The Swifties are spiraling.
Taylor Swift put her fans in a frenzy Friday morning when they discovered her eponymous debut album from 2006 and 2017’s “Reputation” appeared to be removed from Spotify.
Fans quickly theorized that the mysterious disappearance could mean that the pop star was gearing up to finally release the “Taylor’s Version” re-recordings of “Taylor Swift” and “Reputation.” Meanwhile, others believed that the albums were taken off the music streaming platform by mistake and just a bug.
“THERE’S NO REPUTATION OR DEBUT STOLEN VERSION ON SPOTIFY OMG WHAT THE F–K IS HAPPENING EVERYBODY CALM DOWN,” one person wrote via X Friday, along with a screen recording of Swift’s tracks currently listed on the app.
“‘Debut’ and ‘reputation’ were REMOVED from Taylor Swift’s Spotify page!” a fan account confirmed.
At the time of publication, Swift’s debut album seemed to be back up on her Spotify discography page. However, “Reputation” is seemingly still missing.
The pop sensation, 35, has already released re-recorded versions of four of her albums due to a dispute over the ownership of her discography with music label Big Machine Records and former music manager Scooter Braun. The escalated feud ended with Braun, 43, and the label gaining full ownership of those original recordings.

In order to take back ownership of the first six albums she wrote, Swift famously dropped “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” and “Red (Taylor’s Version)” in 2021.
She then released “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” in 2023.
The 14-time Grammy winner has been teasing the re-recording of her sixth studio album for quite some time now.
Supporters believe the “Cruel Summer” artist may be gearing up to announce the updated tracks at the Grammy Awards next month, considering she announced her “The Tortured Poets Department” album at last year’s ceremony.
At the time, fans believed she would be dropping Rep TV because she walked the red carpet in a dark and moody ensemble inspired by her “Reputation” album aesthetic.
The artist, who described her “Reputation” era as “a goth-punk moment of female rage,” often drops “Easter Eggs” before announcing new projects.
Instead, Swift told fans she would be releasing “TTPD” while accepting the trophy for best pop vocal album for “Midnights” — the album she released in 2022.
