Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> is about to wrap up her run of six sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles \u2014 and fans are convinced she\u2019ll be celebrating with a very special announcement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Swift has been making her way through the rerecordings \u2014 and rereleases \u2014 of her first six albums since her masters were sold to Scooter Braun<\/strong><\/a> in 2019. After dropping both Fearless (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> and Red (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> in 2021, Swift announced the release of Speak Now (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u2019s<\/em> in May, dropping the album two months later while on the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In her most recent music video for her single \u201cI Can See You\u201d \u2014 a vault track off Speak Now (TV)<\/em> \u2014 a traffic sign can be seen that reads \u201cI-9 89 TV\u201d<\/a> as she jumps in a van and speeds away down the road. The imagery has led fans to believe 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> will be the next re-recorded album to drop \u2014 especially because Swift is known for being a mastermind of subtle hints.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI love to communicate through Easter eggs,\u201d she told Entertainment Weekly<\/em> <\/a>in 2019. \u201cI think the best messages are cryptic ones \u2026 You know when you plan something that far in advance, you\u2019re kind of just flexing on planning. That\u2019s what an Easter egg really does.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Now, however, it seems more and more likely that Swift will announce 1989 TV<\/em> before even wrapping up<\/a> the U.S. leg of her tour on Wednesday, August 9. From Starbucks Lovers playlists to surprise songs and suspicious color coding, we may be out of the woods \u2014 and closer to her next album release \u2014 than we think.<\/span><\/p>\n Keep scrolling for every hint that 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> will be announced at Swift\u2019s\u00a0August 9 concert:<\/span><\/p>\n When Swift released 1989<\/em> in 2014, her second single off the album, \u201cBlank Space,\u201d left many fans confused by its lyrics. While Swift sings \u201cGot a long list of ex-lovers\u201d during the chorus, many heard \u201cStarbucks lovers\u201d instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Swift later confessed that even her mother, Andrea Swift<\/strong><\/a>, heard the lyric incorrectly. \u201c\u2018Hahah it really does sound like Starbucks lovers\u2026\u2019 -my mom just now who is SUPPOSED TO BE ON MY SIDE Smh,\u201d Swift wrote via Twitter in May 2015.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Now, Starbucks is using the hilarious confusion to seemingly promote the upcoming release of Swift\u2019s\u00a0 1989<\/em> re-recording. The iconic coffee company s rolling out a 122-song playlist of her music for use as a soundtrack inside its U.S. company-operated stores. The title of the playlist? Starbucks Lovers, of course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While some believe it is just a way of celebrating the singer wrapping up the first leg of her Eras Tour<\/em><\/a>, other fans think the direct reference to a 1989 lyric hints Swift will announce 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> during her last L.A. performance. <\/span><\/p>\n Throughout the U.S. leg of the Eras Tour<\/em>, Swift has played two surprise songs for audiences per concert<\/a> \u2013 and has rarely repeated any of them twice. By the time she hits the stage for her final stop in Los Angeles on August 9, there will only be one 1989 song the pop star hasn\u2019t sung live: \u201cNew Romantics.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \n The tune, which was a bonus track on the deluxe version of the album, is an anthem fans believe would be the perfect song to play before announcing the rerelease of 1989 TV<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Cause baby, I could build a castle \/ Out of all the bricks they threw at me \/ And every day is like a battle \/ But every night with us is like a dream,\u201d Swift belts on the synth-heavy bop. \u201cBaby, we\u2019re the new romantics \/ Come on, come along with me \/ Heartbreak is the national anthem \/ We sing it proudly \/ We are too busy dancing \/ To get knocked off our feet \/ Baby, we\u2019re the new romantics \/ The best people in life are free.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nStarbucks Lovers<\/span><\/h3>\n
