Taylor Swift's final Eras Tour show is today. This clue has fans convinced she'll drop Reputation.

I'm a Swiftie with a theory, a platform, and a dream, and I know Taylor Swift is about to announce something big.

Do I know this for sure? Absolutely not, her inner circle is a vault sworn to secrecy and I'm certainly not in it. But if history serves, there is something strange going on. And no, I'm not talking about the theory of her 'lost album' Karma.

Since the news that Taylor was re-recording her masters to claim ownership of her music in 2021, fans have been treated to the 'Taylor's Version' releases of Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989. What's left? Reputation and her self-titled debut album, Taylor Swift.

Fans have long assumed her debut album would be the final release, in a symbolic move to reclaim her 'name' once and for all. Miss Swift is nothing if not dramatic.

And thanks to the queen of the Easter Egg herself, Miss Taylor Alison Swift, there are a bunch of hidden details and small clues that prove Reputation will be the next Taylor's Version release. At least, in my opinion.

Are you ready for it? Let's clown…

Here are all the Easter eggs that prove Taylor Swift is about to release Reputation (Taylor's Version).

The important t-shirt.

Yes! The Eras Tour does feature very important slogan tees, from which we can deduct clues like some kind of deranged sartorial spy.

For the first two shows in Vancouver, Taylor wore her 'This is not Taylor's Version' t-shirt for her performance of 22 in the 'Red' era. But the thing is… she already released Taylor's Version of 'Red'.

So by wearing this shirt multiple nights in a row in Vancouver, is she hinting at another TV release? I'll clown and say YES.

The countdown at The Eras Tour.

When Taylor performs 'Midnight Rain', she sings the line, "He never thinks of me, except when I'm on TV." She usually strikes a pose on the big screen after this line.

On the fifth night of her Toronto shows, Taylor held up five fingers and dramatically counted down from five to four.

The following night, her final show in Toronto, she did it again — this time holding up four fingers and counting down to three.

She's continued counting down until this last moment: her final show in Vancouver on December 8 (December 9 in Australia).

Given she only has one show left on the tour, in Vancouver, fans think she's counting down to a big announcement on the final show.

Basically, she's up to something.

The… other countdown at The Eras Tour.

On October 20, Taylor gave fans another countdown of sorts.

When performing '22', Taylor usually flashes the number by holding up two fingers to punctuate the line. This time, she flashed five fingers.

"TAYLOR HELD UP 55 DURING 22. 55 DAYS FROM NOW??? DECEMBER 13TH. GET IN THE CAR, CLOWNS," one of her biggest fan accounts tweeted.

In case you're not a psycho like me, December 13 is Taylor Swift's birthday. Could she be hinting at a Reputation release on her birthday? Fans were certainly convinced.

Swifties have jokingly referred to the concert extravaganza as 'The Errors Tour' over the past two years, joking about the handful of times Taylor has suffered technical misshaps or forgotten lyrics. The hand gesture could be as simple as Taylor messing up her little choreo moment. But it seems, suspiciousssss.

TAYLOR HELD UP 55 DURING 22.

55 DAYS FROM NOW???

DECEMBER 13TH.

GET IN THE CAR, CLOWNS. 🤡

The new Reputation bodysuit.

Taylor's Eras Tour returned to North America for its final leg on October 18 — with 18 just shows left to perform across the US and Canada before the end of her record-breaking tour.

Fans theorised that Swift was going to announce major news at this show. She didn't, however, Taylor stepped out on stage to perform the Reputation set wearing a brand-new outfit for the very first time on this tour.

While she has routinely changed outfits for other sets, Rep was the one era that remained the same for all 131 shows. Up until this show.

The signature red snake slithering across her black bodysuit changed to gold, and as she performed the iconic set in the pouring rain in Miami, fans could see a glint in her eye.

She strutted her way off the stage in a flash of green, with a little smirk at the camera as the crowd cheered her on.

Fans naturally think this means that Reputation will be the next album to get Swift's attention.

Taylor debuts her new Reputation bodysuit.

Her new Roberto Cavalli purse.

Taylor's outfits have been increasingly 'Rep coded' in recent months, but there have been some very clear nods that stand out.

In October, Swift stepped out in New York with a particularly show-stopping Roberto Cavalli purse: black, with two mirrored snakes surrounding the letter R. Ooohhhhh, what could she possibly mean by this? One must wonder…

The hidden detail in her VMAs red carpet gown.

When Taylor Swift rocked up to the 2024 MTV VMAs, she was there to make history. And she did, surpassing Beyoncé to become the most awarded artist in the show's history as she picked up seven awards on the night (taking her to a total of 30).

She also paid tribute to… the plaid paint tin in the Ready For It music video. Yes, I am serious. Why do you ask?

Her Dior gown was the same colour and style of this particular paint tin from the blink-and-you'll-miss-it sequence in her music video and you won't convince me it just 'happened' coincidentally.

Me when I'm dressed as a paint can.

The Reputation-coded boots in the 'I Can Do It With A Broken Heart' music video.

Swift has famously swapped outfits throughout the tour for every era, bar one: Reputation.

For the entire 18 months she's been performing, Swift has worn just one black and red bodysuit. Until the gold snake suit, of course.

But in the music video for newly released song 'I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,' Swift takes fans behind the scenes of rehearsals for the second leg of the Eras Tour in 2024. In one clip, she is wearing the Christian Louboutin 'Gael Strass Boot' in black and red.

It looks an awful lot like the outfit she wears for Reputation, in shoe form. And we've literally never seen her wear these. Highly suspect, if you ask me. Whatcha saving them for, Tay Tay?

Where did these boots come from, queen?

The snake on the 1989 album cover.

Swift is one of the hardest -working women in show business, having released The Tortured Poets Department earlier this year (her eighth album release of the 2020s).

With four new studio albums, it's wild to think she's also had the time to drop four re-recorded masters in recent years. The last 're-record' was 1989 (Taylor's Version), which was released on October 27, 2023.

And it seemingly came with a preview of what was up next: the 'S' in the word 'Version' looked an awful lot like a snake.

Perhaps us Swifties are misguided, who could say for sure? But what I can and will say is that there was more than one 'S' on the 1989 cover and they didn't both look like this. In fact, most times I've ever seen the letter 'S' in my life it has failed to look like a snake. They actually usually just look like the letter 's', you know?

WHAT. WAS. THE. REASON? Reputation (Taylor's Version) must be coming.

Me when I draw my 'S' to look reptilian.

Reputation was written in the… sand.

Fans kept trying to find connections between Swift's Midnights album and Reputation, but in the end it would be 1989 (Taylor's Version) that gave us the most concrete of clues.

In the lyric music video for You Are In Love, from 1989 (Taylor's Version), fans spotted the word REP (TV) spelt out in the sand. Now why would you do that, you unhinged queen?

The letters were spelt backwards, but given it was the only word written in otherwise-perfect sand, it didn't take long for fans to piece this one together.

What a mysterious thing to write in the sand, I wonder what it means?

Now, I don't want to put words in your mouth: but don't you think there are a few too many 'coincidences' piling up here?

As a Swiftie who loves collecting clues, I know a Reputation (Taylor's Version) announcement is imminent.

October 18 may have turned out to be just another day… but the new Reputation outfit and the countdown lets us know: it's coming.
