Taylor Swift’s Mysterious Snake Necklace Sends Fans Into a Frenzy—Is ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’ Finally on the Way?

Taylor Swift knows how to get her fans talking, and her latest fashion statement has set off a wave of speculation. During a virtual appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2025, where her Eras Tour was honored as the Tour of the Century, Swift sported a silver choker resembling a snake—immediately fueling rumors that Reputation (Taylor’s Version) could be on the horizon.

The singer, 34, kept her outfit simple, wearing a long-sleeved black sweater and a plaid Miu Miu miniskirt. However, it was the snake necklace that caught fans’ attention, reviving memories of the Reputation era, which featured heavy snake imagery after her infamous feud with Kim Kardashian in 2016.

Fans Believe “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” Is Coming Soon

Social media exploded with reactions, with one fan posting, “IS THAT A SNAKE NECKLACE?” while another wrote, “rep tv in the air.” Even hip-hop legend and longtime Swiftie, Flavor Flav, chimed in on the conversation.

Swift previously embraced the snake motif when releasing her 2017 album Reputation, turning the once-negative symbol into an empowering theme. The album was a direct response to the backlash she faced following Kardashian’s social media posts, which led to the viral “snake” association. She incorporated snake designs into her outfits, album visuals, and even brought a massive inflatable cobra on tour.

Now, with Reputation being one of only two albums left for Swift to re-record, fans are convinced this jewelry choice was a calculated Easter egg hinting at an imminent release.

Swift Reflects on the Eras Tour in Video Message

While her necklace stole the spotlight, Swift’s speech also made headlines. She expressed gratitude for the massive success of the Eras Tour, calling it the most challenging yet rewarding experience of her career.

“This tour was absolutely the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life, and it really was the most gratifying thing,” she said. “It blows my mind, and I’m never gonna stop being grateful for it.”

She then introduced a pre-recorded performance of Mirrorball, filmed two years ago during the first Eras show in Glendale, Arizona.

Taylor Swift’s Fashion Continues to Spark Theories

Swift has long been known for dropping hints through her fashion choices. Earlier this year, she made headlines at the Grammys and Super Bowl with a ruby “T” pendant, co-designed with Lorraine Schwartz, which fans speculated was a tribute to her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce.

While Swift may be taking a break following the conclusion of the Eras Tour, her ability to send fans into a frenzy with subtle details remains unmatched. With speculation at an all-time high, Swifties are now waiting for the next big clue—possibly confirming the long-awaited release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version).
