The Eras Tour has been a one-way ticket to the Taylor Swift wonderland Swifties’ dream of. But amidst the two years of every dream come true moment, one thing that remains amiss is ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version).’ With the tour’s ending right on the horizon, the Swiftie Intelligence has been alert on the lookout for any special announcements, or Easter eggs, if nothing else. Although some hints have been dropped in line with ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’ ahead of the pop star’s Vancouver visit, Swift spies call it a false alarm.

A Taylor Swift fan page on X recently shared two pictures of Taylor Swift signs across Vancouver’s billboards in Canada via TikTok, which resemble the ‘Reputation’ album cover. While the fandom alerts that it is not a “trick,” the Taylor Swift special task force has reasons for believing otherwise. Even though her fans have been restless about ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version),’ they somehow do not buy into this trap, but with good reason.

As the Eras Tour approaches its grand finale, ticket prices for Taylor Swift’s Vancouver shows have skyrocketed, but the reason is twofold. First, legions of Swifties are flocking to catch the tour before it ends. Second, fans expect some big revelations, if not for ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version),’ then perhaps a glimpse of her next era. And since Swifties specialize in playing detective like a 9-to-5 job, who better to trust when it comes to anything about the pop star?

Reputation (Taylor’s Version) cues before Taylor Swift’s Vancouver visit turns Swifties into spies

During the two long years Taylor Swift took over the stage to show off the musical eras, the mentions of ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’ had the entire Swiftie association on their toes. Although their sleuthing led to ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ the re-recorded album stayed true to its reputation for being elusive. Thus, even after the latest update, Swifties are convinced it is all just “stock images.”

Some speculated they were just “mockups” or templates from Canva while the fan page struggled to convince fellow Swifties about the truth.

Many folks believed the entire thing was edited, and others pointed out that a TikTok user created it, and even shared the process. Therefore, with Swifties collectively agreeing it is "fake," it is difficult not to side with the rational crowd. After all, if die-hard fans who have waited for years for ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’ can stay patient, who is anyone else to mess with that reputation?
