Taylor Swift fans were sent into a frenzy on July 15 after a report hinted at the possibility of a new album—only for that hope to be dashed after a subtle yet significant edit.
The buzz began when music industry site Hits Daily Double published a piece referencing “seismic rumblings of a new Taylor set,” suggesting that Republic Records was bracing for a major Swift release. Given that Swift's last original album, The Tortured Poets Department, dropped in April 2024, fans had been eagerly awaiting a follow-up.
Swifties, already speculating about re-recordings and surprise releases, took the mention as a signal that a new Taylor Swift album could be on the horizon. However, shortly after the article was published, the line was edited to simply read, “And there’s always Taylor,” dampening the excitement and raising questions about whether the initial claim had been premature or misinformed.
The quiet retraction suggests someone from Swift’s camp or Republic Records may have clarified that there is no immediate release planned. With Swift recently buying back her masters, the timeline for new re-recordings has also become unclear.

While the edit may have disappointed fans, it also reaffirms Swift’s ever-present dominance in the industry—even a passing mention of her name can spark widespread speculation. For now, fans will have to keep their eyes peeled, but it seems a new Taylor Swift album is not confirmed… yet.
