LONDON — Taylor Swift played the final song from “Reputation” and the 92,000 fans in Wembley Stadium screeched so loud thinking it would lead to the rerelease announcement of the singer’s sixth album.
“So the whole tour I’ve done hundreds of songs, but I haven’t done one of my favorite songs,” Swift said and thousands of fans screamed at the top of their lungs.
“I feel like I’ve made best friends in this crowd,” she continued. “I feel like I’ve seen Tony Award winning dancing … so I’m going to do something I’ve never done on the tour cause you’re that awesome.”
The light-up wristbands on every concert attendee glowed bright blue until Swift sang the first line, “I never trust a narcissist.”
In less time than a snap, the wristbands changed to bright green.

The line is from “I Did Something Bad” on “Reputation,” and fans have theorized that when the singer would decide to play it, she would also announce her rerelease. It was the only “Reputation” song Swift had yet to sing on the Eras Tour.
Ashleigh Jade, a Swiftie influencer from Australia, was live on Instagram. She couldn’t contain her excitement. “I’m so so sorry you guys, I don’t mean to scream,” she apologized.
“Rep TV is coming, Rep TV is coming,” Swifties in the crowd reiterated. Eyes kept flashing to the back screen hoping new artwork would appear with a release date. As the singer made her way through the bridge and chorus, fans added their own sound effect heard on the studio version, “rat-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.”
Swift wrapped the song and everyone held their breath.
“I’m shaking,” Jade said. “I’m so sorry I’m shaking.”
Swift set down her guitar and played a mashup of “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” from “The Tortured Poets Department” and “Coney Island” from “Evermore.”
The announcement never came, but Jade said she had one of the most memorable nights.
“I can’t believe what I just saw,” she said.
Swift has two more shows left for Wembley Stadium and the European leg of the tour. This is ready.
