Taylor Swift's Latest Merch Has Fans Thinking "1989 (Taylor's Version)" is Coming Soon
Fans have been theorizing the drop of 1989 (Taylor's Version) ever since Taylor Swift's first re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor's Version) was released in April. Now though, Swifties are more convinced than ever that we could be getting the new album as soon as this week.
It all started when Taylor released a new line of merch on her site. The swag, which is called "Just a Summer Thing" collection, features a towel, coverup, scrunchies and more, all in the color scheme of browns, purples, blues, and greens. Those colors and the vibe of the products are reminding fans of the seagull sweatshirt Taylor wears on the cover of the original 1989 album. Of course, Swifties are convinced she's hinting at something.
Tell us that 1989 is coming without telling us that 1989 is coming💙🤍💙🤍 #1989TaylorsVersion https://t.co/Ydvf8TUb1a pic.twitter.com/GW9fyzOCcB

The merch is also covered in 1989. Of course, that could easily be explained away considering it's the year Taylor was born.
The fact Taylor could've put 1313 for the numbers but decided to put 1989 instead.✋😭 #1989TaylorsVersionISCOMING #1989TaylorsVersion #TaylorSwift pic.twitter.com/zi82uc1szr

Naturally, the Swifties went even deeper. The name of the merch collection comes from the Folklore song, Betty: "In the garden, would you trust me/If I told you it was just a summer thing?" Coincidentally (or not), that song also includes the line, "I'm only 17, I don't know anything." Because of that, fans think 1989 (Taylor's Version) may drop on June 17th, which is a Thursday, the day of the week when Taylor has been known to drop music and announcements.
“ IM ONLY 17, I DONT KNOW ANYTHING”
BITCH JUNE 17 IS THURSDAY

Another theory is that the album will drop on they day the merch becomes available, August 6, which is a Friday, a common day to release music.
Omg it says 1989 on it and the release date for all the merch is August 6th, could that be when 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is being released!? 💖#TaylorSwift #TaylorsVersion #1989TaylorsVersion #1989TaylorsVersionISCOMING pic.twitter.com/PYEplfXdvD

Just to be safe, I'm going to cancel all my plans on both those days and hope for the best.
