Sunday night, Taylor Swift will be in attendance at the 66th Grammy Awards as she hopes her Midnights album can add to her collection of 12 Grammys at home. She’s got a chance to make history by becoming the first ever artist to take home four Album of the Year awards from the prestigious ceremony.
Swift is also looking for her hit “Anti-Hero” to become her first Song of the Year win. In all, the singer-songwriter is nominated for six awards.

But before the show even got underway, Swifties were buzzing. Swift is re-recording her first six studio albums to reclaim ownership of the songs. Fans are anticipating that Reputation (Taylor’s Version) is next to be announced, and think that some clues have emerged.
Sunday morning, Swift’s profile pictures on Twitter (X) and Instagram were swapped out for one in black and white. As Reputation is the era associated with the color black and snakes, Swifites immediately were intrigued.

While it feels unlikely that Swift would use an event like the Grammys to make a big announcement, it’s not impossible.
The profile picture change isn’t the only potential indicator of a looming Reputation (Taylor’s Version) announcement. Put on your clown makeup and let’s dig into some conspiracy theories.

Swift wasn’t the only one to change her picture to black and white as a couple members of her friend group did the same. Good friend Keleigh Teller and boyfriend Travis Kelce joined the fun 13 days ago, which is a huge number in Swiftie lore.

66th Grammy Awards on an interesting date
Although 13 is the number most associated with the singer, the number six is important here. Reputation was Swift’s sixth studio album, and tonight the 66th Grammy Awards take place on February 4. The numerical date of February 4? 2/4. What is 2+4? You got it, 6.
