Sao Paulo, Brazil: Taylor Swift's fans were left disappointed when she did not make a significant announcement during her final show of 2023 as they had anticipated.
Swift is reportedly currently in the process of re-recording her early discography, releasing them as Taylor’s Versions.
This time around, fans were eagerly anticipating an announcement about Reputation (Taylor’s Version) at the Eras Tour Rio show. However, their expectations were not met.
Swift's lack of comment on the recent Rep TV theories has sparked a playful trend of self-mockery among her loyal followers, affectionately known as the Swifties.
