Is Taylor Swift teasing TS13? Fans spot new clues everywhere

Taylor Swift fans spot possible TS13 Easter eggs, from lilac clues and mysterious numbers to a glowing landmark

Taylor Swift fans are once again searching for clues that could hint at the pop star’s potential 13th studio album.

Swift has not confirmed that TS13 is in development, but fans have identified several possible Easter eggs since the release of her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, in October 2025.

One of the biggest clues involves the number 13, which has long been associated with Swift. In May 2026, she attended a friend’s wedding wearing opal earrings featuring 13 stones. Fans quickly compared the accessory with red earrings containing 12 stones that Swift wore at the 2025 Grammy Awards, months before The Life of a Showgirl was announced.

Taylor has been teasing TS13 being lilac since the Bejeweled mv

The 13th floor is 💜

But the 💜 is paired with 🧡 tones, she did it with ICDIWABH mv, AntiHero mv, at eras with the mixed colors outfit, and today with the pap walk outfit

TS12 is ❤️‍🔥, not 🧡

The 🧡 is for Karma https://t.co/r4OFDmc7tE pic.twitter.com/Eo8Pylr55E

Another possible clue appeared during Swift’s August 2026 visit to London. She wore a lavender-coloured Delphine mini dress while leaving a members-only club. Fans noted that she had previously been photographed at the same location in 2024 wearing a plaid outfit, a style that later became associated with the Showgirl era.

The colour lilac has also attracted attention. In Swift’s 2022 “Bejeweled” music video, the 13th elevator button is lilac, leading fans to speculate that the colour could represent her 13th album.

Adding to the speculation, the Empire State Building was illuminated in green on August 20. Its social media account posted the caption “WhaTS happening?” while tagging Swift’s official account, prompting fans to wonder whether the post was connected to TS13.

Swift previously explained that her Easter eggs are intended to point toward music or future projects. For now, however, the singer has not announced a 13th album or confirmed any of the fan theories.
