Taylor Swift may be preparing for her next musical chapter after being spotted secretly filming a new music video in Los Angeles, according to an insider who spoke exclusively to The US Sun.

Despite taking time off with boyfriend Travis Kelce following the massive success of her Eras Tour, Swift appears to be back in creative mode.

"Taylor was in Los Angeles on Thursday filming a new music video," the source revealed. "It was so top secret that those working on set were not even allowed to hear the song, only the beat." The development comes as fans speculate a countdown is underway on Swift’s Instagram account, believed to end in early August.

Swift's last studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, dropped in April 2024, marking her eleventh release. She has maintained a pattern of unveiling new music annually since 2016, intensifying anticipation that a fresh release could be imminent.

This would follow her recent acquisition of the masters for her first six albums, a deal reportedly worth $360 million. Speaking about the buyback, Swift confirmed: “All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me… My entire life's work.”

While enjoying downtime with Kelce, Swift's return to work suggests that her twelfth studio album may be closer than fans expected. With social media abuzz and a new video already in production, Swift’s next musical era seems ready to begin.
