The singer began teasing her next album sometime after her release of The Tortured Poets Department, during the time she was starting to wrap up her highly successful The Eras tour.
Fans have speculated that she started teasing the album as far back as September 2024, with the singer apparently wearing a necklace upside down so that it looks like '12':
In October 2024, Taylor Swift posted a TikTok video where a sign reads A12.

Taylor Swift recently got back her master's from Shamrock
In May 2025, Taylor Swift purchased back the rights to her masters from Shamrock Capitol. The singer made fans aware of the purchase in a long letter to her fans on her official website, stating:
"I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made...belongs to me. And all of my music videos. All the concert films. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work."
In that letter, the singer also postponed the possible Taylor's Version re-recording of Reputation for the foreseeable future, stating:
"I know. I know. What about Rep TV? Full transparency: I haven't even recorded a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it."
The singer continued:
"Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge,when the time is right, if that is something you would be interested in But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now."
The singer did mention in her letter that the vault tracks from both albums will be released at some point. It is unclear if her upcoming album will feature some of her unreleased vault tracks.
