Swift's 'Reputation' Rumors Reignited by Lyric Changes

Renewed speculation surrounds Taylor Swift's highly anticipated 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' following subtle lyric changes on Apple Music in December 2025. Fans noticed alterations in "I Did Something Bad" and "Delicate," sparking fresh excitement. This follows an earlier hint when a snippet of a new "Look What You Made Me Do" was featured in the final season of "The Handmaid's Tale."

Swift herself has acknowledged the potential for unreleased "Reputation" material, describing the vault tracks as "fire" in a 2023 interview. However, she later clarified in a May 2025 letter that re-recording the album has been a slow process, with less than a quarter of it completed. She cited the album's specific connection to a challenging period in her life as a reason for its delay.

Despite the ongoing re-recording of her earlier albums, "Reputation" and her self-titled debut remain unreleased in their Taylor's Version forms. Swift indicated that if these albums are eventually released, it will be a celebration rather than born from past struggles, suggesting they will emerge when the time is right.
