Taylor Swift’s self-titled debut album and her popular Reputation album mysteriously disappeared from Spotify, leading fans to believe that new versions of these albums might soon be released. Swifties quickly shared their theories online, speculating that these could be Taylor’s latest “Taylor’s Versions” — her re-recorded albums designed to reclaim her musical rights.

The excitement grew after Taylor Swift attended the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards wearing a striking black-and-yellow plaid outfit, reminiscent of her Reputation era. Fans saw this as a possible teaser for the highly anticipated re-release of the album.
Over the years, Taylor has been systematically re-recording her old albums. So far, she has released Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version) in 2021, followed by Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in 2023.
Interestingly, the album removal came just before the 2025 Grammys, where Taylor is nominated for several major categories, including Best Album and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Fans think this could signal an upcoming announcement about Reputation: Taylor’s Version or the re-release of her debut album.
Swift has been known to use major award shows to surprise fans. For instance, during last year’s Music Academy Awards, she stunned everyone by announcing a secret album, The Tortured Poet’s Department, while accepting her award.
In previous interviews, Swift described her re-recording project as a magical journey. She compared it to collecting pieces of her artistic soul, similar to collecting “horcruxes” from the Harry Potter series.
