Swifties are at it again digging up even MORE evidence to prove that all signs point to
Speak Now being the next re-recorded album Taylor will release next!
We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s get into it!
Since the release of Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) album back in November,
fans have gone straight to work in hopes of cracking the case in what would be her next
album re-release.
“Research.”
Many theories that have surfaced suggest that both 1989 and Speak Now are next to be released,
some of which stem from Taylor’s social media posts, as well as her latest music video
for “I Bet You Think About Me”.
We covered all that speculation and more last month, so we’ll go ahead and link the video
above.
But over the past few weeks, even more evidence has surfaced, proving that 2010’s Speak
Now is the clear front-runner, all starting with Taylor’s latest accolade in which she
was named official “ambassador” for Record Store Day 2022, which falls on April 23rd
of this year.
Many fans have since shared theories on TikTok surrounding the logo, like this user, who
pointed out that there are two red stars and 13 purple stars, representing both Red and
Speak Now’s theme colors, and that Speak Now in one of its themes of romance could
drop the day before Valentine’s Day.
“On Valentine’s Day?”
“The way I’m seeing it is as a date: 2/13.
And the red stars signify the ending of the Red era and moving into Speak Now.”
Another user pointed out that Speak Now contained both purple and red colors, in which the red
album cover was released as a deluxe edition exclusively by Target, so these colors don’t
appear to be coincidental.
One major clue that this user pointed out was shared to TikTok and featured photos of
a shoot going on inside a Nashville home with some comments agreeing that it appeared as
though a wedding was being filmed… annnnd we know all too well where exactly the song
“Speak Now” was set.
Since then, the original poster of the tweet did reveal that this was nothing more than
a commercial for a lodging company, buuuut it does seem like the type of sorcery Taylor
would attempt to use to steer fans away.
Over the past few weeks, popular T-Swift news update account “The All Knower” has been
sharing passwords in order to unlock the chapters of Red (Taylor’s Version).
One fan explained that the first letters of each chapter so far are S, N and T, so if
the next one happens to be V, then this would align perfectly with the first letters of
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
Other TikTok compilations have made their way around the social media app, as one user
pointed out a slew of other potential Easter eggs.
Amid the release of Red (Taylor’s Version), many were quick to notice that she dropped
subtle hints in the form of her Speak Now songs, “Mine” and “Ours”.
She’s also worn purple on multiple occasions, including a TikTok video, as well as the premiere
for the “All Too Well” short film.
But as we all know by now, any move Taylor makes is bound to become picked apart and
examined, so when she responded to the damaging claims about her songwriting made by Damon
Albarn earlier this week, Swifties went straight to work.
It seems some were quick to assume that her and Damon’s public exchange was perfectly
setting the stage as a crafty PR stunt for the release of Speak Now.
One user tweeted, “Me trying to think this is just PR for her to drop Speak Now (TV),
a whole self-written album (besides 1 co-writer on the deluxe album)… but also her response
shows how real this is.”
Another person wrote, “If there was any doubt in my mind that Speak Now vault tracks
would be with a co-writer, there is no more.
She's gonna come for blood.
Solo.”
While we have to agree that Tay’s response does seem a tad too real to be for publicity,
with her, truly anything is possible!
“Anything is possible!”
