Taylor Swift has been known to leave clues for those fans passionate enough to discover them. These clues, or “easter eggs” as the Swiftie fandom has taken to calling them, are hints from Taylor about her upcoming new music, and fans have been patiently awaiting the drop of her final two re-recordings, Taylor Swift and reputation. Recently, fans think Taylor has been dropping lots of clues about when her 12th album will drop—keep reading to see the easter eggs yourself
1. 12 'D's
Selena Gomez and her new fiancé Benny Blanco just released a new album, I Said I Love You First, and the day that it dropped, Swift ended her 100-day social media hiatus to return to Instagram and post her support for her best friend. Sharing the album cover to her Instagram story, Taylor wrote, "@selenagomez & @bennyblanco I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD."
The easter egg here? Fans noticed that Swift used exactly 12 D's in the last word of her post. TS12, is that you? The star has been known to use lettering as an easter egg, so it's not completely out of the question...
2. The Grammys 'Fit
Up next is Taylor Swift's 2025 Grammys outfit. Swift arrived to the 2025 ceremony in a stunning red minidress from Viviene Westwood, and fans couldn't help but notice that the Lorraine Schwartz drop earrings she wore had exactly 12 ruby stones each. A coincidence or a simple nod to TS12? Depends on if you believe in coincidences!
3. Did You Hear What Travis Kelce Said?
Swift may be getting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in on the easter eggs too. During his interview on The Pat McAfee Show, the host asked Travis if there would be any love songs on the new album. Two of Taylor's songs on her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, are clearly love songs about her and Travis Kelce: "The Alchemy" and "So High School."
Though Travis didn't reveal much, he did cheekily respond, "There might be a few, I don't know. There might be a few. I'll never chime in, but I'm here to support it."
4. TS Or 12?
Last year, Taylor Swift was out and about with her longtime friend Gigi Hadid when she was spotting wearing a gold chain necklace with a "12" pendant. Some fans claimed it was likely a necklace with her initials on it that got flipped upside down, but the dreamer Swifties believed it was a clue that TS12 is coming soon.
