Rumors have been buzzing over a secret scrapped album Taylor Swift allegedly recorded in 2016
amid her feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and now, fans think all-new clues are
pointing toward an album release and VERY soon!
Let’s get into it.
Amid the speculation surrounding which of Taylor’s previously recorded masters she’ll
be re-releasing next, Swifties have now set their sights on a new theory surrounding an
album Taylor is said to have recorded and scrapped back in 2016.
“SO MUCH IS HAPPENING”
And by now, any true Taylor fan knows that the work never ends when it comes to decoding
Easter eggs she may have left behind in her latest social media posts, music video or
musical announcement.
“WHERE ARE THE CLUES” That said, TikTok user @TheThriftySwiftie
wrangled together some hard-hitting evidence that suggests we may finally get the alleged
scrapped album Taylor apparently planned to release amid her infamous 2016 feud with Kanye
West and Kim Kardashian when Kim secretly recorded their phone conversation.
These theories tie into the age-old speculation that Taylor’s sixth studio album was supposed
to be named Karma and contain a pop-rock vibe to tie in her edgy bleached hair which she
debuted just prior to the start of her reputation era.
Let’s think about it mathematically for a sec shall we?: Every two years between 2006
and 2014, Taylor would release a new album, all while debuting a brand new style and hair
do, to mark the start of a brand new era.
With her breakout pop album 1989 dropping in October of 2014, many were convinced that
2016 would be the year of yet another release…
“Wrong.”
Taylor was hit with a major public dispute between Kim and Ye over the lyrics to his
single “Famous”, which caused her to go into complete hiding for a year… and skip
out on an album release altogether.
The Thrifty Swiftie pointed out multiple different clues that lead to a secret unreleased album,
starting with the scene in her “Look What You Made Me Do” music video, where Taylor
saws off the wings of an airplane with “TS6” written on it.
Taylor spray-painting the plane with the word “reputation” could mean that she had to
completely rewrite her reputation with a new record and scrap the previous one.
The word “karma” has also been at play for years since the album was meant to be
released…
The Thrifty Swiftie also pointed out that during Taylor’s 73 Questions With Vogue
interview, when asked what she thought “the most important life lesson for someone to
learn”, she had this to say:
“…That Karma is real.”
And not only that, but the “K” in karma was capitalized, signifying the title of something…
“We’re definitely onto something here.”
One of the biggest Easter eggs surrounding the Karma theory occurs in the music video
for Taylor’s single “The Man” off of her 2019 Lover album.
The graffiti wall in one scene is extremely telling as TikTok users believe the names
of her albums signify a clock with Fearless then Red and ultimately Speak Now being next
for release.
Karma sits at the top in orange spray paint, which represents 12:00, as many believe will
be the last of her album releases.
And if you want to get real granular with it, Karma also takes up the space on the wall
between 1989 and Reputation, with a notable “missing” sign placed between the two
back-to-back albums!!
“Oh god, my brain hurts.
Somebody help me.”
You still with me?
And going back to “Look What You Made Me Do”, the orange graffiti may also have significance,
as Taylor sings the verse, “All I think about is karma” while wearing orange, which
has led fans to believe that orange was the original color scheme of Karma.
“SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?”
Fans are convinced that the cage in which Taylor swings in while wearing the orange
suit is made to represent the album being stuck while reputation demanded attention
during that time.
Honestly, anyone else's brain about to explode??
There are many more clues that lead to this theory, but we’re gonna need to lie down
after this one…. which Swifties are convinced will be released some time near the end of
this year… in the meantime, Swifties, the hunt is still on!

Then be sure to let me know all your thoughts on Karma down in the comments, and if you
think Taylor could be releasing new music any day now.
