Thank you for reading this far. These are just my late-night thoughts that I finally typed out just for fun. Whatever Taylor wants to do and when will be deeply appreciated. 🫶🏼

Overall, I hope the youngest, timeless, prolific lyricism of Taylor Swift’s career will finally receive its flowers once Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) makes its grand debut. 💚💐

I'm imagining Taylor proudly returning to her roots for this re-record, with collaborative vault tracks that feature several county music legends: Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and Tim McGraw. youtu.be/iQhuRbiK90c?...

October is historically Taylor’s favorite month to release albums. The original Taylor Swift album debuted on October 24, 2006. I just don't see Taylor allowing the stolen version to reach another birthday, as this might be a date she would want to release a new variant.

Two months of promo and pre-sale places us in early October 2025.

10/3: 10+3=13

Also, the second half of the calendar year doesn't have other Fridays that play off of the cute 13 dates.

❌ 8/5: 8+5=13, but just over a month
✅ 8/7: Mary’s Song (Oh, My, My, My) lyric reference to 87 (would've pointed this out regardless of her boyfriend’s jersey number)
❌ 8/9: already associated with 1989 (TV)
❌ 8/13: 13, yes, but too close to 8/16

💚 Moving on to Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version):

If the (TV) trademark has to be activated via pre-sale by August 16, 2025, then that means it will likely be announced a month after Rep (TV).

💛 In 2021, Fearless (TV) was announced Feb. 11 (2+11=13) and April 9 (4+9=13)

♥️ *Red (TV) didn't have any obvious number or date patterns, but she definitely rolled out the ~red~ carpet for her favorite child album during the entire autumn season of 2021.

She's followed this back-to-back album release pattern before in 2023.

💜 Speak Now (TV) was announced May 5 (5/5) and released July 7 (7/7).

🩵 1989 (TV) was announced August 9 (8/9) and released October 27, the same date as the original in 2014.

There’s already a lot going on at the moment in this pic: The hard launch of her American boyfriend with the British Royal family. Also, this may be nothing, but considering how few personal posts Taylor makes, it’s worth mentioning that she uses the British slang word “M8,” which sounds like May 8.

Considering it’s normal to have two months of pre-sale orders and promo, the reputation (TV) announcement date will likely be in early May. I don't think she will do a surprise drop for any of the re-records.

May 8: 5 + 8 = 13

I think the rep (TV) era will be short-lived because of how much attention this re-record will receive. After the insane clowning, we all know different subsections of this fandom & haters will pull her work apart for sonic & production changes, and to hype her old enemies & exes or their delusions.

I predict Rep (TV) will have an almost double album worth of vault tracks because a lot of life happened between 1989-Lover. Anything she wrote about her stolen music, enemies, or exes could be incorporated into the re-record since the original was a revenge-marketed love album.

Aside from being a new music Friday, July 4 is also mentioned in “End Game” lyrics.

She released Speak Now (TV) on July 7, 2023, because it was the closest Friday to July 9, as a reference to the “Last Kiss” lyrics.

The Swiftie common sense really could be as simple as that.

As for the date guesses, firstly, TTPD represents the “So Long London” era and was released on April 19, the anniversary of the start of the American Revolution.

So reclaiming and releasing reputation (TV) on American Independence Day would be poeticly hilarious and full circle. 🤍🖤

The Taylor’s Version trademark application situation also establishes a sense of urgency and a firm deadline: August 16, 2025. A trademark can be registered once it is being “used in commerce,” which in this case means available for pre-order or purchase.

My re-record predictions:

🖤 reputation (TV) announced May 8 and released July 4, 2025

💚 Taylor Swift (TV) announced August 7 and released October 3, 2025

I know some will say those dates are too close together, but these make the most logical, simply strategic sense to me.

But I think if she does announce something, it will be Eras-related, like a behind-the-scenes documentary or a live album.

Next in 2025, I think Taylor will complete the re-records project to avoid interruptions when she eventually releases TS12.
