Why Taylor Swift's Surprise Song Choices Have Swifties Thinking She'll Re-Release Reputation And Her Debut Album At The Same Time

As a long-time Swiftie who’s been following Taylor’s career since her humble beginnings, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation every time a new theory about her upcoming projects surfaces. The idea of a joint release for “Reputation” and her self-titled debut has me on the edge of my seat!


Following the highly acclaimed and record-breaking launch of “Tortured Poets Department” in April, there’s been a lull in new music from Taylor Swift. Yet, her fans haven’t let this silence dampen their enthusiasm, instead they’ve been speculating about her upcoming projects and hunting for hints, as they eagerly anticipate the re-recorded versions of “Reputation” and her self-titled debut album. Now, Swifties believe these releases might come out simultaneously, taking her recent surprise song choices as a potential sign.

For those not in the know, Taylor Swift is remaking her earlier studio albums since she didn’t own the rights to her music before 2019. So far, she has re-recorded all but two of her albums, and these new versions often feature unheard songs. Swift fans have been eagerly waiting for the releases of “Reputation” and “Taylor Swift,” and there’s speculation that they might come out together due to Taylor singing medleys of tracks from both albums during the secret song segment of her Eras Tour.

The idea for this theory took shape when she combined “Should’ve Said No,” a track off her initial album, with “I Did Something Bad,” from her “Reputation” album, during her Miami concert on her second night. Here’s a link to a clip of the performance by X:

It’s possible that the medley contained tracks from albums Taylor Swift hasn’t remastered yet was merely a coincidence, but it sparked fan speculation about whether it might hint at something more significant.

Fans of Taylor Swift began examining the hand gestures she made during the song “22,” where she seemed to display “two fives.” This happened while she was wearing a shirt that said “This is not Taylor’s Version.” One fan speculated that this could imply that both albums might be released on her birthday, December 13th. Here’s the fan’s interpretation from X:

Last night in New Orleans, Swift’s unexpected combination of her debut single “Our Song” with “Call It What You Want” from Reputation attracted more followers to her seemingly unlikely prediction. This performance reminded many of her second Madrid show where she performed a song from each album during an impromptu set.

One fan on X felt like this should make Swifties suspicious:

Things are building quite a buzz and playful speculation regarding the imminent release of both REP and Debut albums by Swift. Some fans have coined this idea as “Debutation,” combining the two titles to reflect the way Swift blends her songs. A fan on platform X expressed their enthusiasm:

As a gamer, I can’t help but notice how the character in snakeskin cowboy duds has become the emblem of this dual-release concept. Fans on X are buzzing with excitement, ready to cheer on Taylor Swift’s country heritage, and the snake motif that echoes her 2017 pop album.

Regardless if you agree with this concept or not, it’s an intriguing notion. Despite the contrasting styles and themes between the two albums, Swift has demonstrated through these remixes that a unique magic arises when they blend together.

On one side, it seems enticing to unveil distinct album launches, allowing each phase of the Grammy-winning artist’s career its own special moments. Yet, on the other hand, a joint release might convey another aspect about Taylor Swift’s journey, illustrating how her evolution as a musician is encapsulated by both albums.

We’ll need to observe how she manages her last “Taylor’s Version” releases; regardless of the outcome, fans are eagerly anticipating with great excitement.

While waiting for my chance to catch Taylor Swift’s latest tour live, I’m diving into her past iconic performances through the magical screen of my TV, thanks to “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” – available now on Disney+ and streaming right at my fingertips!
