If Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> is the perpetrator, her fans are the detectives. The pop star \u2014 who is notorious for dropping cryptic messages<\/a> in her liner notes, music videos and social media posts \u2014 seems to have left several clues that 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> will be the next album she\u2019ll release.<\/p>\n In May 2022, the singer-songwriter gave her followers the most ammunition for their theories yet when \u201cTaylor\u2019s Version\u201d of the 1989<\/em> track \u201cThis Love\u201d was featured in the trailer for the teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you [director] @jennyhan for debuting my version of \u2018This Love\u2019 in the trailer for @thesummeriturnedpretty!! I\u2019ve always been so proud of this song and I\u2019m very \ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd7a about this turn of events,\u201d the Grammy winner shared via Instagram<\/a>. \u201c\u2018This Love (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u2019 comes out tonight at m i d n i g h t!\u201d<\/p>\n The updated single isn\u2019t the first song Swift has released from 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>. In September 2021, she shared a glimpse of her new version of \u201cWildest Dreams,\u201d<\/a> which was the first hint that the 2014 album could be the next rerelease on her list.<\/p>\n As The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/em> trailer premiered in May 2022, an entire \u201c1989<\/em> Shop\u201d appeared in the \u201cShake It Off\u201d singer\u2019s official merch store, with the album title emblazoned on everything from sweatshirts and tumblers to blankets and sunglasses. One of the many items available on Swift\u2019s website is the \u201c1989<\/em> seagull necklace,\u201d which appears to represent the shirt she is wearing on the album cover. It could also be a nod to the matching silver airplane necklaces that she and ex Harry Styles<\/strong> <\/a>both owned, which she sings about on \u201cOut of the Woods\u201d<\/a> \u2014 one of the 1989<\/em> tracks heavily rumored<\/a> to be about the \u201cWatermelon Sugar\u201d singer.<\/p>\n If the Evermore<\/em> artist is anything, it\u2019s cryptic \u2014 and even she\u2019s admitted to it. Fans believe that there are plenty of other clues Swift has dropped along the way, including little phrases and visuals hidden in interviews and music videos. (Even a box of apple juice holds potential meaning to Swifties!)<\/p>\n \u201cCan\u2019t stop won\u2019t stop being cryptic and weird,\u201d the Pennsylvania native commented on a fan\u2019s November 2021 TikTok, which pointed out that her \u201cAll Too Well\u201d short film<\/a> featured a car made in 1989. \u201cThat\u2019s just the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n
