Did Taylor Swift’s Snake Necklace Hint at ‘Reputation’ Rerecording?

The Reputation rumors continue.
On Monday, March 17, Taylor Swift fueled speculation that a Taylor’s Version of her sixth studio album is imminent when she wore a silver snake necklace in a video message during the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. 
Swift, 35, scored multiple awards including Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year (for The Tortured Poets Department), Best Lyrics (“Fortnight”), and Favorite Surprise Guest, a win she shared with boyfriend Travis Kelce stemming from his cameo during one of her 2024 Eras Tour concerts in London. 
This year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards were held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. In her video appearance, Swift sported a sleek black sweater and plaid miniskirt that she paired with a gold watch and that serpentine necklace.

Taylor Swift fans are back on “Clowneria Street” about the debut of Reputation (Taylor’s Version) all because of one aptly titled handbag the pop star wore on Saturday, October 12. Swift, 34, stepped out with boyfriend Travis Kelce in New York City on Saturday, where she carried the Mirror Snake Shoulder Bag by Roberto Cavalli. […]

Her fans, naturally, were all abuzz on social media. 
“That necklace tho,” Flavor Flav wrote via X. “If ya know ya know.”
Another (less famous) fan speculated, “rep tv in the air,” while others echoed the prediction with giddy excitement. All Swifties know that the snake was the mascot of the pop star’s 2017 album, which had a darker, edgier vibe than she had shown previously. The singer has re-recorded a number of her past albums in an effort to reclaim her masters, but she has yet to release a new version of Reputation.

While performing “… Ready for It?” and “Delicate” on her Eras Tour, Swift donned two bodysuits with flashy snake embroidery — her sultry costumes proved as big a hit as Reputation‘s pulsating beats and cutting lyrics, which have gathered many more admirers over time. 
“This tour was absolutely the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life … and it really was the most gratifying thing I’ve ever done,” Swift said Monday. “It blows my mind, and I’m never gonna stop being grateful for it.”

She then introduced a two-year-old recording of a tour performance of “Mirrorball,” a song from 2020’s Folklore album. 
Swift has been keeping a low profile since the tour ended in December 2024 and Kelce’s NFL season concluded last month. As she and her beau, also 35, spend time together away from the spotlight, a source exclusively told Us Weekly in February that “Taylor and Travis work so well [together]. They’re still madly in love, and their relationship just keeps getting better and better.”

Last Friday, March 14, Swift and Kelce were spotted in New York City, where they enjoyed a private dinner date at Del Frisco’s Grille at Brookfield Place. The night before, they dined at the Crane Club with a group of acquaintances until the early morning.
“Travis and four of his friends arrived,” the eyewitness exclusively told Us Weekly. “Taylor didn’t arrive until 11 p.m. There were seven people there, including them. They all stayed until 3 a.m. The group were all laughing and having a great time.”
According to the eyewitness, Swift and Kelce were “very cute” throughout the night and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end often “had his arm [wrapped] around” her.
