Taylor Swift has arrived at the Grammy’s, where she is nominated for a half-dozen awards following one of the most dominant years in the history of music.
Rumors of the release of her next re-recording of a past album, Reputation have been swirling since she released 1989 (Taylor’s Verison) in October.
Nobody loves giving Easter eggs and little clues to her fans like Taylor Swift, and Sunday has been full of them.
Her profile pic on Instagram turned to black-and-white, and her website went down, seemingly on purpose. Fans instantly knew something was up, likely being an announcement of the release date of Reputation.
When Taylor Swift arrived at the Grammy’s in LA just before 8PM Eastern Time, she had an interesting accessory, wearing a clock that was set to midnight.
A clock was a big part of her record-setting Eras Tour last year, as her arrival on stage was counted down by a similar analog clock.
So, all of this is adding up to something happening at midnight, probably an announcement of the release date.
Swift is re-recording her first seven albums due to a dispute with music mogul Scooter Braun about her masters. Re-recording the albums will give her ownership of her masters after a group including Braun bought them without her approval. It’s complicated
It’s one of the biggest week’s of Swift’s career. She has the Grammy’s tonight, will resume the Eras Tour this week in Tokyo with four shows, and then she will head back to the United States to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII next Sunday.
The relationship has taken the NFL world by storm, and nearly everyone has an opinion about it. The presence of the world’s biggest music star is certain to add another layer to America’s biggest sporting event.
