Swifties have spotted two curious clues in Taylor Swift’s online presence since she won back her masters, saying that all clues point towards the record-breaking pop star dropping her next studio album, and soon.
With the dust well and surely settled on the Eras Tour and the long battle for her masters won, Taylor looks set to release her twelfth studio album just a year after The Tortured Poets Department was released

The letter proclaiming “All the music I’ve ever made… now belongs to me” was left for such a short and specific amount of time that her fans are theorizing that Swift was hinting at her twelfth album being on its way. @sombrslut commented “ts12 is upon us.”
Swift has also released new line of merch on her website – much of which is navy – also featuring a new cursive Taylor Swift font. This has led fans to believe navy blue will be the color of “TS12”, as the artists often has an overriding colour for each “era.”

One fan commented: “If anybody says TS12 is not coming soon, they are lying. The whole merch drop today is a complete swivel from TTPD and doesn’t rlly match the aesthetic of any of her albums. Like navy blue? The whole country club vibe? The literal new TS and Taylor Swift? It’s coming fast.”
It comes after the 35-year-old sensation reportedly forked over a staggering $360 million to secure her music rights, marking a significant victory in her quest for artistic independence.

Taylor Swift’s latest strategic move in the music industry—securing ownership of her masters—has fans cheering for what they see as a monumental shift in the business.
The saga began in 2019 when Scooter Braun made waves by acquiring Big Machine Records, which owned the original recordings of Swift’s early hit albums, including ‘Taylor Swift,’ ‘Fearless,’ ‘Speak Now,’ ‘Red,’ ‘1989,’ and ‘Reputation. ‘.
In a bold counter, Swift hit back by releasing ‘Taylor’s Version’ of these beloved albums, thereby regaining both creative and financial control. A year after Braun’s controversial purchase, he sold the prized masters to Shamrock Capital in 2020 for a staggering $405 million.
Swift, determined to maintain her independence, rejected an offer from Shamrock that would have indirectly benefited Braun, insisting on complete ownership instead.
Last week Swift’s website was abuzz with the victorious news: she has officially reacquired her masters from Shamrock Capital, cementing her position as a pioneer for artists’ rights.
In her emotive Instagram post, Swift reflected on her perseverance and eventual triumph, sharing: “I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that’s all in the past now.”
