Swiftie mania has spread across the city as fans prepare for what is rumored to be a huge performance.
From a new album to the release of a re-recording and a surprising guest appearance, the Anti Hero singer’s devoted fans are speculating on social media about what could happen later tonight.
There are more and more rumors that big stars like Florence Welch, Lana Del Ray or Sir Paul McCartney could take the stage, or that “something will definitely happen” at this historic show.
MailOnline looks at all the signs and fan theories that point to Taylor doing something special at tonight’s sold-out Eras tour performance.
Taylor Swift will perform in Liverpool on Thursday for the historic 100th show of her Eras world tour, and fans believe the megastar singer will do something special to commemorate the achievement.
It is the 100th show of the Eras tour
The most obvious clue that the pop star is planning something special for her first date in Liverpool is that it is also the 100th show of the Eras tour.
Taylor’s record-breaking tour began on March 17, 2023 and has since traveled throughout Europe, Australia, South and North America.
Now, he’s on English soil after completing a three-night sold-out run in Edinburgh for shows 97, 98 and 99.
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their excitement, writing: “Why does the day before the 100th show feel like Christmas Eve and why am I also terrified?”
‘How am I going to be at the 100th show on the 13th? I still can’t believe this is real.’
“The fact that there will be casual fans attending tonight’s show with no idea that it’s the 100th show on the 13th…meanwhile, I’m at home drinking a menty b.”
“Happy hundredth era show on the 13th to anyone celebrating or dreading it.”
The most obvious clue that the pop star is planning something special for her first date in Liverpool is that it is also the 100th show of the Eras tour.
It will be the 13th.
The historic performance will also be held on June 13, which many detective Swifties have taken as a sign.
Thirteen is Taylor’s lucky number and has become a symbol among her fans, who often write the number on the back of their hands when attending her shows.
In an interview with MTV News in 2009, the singer explained: ‘I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks.
‘Also, my first song that went to number 1, it had a 13 second intro, I didn’t even do that on purpose! And every time I won a prize at an awards show, I sat in row 13 or row M, which is the letter 13.’
Taylor was born on December 13, 1989, making today her “half-birthday.”
Fans tweeted: ‘I’m not sure WHAT is going to happen but the fact that the 100th show HAPPENS will land on the 13th of the month AND Taylor’s half birthday makes it undeniable that something is happening.’ With her nothing is a coincidence.
“I don’t want to add fuel to the fire, but June 13, also known as the 100th show, is also Taylor’s half-birthday.”
From a new album to the release of a re-recording and a surprising guest appearance, the Anti Hero singer’s devoted fans are speculating on social media about what could happen tonight.
The last announcement was 20 shows ago.
One eagle-eyed fan pointed out that Taylor’s marketing team, Taylor Nation, tweeted: “When #TSTheErasTour happens in the light of day, it’s easier for Taylor to watch her golden love stories unfold.” We love celebrating those once-in-a-lifetime moments with you!’
Kira, who posts under the handle. @kiralovestaylorwrote: ‘Don’t they say “once in TWENTY lives” when the last announcement was TWENTY SHOWS AGO?!?!’
Others joked: “I knew that post meant something” and “I knew it was weird that they said ahhh.”
The historic performance will also be held on June 13, which many detective Swifties have taken as a sign.
One of his new songs has exceeded 100 million views.
It was also announced today that So High School, a song from their eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify.
The song has apparent references to her boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
Some fans think the timing of the achievement aligning with the 100th show is another reason to believe something special will happen tonight.
One social media user wrote: “So High School hit 100 million on the 13th of the month and the day of their 100th show.”
It was also announced today that ‘So High School’, a song from their eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, has surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify.
She wore the same watch necklace she wore at the Grammys
Taylor went to dinner in Notting Hill on Tuesday wearing the same watch necklace she wore to the 2024 Grammys, the night she announced the name of her latest studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.
The singer, known for including Easter eggs (hidden meanings) about future releases in her clothing, has left her fans speculating that she could be preparing to release more news soon.
Taylor’s fans are convinced the star is preparing to make a new announcement after wearing the same watch necklace she wore to the 2024 Grammys.
Taylor last wore the necklace the night she announced the name of her latest studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.
On X, Swifties expressed their excitement over Taylor’s decision to rock the necklace again while out with her famous friends.
Users wrote: ‘Wait, the watch necklace started the ttpd (The Tortured Poets Department) era… what if she’s ending it?’… ‘Another version of TTPD is going down.’
Others added: ‘Last time he wore the watch necklace he announced TTPD’… ‘Taylor I’m so scared of what he’s planning’… ‘Something will be announced tomorrow.’
It’s 13 weeks until the anniversary of his VMA award acceptance that was interrupted by Kanye West.
The final meaning surrounding today’s date that fans believe is important is that it is 13 weeks away from the anniversary of his acceptable VMA award that was interrupted by Kanye West.
In 2009, Kanye stormed the MTV VMAs stage while Taylor, who was 19 at the time, gave an acceptance speech for Best Female Video and declared that Beyoncé’s music video deserved to beat Taylor’s.
During the live broadcast, Kanye took the microphone from Taylor’s hand to tell the audience that Beyoncé’s Single Ladies video deserved the award, instead of Taylor’s You Belong With Me.
The final meaning surrounding today’s date that fans consider important is that it is 13 weeks away from the anniversary of his VMA award, which was interrupted by Kanye West.
On Twitter, Swifties guess what could happen
“Hey Taylor, I’m so happy for you, I’ll let you finish,” Kanye said as he took the stage.
‘But Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!’
Even though the interaction took place so long ago, the moment sparked a long-running feud between the two musicians.
Fans are speculating that he could be announcing the re-recording of his album Reputation, as it has songs that reference his feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
On Twitter, Swifties are guessing: “It’s too perfect a date for a rep: September 13 is the anniversary of Kanye talking about the Taylor Award.”
“If there really is a Taylor announcement coming soon, it will probably be on June 13th or so on Friday, September 13th.”
‘June 13, 13 weeks before September 13, makes me believe the theories that Taylor will announce Rep TV this week. The antics will be forever.’
