CODE REP (But For Real This Time)

She keeps these longings locked in lowercase inside a vault

I tried. I tried. I tried. Believe me, I tried so so so hard not to become a Rep TV clown again, but I failed. There is just too much evidence at this point.

Happy International Clown Week, everybody (yes, it is literally Clown Week)! Put on your masks because a new Reputation theory is taking over the internet, and it actually makes sense.

The theory says that Reputation (Taylor's Version) will be announced on August 2nd, aka TOMORROW.

Evidence (?)

666th Post

Taylor’s next Instagram post is going to be the 666th post. And what is her sixth album? Reputation of course! That means that if she announces Rep TV in Warsaw, the announcement will be her 666th post.

The 3 2 1 Saga Continues

As I mentioned in my former Rep TV post (which now looks to me so embarrassing and dumb), Taylor and Taylor Nation have been using their socials to count down 3 2 1.

I spotted this interesting detail after Taylor posted the Munich Thank You post. She had been counting down with exclamation marks in the Germany thank you posts.

• In the Gelsenkirchen post, she used exclamation marks three different times: !!!, then !! and then !

• In the Hamburg post, she used exclamation marks two different times: !! and then !

• In the Munich post, she only used one exclamation mark: !

Maybe the countdown is finally over?

Triggering Moments

Tokyo N3 (February 9th 2024) - Taylor said “175 years old”. There were 175 days between the release of 1989TV and TTPD. Taylor said that on February 9th, and 175 days before February 9th is August 18th: the date Taylor cleared all of her social media back in 2017 before she announced of Reputation.

Taylor’s Nation Tweet (February 12th 2024) - Taylor Nation tweeted about the 3-year anniversary of the Taylor’s Version project. They said that 105 songs are out of the vault. 1+0+5=6, and Reputation is obviously the sixth album. Also, 105 days after the release of TTPD is August 2nd.

Lisbon N1 (May 24th) - Taylor said “70 hours of TV.” 70 days after May 24h is, guess what… August 2nd!

Melbourne N2 (February 17th) - Taylor officially started the mashup era in Melbourne N2 with the VERY random mashup of Getaway Car, August and TOSOTD. This mashup was super random and unrelated, especially since August is already on the Eras Tour setlist, but it actually has a symbolic meaning: Getaway Car symbolizes Reputation, August symbolizes the month of August, and TOSOTD is a song from Fearless (Taylor’s second album).

Karma Coffee Cup

The Coffee Cup from the Karma MV haunts us until this very day. It hints at 1989TV (blue nail), TTPD (white handle) and Reputation TV (black nail). However, it might have another meaning: the black nail is pointing at 2 and the blue nail is pointing at 8. August is the 8th month, so maybe something is happening on the second day of it…?

Munich Thank You Post

On the photo dump Taylor posted after the Munich shows, there was one image that triggered me: the eighth picture of Taylor in her Reputation bodysuit, holding up a ✌️. Again, August 2nd.

TTPD Voice Memos

On May 16th we got TTPD phone memos for three different songs: Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me? (track 10), Cassandra (track 27) and The Black Dog (track 17). These are all very Rep-coded songs considering their lyrics, and the track numbers spell out a date… 10/27/2017. The release date of the Ready For It…? MV. This can’t be a coincidence.

If Taylor ACTUALLY Announces Rep TV, When Will It Come Out?

I think that Taylor might release Reputation (Taylor’s Version) on October 11th.

First of all, the original release date of Reputation is November 10th, so the dates are opposite of each other (11.10 and 10.11).

In addition to that, October 11th is 175 days after the release of TTPD, and as I mentioned above, 175 is a significant number (there were also 175 days between 1989TV and TTPD).

I really really hope that we are right this time. This theory actually makes sense and I’m pretty sure it’s true. I guess we will find out tomorrow!

Happy clown week everybody!
