Taylor Swift's producer drops major hint she's releasing new album this year, say fans

Swifties are hopeful the singer is planning to release another album this year after her producer and friend Jack Antonoff shared a photo with a suspicious timestamp

Taylor Swift could be releasing another album this year, say fans who think Jack Antonoff just shared a major hint.

The musician and producer delighted Swifties when he shared a series of pictures from his room at Electric Lady Studios — and fans spotted a few familiar faces in one of the snaps.

In the seventh picture in the carousel post, Taylor Swift is seen with Sounwave, another songwriter and producer the friends have previously teamed up with. Most recently, the artists collaborated on Taylor's 2022 album 'Midnights', making the 12 21 23 timestamp on the photo rather suspicious, according to fans.

It's prompted rumours the group's working together on new music, while other fans think the timestamp itself is the 'Easter Egg'. As Swifties pointed out, Sounwave previously shared the photo back in February — but without the time stamp — making the new version all the more suspicious.

On X, one fan speculated: "Either Rep TV or TS12 omfg. Considering she dropped TS10 and TS11 instead of reptv the last two times we clowned about it, my money is on the real Rep TV this time." But someone else said: "Everyone saying ts12 or reptv are we SURE this isnt another remix."

Elsewhere, a Swiftie wrote: "Theory: he helped produce the Down Bad remix." Another thought: "The date is telling us something," and on Reddit a fan said: "3, 2, 1!!!!! It’s the countdown numbers!!!! It’s the error glitch numbers!!!"

Either way, fans said they'd love to see Taylor work on more music with Sounwave. "I hope she works with him more. I loveeeeeee the sound of Glitch," one praised. A second added: "NEED more Taylor x Sounwave!! Lavender Haze and Glitch are among my faves off Midnights." A third replied: "Same! Loved that sound, I can never get sick of those songs."
