If Taylor Swift's clock choker is set to midnight, then that's not exactly a surprise. Her most recent original album was, of course, called "Midnights," which won Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year at the 2024 Grammys. So, it could just be a cheeky nod to her record-setting record. But, knowing Swift, a big hint may be more likely than a simple reference. In 2019, she lost the rights to her music to record executive Scooter Braun. The world-conquering pop star has been busily rerecording her back catalog ever since. Swift's rerecorded albums have been a major success, and she still has more to tackle.
Many fans believe that her version of her album, "Reputation," is the next one she'll release, and some reckon that the clock choker confirms it. In the music video for "Karma," Swift holds a cup of coffee with a clock pattern in the foam. She holds one side of the cup with a blue-painted fingernail and the other side with a black fingernail.
The black one is positioned next to the three, and it just so happens that black is the signature color of "Reputation." If Swift's clock choker is set to 3:15, some fans reason that this is a hint that the clock in the video would be pointing toward that black fingernail. By the same token, Swift loves to include hints in dates. Maybe she'll drop her new album on March 15? Time will tell — no pun intended.
