Taylor Swift was reportedly spotted filming a secret music video in Los Angeles, which fueled speculation about her 12th studio album release on social media. The Grammy winner’s project was so secretive that set staff weren’t allowed to hear the song, the reports stated.
Fans have been anticipating new music since Swift’s last album, The Tortured Poets Department, dropped in April 2024. After dropping several Easter eggs, it seems like the pop sensation is finally getting closer to announcing the details of the much-anticipated project.
Taylor Swift might be shooting for a new song
According to The U.S. Sun, Taylor Swift was busy shooting a music video in L.A. on Thursday, July 24. The exclusive report quoted an insider who claimed that the singer only allowed the staff to listen to the song’s beat while filming the video.
The source also added, “Even though she’s been taking time off from touring and working a lot to spend time with Travis, there are still projects she’s working on, which will no doubt please fans.”
Meanwhile, fans think the singer has been consistently hinting at her 12th album drop for several months. After buying back her masters, the pop superstar penned a heartfelt letter to her fans, gushing over how all of her music finally “belongs” to her now. In the letter, fans noticed the 12 “I”s as she wrote, “I was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close.”
On another occasion, Swifties could not miss the 12 “D”s in an Instagram story when the “Down Bad” crooner celebrated Selena Gomez’s new collaboration album with fiancé Benny Blanco, I Said I Loved You First. She wrote, “[Selena Gomez] & [Benny Blanco] I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD.”
Longtime Swifties do not think the singer’s usage of particular letters twelve times is a coincidence. Furthermore, the singer has already shared an update regarding the release of her re-recorded projects. Fans who were anticipating the drop of Reputation (Taylor’s Version) and the debut album’s re-recording might need to wait a bit longer.
Hence, it is highly likely that Swift’s 12th album will see the light of day before any other re-recordings. For now, there are several theories regarding the theme of her upcoming release. Some fans think the upcoming album could bring back the nostalgia of her 1989 era with heavy seashore themes.
