Taylor Swift Is Reportedly Already Working On New Music

Taylor Swift is always hard at work on new music, no matter what else she has going on at the moment. The singer-songwriter is certainly gearing up for her next major musical chapter, and work on another collection of some kind seems to have already started – at least, if a recent comment from a Swedish DJ is to be believed.

In a new interview originally posted by Universal Music Sweden, Jacob Criborn, one-half of the production duo Nause, appeared to casually reveal that he’s been involved in Swift’s latest recording efforts. While discussing recent collaborations, Criborn mentioned working with multi-instrumentalist Erik Arvinder on a composition featuring a wide range of sounds, including both string and wind instruments. Then, almost as an aside, he added in his language, “Vi ska bara göra klart Taylor Swift’s platta.” For those who don’t speak Swedish, that reportedly translates to, “We’re just finishing Taylor Swift’s album.”

The quote was quickly flagged by fans on social media, as nothing connected to the superstar misses her eagle-eyed following. The X account TSUpdating – one of many fan-focused profiles on the site – shared the clip, turning it into a trending topic in no time.

It’s unclear whether Criborn was referring to a full-length collection of brand new songs or if he might be contributing to one of Swift’s forthcoming re-releases. At this point, she still has two left to unveil: her self-titled debut and Reputation.

Swift hasn’t officially announced anything yet, and her team is staying quiet. That’s typically the case. She has no need to confirm or deny anything until she’s ready to roll out another masterful marketing plan – but even the possibility of new material is enough to send fans into a frenzy.

It’s only been about a year since Swift released her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s taking a break. That set, which debuted to massive first-week numbers, appears to have largely wrapped up its promotional cycle. None of its singles are still charting in the U.S., though the project itself continues to do well.

If Criborn’s comment turns out to be accurate, this could be the earliest confirmation yet that Swift is already deep into her next phase. Of course, the phrase “finishing Taylor Swift’s album” could mean a lot of things — especially in an industry where timelines are always shifting. Whether it’s a new studio album, another Taylor’s Version, or even just a cut for a separate soundtrack or feature, fans are, of course, excited to hear whatever it may be.
