taylor Swift Fans Reveal Mixed Reactions to Her Major Career News originally appeared on Parade. Taylor Swift's Reputation is on the line as some fans are confused and others are frustrated following the announcement that she's purchased the rights to her master recordings. Reputation (Taylor's Version) or Rep TV, the re-recording of the iconic album that fans had been promised amid delays, is no longer happening. Swift really doesn't need to record the final two albums from the six whose masters she previously did not own because now she's in control of (and earning royalties from) her full catalog. This is good for Swift, who revealed why Reputation TV still wasn't done. Most Swifties are really excited about the news. After all, it's a massive win for Swift, who famously feuded with Scooter Braun when he purchased the rights to Swift's first six albums in 2019 for $300 million. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Her most dedicated fans faithfully streamed Taylor's Version of each album as she rerecorded them, putting her back on the pop charts with each release. But now, what do they do when there are original and TV versions of four albums out there? And how do they cope with the cancellation of Rep TV, which some fans were (not literally) dying to get their hands on? That's on a lot of fans' minds as they took to X to discuss Swift's acquisition and what comes next. Responding to the news on X, one commenter asked, "so basically all those rerecordings were cash grabs?" Another sadly wrote, "we are never getting REPUTATION😭" "WHICH VERSIONS OF THE SONGS DO I LISTEN TO NOW THO? WHAT SONGS DO I ADD TO PLAYLISTS????? IM SO CONFLICTED," another Swiftie questioned. Not everyone was upset, however. One Swiftie said, "Literally, what a perfect poetic way to wrap up the masters, Taylor's Versions, and Eras era." Overall, the response has been positive and in celebration, one fan is "listening to taylor swift (the reclaimed version) and then allll the way through every single song that she now owns." This will take a while.

Here's Why Fans Think Taylor Swift Just Teased Her Next Album After Buying Her Masters
On Friday (May 30), Taylor Swift both announced that she has finally acquired the masters to her first six albums and gave an update on the long-awaited Reputation re-record — but fans suspect that, to top it all off, she also subtly teased her 12th album. In a letter posted to her website, the pop star revealed that she finally has control over her entire body of work after purchasing back her masters from Shamrock Capital (for somewhere around $360 million, sources tell Billboard). The sale comes six years after Scooter Braun acquired her catalog from Scott Borchetta in 2019, after which the music manager sold his ownership of Swift's music to Shamrock in late 2020.

Taylor Swift breaks cover for NYC dinner with A-lister pal at her go-to spot
Welcome BACK to New York! Taylor Swift came out of hiding for a delicious dinner out in New York City Thursday night. The 'Cruel Summer' singer was spotted rocking up to her go-to Italian restaurant, Via Carota, in the West Village, according to videos circulating online. Swift was joined by Dakota Johnson as well as her brother, Austin Swift, and the '50 Shades of Grey' actress' brother, Jesse Johnson. Taylor, 35, wore a black floral dress cinched at the waist with a chain and leather belt, and she accessorized with strappy black stilettos and a pendant necklace. The pop star wore her signature red lip and had her hair pulled back in a high ponytail. Taylor appeared to be in high spirits and smiled as onlookers' jaws dropped in shock. 'Best night of my life,' one Swiftie who was dining at the renowned eatery captioned a video of Taylor's visit. BUY NOW $298.00 New York Post receives revenue from affiliate and advertising partnerships for sharing this content and when you make a purchase. Taylor seemingly walked in with just her security guard and later in the evening, she was seen surrounded by fans taking photos as she exited the venue and hopped into a black SUV. The Grammy winner has dined at the beloved trattoria on several occasions, including shortly after her breakup from Joe Alwyn in March 2023. At the time, she ate pasta with Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley. That September, she and Sophie Turner hit the hotspot right after news surfaced that the 'Game of Thrones' star and Joe Jonas were divorcing. Taylor's return to the Big Apple dining scene comes amid her months-long retreat from the spotlight. Last week, she and boyfriend Travis Kelce popped up at Harry's in West Palm Beach, Fla., for a $400 meal. They also resurfaced to celebrate Mother's Day with Kelce's family in Philadelphia earlier this month. She and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 35, have both been staying under the radar after his Super Bowl 2025 loss in February and the wrapping of her Eras Tour in December. Taylor has also been quiet amid her unfolding drama with Blake Lively, who dragged her into her contentious legal battle with Justin Baldoni. 'This is such a nice escape for them to finally be able to stay out of the limelight for a bit before they eventually have to get out in the public eye again due to their careers,' a source exclusively told Page Six in April. 'They really cherish this time while they can because they know it can't last forever.' Kelce has been renting a $20 million mansion in Florida's Boca Raton area as he trains for the upcoming NFL season.
