August 9th 2023.
Taylor Swift has always been a master of the cryptic clue and she's been teasing her fans more than ever that something major is about to drop. Swifties think it’s 1989 TV, and their suspicions have been bolstered by a bunch of hints from Taylor.
From flashing bracelets, to new outfits, to a promotional picture, fans are convinced that tonight is the night for a huge announcement. August 9, 2023 marks the final night of the first leg of the Eras Tour, which will wrap up with star-studded shows in Los Angeles.
So far, Taylor has re-recorded her albums Fearless, Red and Speak Now with ‘Taylor’s Version’ in the title, as she attempts to reclaim the masters from her old label. But why do fans think that 1989 TV is next?
The SoFi Stadium has given a pretty big clue - they tweeted a picture of a lifeguard’s hut with 1989 Taylor’s Version written on it. Plus, the light-up bracelets that are handed out at each gig have been flashing blue, and the colour blue represents 1989.
The Karma music video also featured Taylor’s nails painted blue and black, with the blue one next to the eight on a clock face - hinting at an August release. This was further corroborated by the five lightbulbs featured in the video, which represent her fifth album, Reputation.
Taylor’s background on the Eras Tour also had 1989 written in the album’s font. She also wore a glittery blue bodysuit for her Midnights section, which had a strong resemblance to the outfit she wore during her 1989 tour.
So why tonight for the 1989 TV announcement? It’s the perfect way to wrap up the first US leg of the Eras Tour, with a new album full of vault tracks. Plus, it’s 8/9 - eight years, nine months and thirteen days since the original 1989 release date.
We know it sounds crazy, but we’re expecting a major Swiftquake at the SoFi Stadium tonight. Whatever the announcement is, we can’t wait to find out!
