After the 34-year-old superstar’s 16-track project dropped at midnight Swift’s fans noticed that a two-hour countdown went live on her Instagram page.
It seemingly suggests a potential new announcement or a surprise coming at 2:00. a.m. ET.
The singer has dropped numerous hints in the past days that the 2:00 a.m. hour has a special meaning.
Many fans also speculated that the star might be planning to release her version of her 2017 album Reputation, in the same way she’s been re-recording her former records amid a battle for ownership of her work.

Swift has teased the 2:00 o’clock on numerous occasion in the past weeks.
In a teaser video for the release of the album she had a clock on the wall which was stuck at the 2:00 hour.
The clocks at the library pop-up and in her mysterious Fortnight music video announcement from earlier this week have all been set to 2 o’clock as well.
At her Tortured Poets Spotify library installation in Los Angeles there was a peace-sign statuette.

The Bad Blood songstress – who recently teased a ‘timetable’ to her fans ahead of the LP’s release – initially announced the album while attending the 2024 Grammys earlier this year in February.
The title of her latest work had caused fans to speculate that the name was aimed at her ex, Joe Alwyn. And earlier this week, Swift appeared to reference the actor as she shared lyrics from the album on X.
The Tortured Poets Department has a total of four versions, as well as a 16 songs and a bonus track titled The Manuscript.
Hours before the album dropped, Swift revealed that the album’s lead single would be Fortnight featuring rapper/singer Post Malone.
