The Surprising Reason Taylor Swift Didn't Announce 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' at the AMAs
Many Taylor Swift fans were convinced that last night's American Music Awards would end with a major announcement: the release date for Reputation (Taylor's Version). Their theory? A subtle Easter egg on Swift's website, where the shop categories—Apparel, Music, Accessories, Sale—appeared to spell out 'AMAS.' But the night came and went without a word from Swift—and there's a clear reason why.
Swift didn't win any of the six awards she was nominated for, leaving her without a chance to make an acceptance speech—and with it, no moment to share an album announcement. In fact, she skipped the Las Vegas ceremony entirely and remained silent on social media throughout the event.
Swift did drop a subtle Reputation tease in March at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, where she accepted the Tour of the Century award via a virtual speech. Eagle-eyed fans noticed she was wearing a snake necklace—a clear nod to the Reputation era's aesthetic. She wore an even more dramatic version of the same accessory in the 'Look What You Made Me Do' music video, the lead single from the original album.
The singer has been enjoying a break from the spotlight following the end of her Eras Tour. This weekend, she was spotted far from Vegas in West Palm Beach, Florida, enjoying a dinner date with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Last week, Swift gave a big hint that Reputation (Taylor's Version) is coming when she allowed The Handmaid's Tale use a snippet of 'Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)' in one of its final episodes.
The star hasn't revealed when exactly she'll begin promoting her music. WNBA player Caitlin Clark, who knows both Swift and Kelce, recently shared rare insight into their whereabouts, telling an interviewer that they're 'in vacation mode right now. So I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight.'

Blake Lively loses motion shielding Taylor Swift texts from Justin Baldoni
NEW YORK — Justin Baldoni scored a legal win Wednesday when a New York judge denied Blake Lively's motion to keep her communications with Taylor Swift out of the actors' legal battle. Judge Lewis J. Liman denied 'Lively's motion for a protective order' meant to shield all communications between the reportedly estranged A-list pals from the case, according to the ruling obtained by Deadline. But Liman ruled the Swift-Lively communications regarding 'It Ends With Us' — which Baldoni, 41, directed and starred in alongside 37-year-old Lively — 'are relevant. 'Lively herself has identified Swift as someone likely to have knowledge about complaints or discussions regarding the working environment on the set of 'It Ends With Us,' said Liman. He also challenged Lively's legal team's position that the communications would be 'duplicative' after Baldoni's lawyers withdrew their subpoena of Swift 'and made public statements that they had 'everything that they needed.' Rather, said Liman, 'The Wayfarer Parties have not yet received any communications between Lively and Swift.' However, Liman did narrow the scope of Baldoni's initial sprawling request to only permit communications about the film or the ongoing case, as 'Lively has represented that Swift had knowledge of complaints or discussions about the working environment on the film, among other issues.' Baldoni and the rest of the Wayfarer Parties were also cautioned against 'leak[ing] the requested communications to the press,' per a court-issued protective order. 'The mere fact that the request has been discussed in the press does not render it illegitimate.' In late December, Lively filed a complaint and lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment on the film's set and a retaliatory online smear campaign. He filed a $400 million defamation and civil extortion countersuit against the actress, her husband Ryan Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane — which Liman dismissed last week. The judge simultaneously dismissed Baldoni's $250 million libel action against The New York Times' reporting of the allegations. Baldoni has until next week to amend the claims for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract. The case is slated for trial next March.
