Taylor Swift is riding the waves of fame with her Eras Tour, making headlines for her incredible streak at the top of the charts with ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ Yet, fans are still buzzing over her earlier re-recording of ‘Reputation (Taylor's Version),’ which had them on the edge of their seats. Despite widespread speculation that the record would drop during the Grammys, its continued absence from Swift's discography has fueled various fan theories. The latest suggests a possible collaboration with the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, leaving fans even more excited about what is to come.

Despite the sold-out stops of the Eras Tour worldwide, what has truly kept Swifties on edge are the perceived Easter eggs hinting at the release of ‘Reputation (Taylor's Version).’ Although Taylor Swift herself has not directly confirmed any connection to the re-record, her fans have been closely watching for any clues about the re-release. While there has not been much revealed aside from elaborate fan theories, Pop Tingz on X recently fueled speculation by suggesting BLACKPINK might collaborate with Swift on the ‘Reputation (Taylor's Version).’

Earlier, BLACKPINK’s Lisa hinted to ELLE Magazine that she would not mind embarking on an Eras-like tour of her own, especially now that she, like Taylor Swift, has secured the rights to her work with Lloud. The Thai rapper now owns her master recordings, allowing her fans to revisit many of her musical eras. While this prospect is exciting for those who value artistic freedom, the possibility of her entire group being part of Swift’s highly anticipated, yet still unreleased, re-recording is something fans never imagined in their wildest dreams.
