As we all eagerly await Taylor Swift\u2019s Max Martin-produced pop \u201cbangers\u201d album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/a>, Swifties are already doing important detective work to figure out what else the pop legend has in store for them. After all, the gal loves a good easter egg perhaps even more than she loves a certain Chiefs tight end. Taylor\u2019s constantly keeping the Swifties on their toes, hinting at what\u2019s to come. And this time around, fans are convinced she\u2019s teasing the Reputation vault tracks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a Reputation stan (since the day of its release), I\u2019m attempting to remain calm, cool, and collected right now, since Taylor fan theories are so often incorrect. But apparently, people are finding Reputation-related clues on the TLOAS album cover and in the \u201cDon\u2019t Blame Me\u201d lyrics on the Apple Music app. A coincidence? Probably not\u2026<\/p>\n

So, is Taylor Swift releasing Reputation vault tracks<\/a> with (or shortly after) The Life of a Showgirl? Let\u2019s break down this very intriguing fan theory.<\/p>\n

Reputation Vault Tracks Easter Eggs, Explained<\/p>\n

Apple Music users have noticed that The Life of a Showgirl album cover animation in the Apple Music app features black glittery cracks that look like the Eras Tour Reputation stage setup<\/a>. And there\u2019s an even more obvious new easter egg too! Taylor\u2019s using her iconic capitalization code in the \u201cDon\u2019t Blame Me\u201d lyrics on Apple Music. The capital letters spell out: \u201cThey don\u2019t make loyalty like they used to.\u201d There really isn\u2019t a more Reputation-coded lyric than that.<\/p>\n

In Taylor\u2019s May 30, 2025 letter announcing that she purchased her masters, she shared that she tried to re-record Reputation, but it seemed impossible to top the original versions of the songs. That being said, she did tease the vault tracks. \u201cThere will be a time (if you\u2019re into the idea) for the unreleased Vault tracks from that album to hatch<\/a>,\u201d she wrote at the time. (As if fans ~wouldn\u2019t be into the idea~. Please.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s notable that Reputation and The Life of a Showgirl seem to have several connections \u2014\u00a0high-energy pop songs, producers Max Martin and Shellback, and artistic direction from Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. So, it wouldn\u2019t be shocking if Taylor enlisted those same folks to help her bring the Reputation vault tracks to life. I would fully support that choice.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re approaching the eighth anniversary of Reputation, which came out on November 10, 2017. Maybe, just maybe, we can look forward to the vault tracks this November? I apologize in advance for reverting to my 17-year-old self and making those songs my entire personality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As we all eagerly await Taylor Swift\u2019s Max Martin-produced pop \u201cbangers\u201d album, The Life of a Showgirl, Swifties…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55723,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[430,156,157,111,139,69,6456],"class_list":["post-55722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-taylor-swift"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
