Here’s Why Fans Think Taylor Swift Just Teased Her Next Album After Buying Her Masters

Taylor Swift might have teased her next album in her letter about buying back her masters. Here's why fans think that's the case.

In a letter posted to her website, the pop star revealed that she finally has control over her entire body of work after purchasing back her masters from Shamrock Capital (for somewhere around $360 million, sources tell Billboard). The statement may seem innocuous — and for all Swifties know, it is — but it’s hard not to focus in on the fact that she included no less than 12 “i”s when writing out the word “thiiiiiiiiiiiis.” Swift has released 11 albums over the course of her career, the last of which, The Tortured Poets Department, arrived in April 2023 and spent 17 weeks at No. Much fanfare was also made when Swift attended the 2025 Grammys wearing earrings with exactly 12 red jewels apiece, and in March, she used a sequence of 12 “D”s when praising Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s I Said I Love You First album on Instagram.
