What Fans Guess about TS12
Rana Atef During the past few hours, a lot of talk can be heard about TS12. Many media reports indicated that Swift shot a new music video for her new era. Swifties, gather round. If your notifications have been blowing up with words like 'TS12,' 'leak,' and 'deleted video,' you're not alone. The fandom may have just been gifted the biggest hint yet that Taylor Swift's 12th studio album is on the way — and, in true Taylor fashion, it didn't come in the form of a direct announcement. It came from a casually dropped comment in a Swedish interview, a fast-deleted post, and a pile of cryptic details Swifties have been decoding for months. The Leak Heard Around the Swiftie World: A Swedish Producer Says They're 'Finishing Taylor Swift's Album' In an April 2025 interview with Universal Music Sweden, producer Jacob Criborn — one half of the DJ duo Nause — sat down to discuss his new remix 'Canelloni Macaroni' and casually mentioned working with composer Erik Arvinder (known for his arrangements with Coldplay, Avicii, and Zara Larsson). What fans noticed wasn't the remix. It was this sentence: 'Vi ska bara göra klart Taylor Swift's platta.' (Translation: 'We're just finishing Taylor Swift's album.') If Jacob is right, and Arvinder is helping complete a full Taylor Swift album, that means Taylor is not just re-recording — she's crafting a brand new body of work. This would officially be TS12, the long-awaited follow-up to Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department. Universal Music Sweden deleted the interview. Which, as any seasoned Swiftie knows, is basically a neon sign that says: Something big is coming. Let's be honest. We didn't need a leak to know something was up. Swifties have been piecing together cryptic signs for months now, and many of them point to — you guessed it — album number 12. Here are some of the most convincing Easter eggs: 1. 12 D's in 'GODDDDDDDDDDDD' Back in March, Taylor posted an Instagram Story praising Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's album I Said I Loved You First, writing: 'I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD.' There were exactly 12 D's. Not 10. Not 13. Twelve. That's not a typo — that's Taylor math. 2. Twelve Red Stones at the Grammys During the 2025 Grammy Awards, Taylor wore a stunning pair of earrings — each adorned with 12 ruby-red gems. Could it have been a nod to her 12th album? Fans certainly think so. 3. The Letter 'Thiiiiiiiiiiiis' Had... 12 I's In her 2023 letter reclaiming her masters, Taylor wrote the word 'this' with 12 I's: 'Thiiiiiiiiiiiis is what happens when you do it yourself.' Yes. Fans counted. Yes. It was intentional. 4. New Visual Branding Hints? The letter also featured a new art-deco style 'TS' logo — totally different from Midnights or TTPD. Many believe it could be early TS12 branding hiding in plain sight. So… If TS12 Is Real, What Will It Sound Like? Right now, there's no confirmed title, artwork, or lead single — but based on the producers involved and the string/horn arrangements Erik Arvinder is known for, fans are expecting: A cinematic, orchestral pop sound, blending Taylor's storytelling roots with live instrumentation. Possible emotional continuity from TTPD — but with a more luminous or nostalgic tone. A return to her 'Lover'/'Folklore' lyricism, but with grander sonic ambition. There's also speculation that TS12 might be her most personal album yet — think All Too Well meets Long Live energy, but fully grown up and unapologetically bold. 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 Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"

New Taylor Swift era incoming? Leaked update shakes up Reputation (TV) timeline
Taylor Swift may drop a new album before Reputation (Taylor's Version), according to a recent studio update. In a now-deleted video posted by Universal Music Sweden, producer Jacob Criborn stated, 'We're just finishing Taylor Swift's album,' referencing work with Swedish conductor Erik Arvinder. Known for collaborations with Harry Styles and Lady Gaga, Arvinder has not been involved in Swift's re-recordings to date—fueling speculation that this is fresh material, not a reimagined release. Swift has been steadily re-releasing her earlier albums to reclaim ownership of her masters. So far, she has released Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), and 1989 (Taylor's Version). Fans have been eagerly awaiting re-recordings of Reputation and her self-titled debut. However, Swift has a history of surprise releases, such as Folklore and Evermore, and this new collaboration aligns with that unpredictable creative spirit. Adding further intrigue, Swift's personal life—especially her high-profile relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce—continues to attract attention. Some speculate that these experiences may inspire her next album's themes. While Swift has yet to confirm an official release date, this latest studio revelation suggests that both Reputation (Taylor's Version) and a brand-new project could be on the horizon, exciting fans and music insiders alike.

Taylor Swift Is Reportedly Already Working On New Music
A Swedish producer may have accidentally revealed that Taylor Swift is finishing her next album, ... More though what kind of album isn't exactly clear. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 04: Taylor Swift attends the 66th GRAMMY Awards at Arena on February 04, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor The Recording Academy) Taylor Swift is always hard at work on new music, no matter what else she has going on at the moment. The singer-songwriter is certainly gearing up for her next major musical chapter, and work on another collection of some kind seems to have already started – at least, if a recent comment from a Swedish DJ is to be believed. In a new interview originally posted by Universal Music Sweden, Jacob Criborn, one-half of the production duo Nause, appeared to casually reveal that he's been involved in Swift's latest recording efforts. While discussing recent collaborations, Criborn mentioned working with multi-instrumentalist Erik Arvinder on a composition featuring a wide range of sounds, including both string and wind instruments. Then, almost as an aside, he added in his language, "Vi ska bara göra klart Taylor Swift's platta." For those who don't speak Swedish, that reportedly translates to, "We're just finishing Taylor Swift's album." The quote was quickly flagged by fans on social media, as nothing connected to the superstar misses her eagle-eyed following. The X account TSUpdating – one of many fan-focused profiles on the site – shared the clip, turning it into a trending topic in no time. It's unclear whether Criborn was referring to a full-length collection of brand new songs or if he might be contributing to one of Swift's forthcoming re-releases. At this point, she still has two left to unveil: her self-titled debut and Reputation. Swift hasn't officially announced anything yet, and her team is staying quiet. That's typically the case. She has no need to confirm or deny anything until she's ready to roll out another masterful marketing plan – but even the possibility of new material is enough to send fans into a frenzy. It's only been about a year since Swift released her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's taking a break. That set, which debuted to massive first-week numbers, appears to have largely wrapped up its promotional cycle. None of its singles are still charting in the U.S., though the project itself continues to do well. If Criborn's comment turns out to be accurate, this could be the earliest confirmation yet that Swift is already deep into her next phase. Of course, the phrase 'finishing Taylor Swift's album' could mean a lot of things — especially in an industry where timelines are always shifting. Whether it's a new studio album, another Taylor's Version, or even just a cut for a separate soundtrack or feature, fans are, of course, excited to hear whatever it may be.
