Here we are again, folks. Clown noses and makeup on our faces as yet again Taylor Swift didn’t announce the impending release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version). Fans of the 14-time Grammy winner have been relentlessly predicting the next re-record album, coming up empty every time.
As Tuesday evening’s show in London was the last one of the Eras Tour in Europe, it seemed natural for a big announcement. While fans didn’t get Reputation (Taylor’s Version), they certainly didn’t leave Wembley Stadium without some surprises.
First, Florence Welch came on stage to perform their song “Florida!!!” from The Tortured Poets Department.

Then, for surprise songs, Swift welcomed longtime friend and producer on stage for a mashup of “Death By A Thousand Cuts” and “Getaway Car.” The duo even recreated their iconic riffing to get to the bridge of “Getaway Car.” It was perfect, even if the wait for Reputation (Taylor’s Version) continues.

Could the MTV Video Music Awards on September 11 be the next clowning date for potential announcement? Only time will tell.
