Fans have long been waiting for an update on Taylor Swift’s new studio album, but to no avail so far. The 14-time Grammy winner released her latest set, titled The Tortured Poets Department, in 2024 and has continued to maintain radio silence over her future projects ever since. However, Taylor Swift admirers have seemingly spotted several easter eggs about her yet-to-be-confirmed 12th album in her recent activities.
So, here’s everything you need to know regarding the speculations about the pop icon’s next record.
Here’s why fans think Taylor Swift will release new album soon
At the time of writing, the “Blank Space” singer has yet to share any official word regarding her next album. She is instead taking a break following the conclusion of her immensely successful but prolonged Eras Tour.
Regardless, speculations concerning Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album continue to run wild. Eagle-eyed fans of the artist have cleverly pointed out the excessive occurrence of the number 12 in her recent posts and outings. Swift notably used 12 capital ‘Ds’ in the caption she posted on her Instagram stories to highlight Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s latest collaboration.
Additionally, Swift sported a pair of earrings with 12 rubies etched on them to the 2025 Grammy Awards. Fans believe that by doing so, she was possibly dropping a hint for her next album. Lastly, an image of the pop sensation visiting a stadium has gone viral due to the presence of a banner with ‘A12’ written on it. These observations were shared social media influencer Olivia Levin, who runs the popular Instagram fanpage @swiftiesforeternity.
Such speculations do not necessarily indicate anything about Taylor Swift’s 12th studio record. However, a source mentioned to Us Weekly in December 2024 that the singer could soon start working “on a new album” while also considering “hitting the road again — albeit on a smaller scale than the Eras Tour — in 2026.” Nevertheless, without any official announcement from Swift herself, fans continue to wait for an encouraging update regarding her upcoming works.
