Taylor Swift is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to building anticipation for the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version). In her latest move, the singer took to Instagram to share a cryptic 14-second video that has fans buzzing. The video teases the five promised “From the Vault” tracks from the album. What makes it intriguing is that it can be interpreted in two different ways.
The video clip consists of the letters “T, S, U, L,” and an exclamation mark. Fans speculate that these letters could either represent the first letters of each of the five tracks or spell out the name of one particular song. It’s a puzzle Swift’s fans are desperately trying to solve, with various theories floating around. Some believe the letters signify the starting five letters of the tracks, while others suggest they point to a song named “Lust!”
Adding to the mystery, Swift captioned the video with a nod to her 1989 hit song “Blank Space.” She wrote, “You can tell me when the *search* is over… if the high was worth the pain.” This enigmatic message only fueled further speculation and excitement among her loyal fanbase.
The moment Taylor Swift shared the video, social media exploded with conversations and reactions about the upcoming release. Fans flooded the comments section with their thoughts and interpretations. Some sarcastically noted how they were itching to solve the puzzle for Swift, while others eagerly shouted about “THE VAULT!”
During her final Eras Tour show at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, Taylor Swift revealed that 1989 (Taylor’s Version) would be her next release, scheduled for October 27th, the ninth anniversary of the original album’s launch in 2014. The re-recorded album will include a total of 21 tracks. These will comprise the original 16 songs from 1989 and five additional tracks from the “From the Vault” collection. The Tangerine Edition will also feature a sixth bonus track, making it a highly anticipated and extensive release.
As the release date approaches, fans have eagerly speculated on the contents of the “From the Vault” tracks. Swift enthusiasts have put forth various theories about the subjects and possible featured artists on these songs.

Apart from 1989, Taylor Swift has also announced plans to re-record her 2006 self-titled debut album and 2017’s Reputation. While fans wait for these “Taylor’s Versions,” there has been some speculation about whether she will collaborate again with artists featured in the original albums. In an interview, Ed Sheeran confirmed that he had not yet been approached to re-record his verse on the Reputation diss track, “End Game.” However, he expressed excitement about 1989 (Taylor’s Version) while discussing his friendship with Swift.
Ed Sheeran, who has previously collaborated with Taylor Swift on songs like “Everything Has Changed” and “Run (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” expressed a desire to attend her sold-out tour. Unfortunately, due to their overlapping tour dates, Sheeran revealed that they would be performing on the same weekends, making it challenging for him to be in the audience. Nevertheless, their friendship and admiration for each other’s work continue to shine through.
