Taylor Swift just made her first red carpet appearance of the year at this evening’s iHeartRadio Music Awards. For the special occasion, the singer wore a custom Wiederhoeft look—a pale green corset top paired with a miniskirt and Jimmy Choo shoes—and, notably, skipped her signature red lip.

Swift is notoriously fond of using her outfits as Easter eggs, and tonight multiple fans are speculating that the star’s iHeartRadio Music Awards look is one big clue, teasing that her next album would be a re-recording of her debut album, Taylor Swift. The color of the corset and skirt, as well as Swift’s more minimal makeup and hair styling, seems to pay homage to the Taylor Swift cover.

She has nine nominations this evening, including Artist of the Year, Pop Artist of the Year, Favorite Tour Style (The Eras Tour), and Favorite On Screen (The End of an Era docuseries). Her song “The Fate of Ophelia” is up for Song of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Favorite TikTok Dance, Best Lyrics, and Best Music Video.

Swift has kept a low profile for most of 2026 and was most recently photographed out with Travis Kelce in February. She attended Beyoncé’s Oscar after-party last week but largely flew under the radar that night.

In mid-December, a source spoke to People about how Swift was feeling at the end of 2025. “Taylor’s had an incredibly full, demanding year, and she’s really proud of everything she’s accomplished,” the insider said. “She’s worked extremely hard and her schedule has been nonstop, but even with everything going on, she and Travis still put a lot into their relationship.”

The source added that Kelce and Swift “really support each other’s careers and understand the demands that come with what they each do. Whenever they can, they make time to be together and really value that alone time.”

Kelce signed to play another season with the Kansas City Chiefs this month, while Swift released her “Opalite” music video in February. “Elizabeth Taylor” will be the singer’s next radio single from The Life of a Showgirl, Billboard reported on March 11.
