Swifties really want Taylor Swift to announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version).

The 35-year-old singer has released four of her re-recorded albums out of the six eligible. While she still needs to release a re-recording of her first self-titled album from 2006, fans have been clamoring for her 2017 album Reputation.

Fans think that Taylor has been dropping hints as the singer is known for Easter Eggs on her social media and in her outfits. But the latest alleged hint may have come from the episode of the hit trivia show Jeopardy! that aired an hour before the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17.

That Monday night episode of Jeopardy! had a category titled “‘Bad’ Entertainment.’” Contestant Brett Aresco, a writer and content strategist from Fairhope, Alabama, got the Daily Double in that category, which was a nod to one of Taylor’s songs.

Ken Jennings read out: “In a 2015 No. 1 hit, ‘Cause baby now we’ve got’ this, ‘You know it used to be mad love.’” The answer was Bad Blood, a song off of Taylor’s 1989 album.

One fan on X, formally known as Twitter, in a now-deleted tweet theorized that the singer being mentioned on the show might be a clue that she’ll be announcing Reputation (Taylor’s Version) tonight at the iHeartRadio Music Awards where Taylor will be honored with the “Tour of the Century” award for her record-breaking Eras Tour.

She’s also up for Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration, and Pop Artist of the Year. Taylor already won fan-voted awards like Best Lyrics and Best Music Video for Fortnight; Favorite On Screen for the Eras Tour film; Favorite Tour Style; Favorite Tour Traditions for her surprise songs; and Favorite Surprise Guest for when her boyfriend Travis Kelce came on stage during one show.

Taylor is also the most awarded artist in the history of the award show, having won 25 awards as of last year’s show and also holds the record for most nominations at 53.

Performers this year include Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, GloRilla, Gracie Abrams, Kenny Chesney, Muni Long, and Nelly. Taylor Swift will “perform” as well with a pre-recorded performance from her Eras Tour stop at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards take place at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California, and will be hosted by rapper LL Cool J. At the show, various celebrities will be honored with achievement awards.

According to a list of nominees given by the award show, Mariah Carey will receive the Icon Award for her decades-long “incredible and influential career as singer, songwriter, and producer, who has broken virtually every chart and touring record around the globe.” Nelly will be given the Landmark Award, which is given to those who shaped and inspired culture over decades.

Lady Gaga, who recently released her album Mayhem last week, is honored with the Innovator Award for going “beyond creating music and performances that have inspired the world, and an outspoken activist, philanthropist and supporter of many important issues.”

Last year’s show was hosted by Ludacris and included performances from Justin Timberlake, Green Day, Tate McRae, and Cher featuring Jennifer Hudson. SZA’s song Kill Bill won the coveted Best Song Award last year.
