While many Taylor Swift fans were convinced 1989 was the next album she would be re-recording, Swift did give a few signs that it would actually be Red.

Although Swift seemingly sprinkled several 1989 Easter eggs into a springtime interview with Stephen Colbert and released summer merch with a somewhat 1989 aesthetic, it was Red (Taylor’s Version) that was ultimately announced on Friday (June 18).

“This will be the first time you hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red. And hey, one of them is even ten minutes long. Red (Taylor’s Version) will be out November 19,” she said.

Whether you were happy or confused by the Red reveal, see some of Swift’s hints that you might have missed below.

Four Red Hearts on a Tweet

From five holes in the fence to four hearts in the tweet … sleuthing Swifties take notice. On June 6, Swift tweeted about her love for her fans in reaction to Evermore’s return to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with some telltale emojis.

Ending a note with four red hearts probably seems of minor importance to most people, but it it might be the most obvious signal Swift gave to fans that the re-recording of Red, which was her fourth studio album, was looming.

A Casual Use of a Red Lyric

While promoting the Evermore vinyl release earlier in June, Swift just so happened to make the most of an opportunity to reference the “like, ever” lyric from Red single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” “You guys went and did the nicest thing this week and broke the record for biggest vinyl sales week.. like ever?” she quipped.

Her Red-Era Look at the Brits

Swift’s glam look at the 2021 Brit Awards in May was all long hair, bangs and red lips straight out of 2012. Plus, the snapshots she shared with fans had a feeling and filter reminiscent of that from her original Red album art.

She Sent Olivia Rodrigo a ‘Red’ Ring

Swift generously mailed a gift to Olivia Rodrigo back in March, and what was in that package might have been one of the earliest indications that Red was on her mind: “Like 12 hours ago, I got a package from her with this like handwritten note,” Rodrigo shared with SiriusXM Hits. “And she gave me this ring because she said she wore one just like it when she wrote Red and she wanted me to have one like it.”

Swift wore a “Love” ring for her original Red album. For Red (Taylor’s Version), a custom version of that same ring design — featuring the word “Red” instead — is prominently shown on the album cover art.

Literally Winking at Swifties in This Clip

“Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person,” Swift said in her announcement of Red (Taylor’s Version). You could say that long story short, it was a bad time/the wrong guy/she survived — and, as fans realized later, it turns out that in a short Spotify video accompanying Evermore’s “Long Story Short,” Swift was actually wearing the same coat and cap that became her cover look for Red (Taylor’s Version).

And in that clip, Swift winks.

Will Smith is ready to open up about his life story.

Penguin Press announced Sunday that Smith will release his memoir called Will on Nov. 9. The actor-rapper shared a photo of the book’s cover art to more than 54 million of his followers on Instagram.

Smith said he is “finally ready” to release the memoir after working on the book for two years. His book will be published by Penguin Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House and co-authored by Mark Manson, the author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F(asterisk)ck.

“It’s been a labor of love,” Smith said in his post.

Smith will also narrate the audiobook of Will from Penguin Random House Audio.

Will looks to tell a story about Smith’s life and career. The book will delve into him being raised in West Philadelphia to entering superstardom as an actor and rapper. He’s a two-time Academy Award nominee and a four-time Grammy winner.

Smith starred in the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Bad Boys, Men in Black and Pursuit of Happyness. He’s won Grammys for “Summertime,” “Men in Black,” “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” and “Parents Just Don’t Understand.”

Scott Swift was trending on Twitter Sunday afternoon, thanks to Taylor Swift’s Father’s Day tweet about her dad — and his guitar picks.

“Happy Father’s Day to all the dads but mostly mine, who called me yesterday to remind me he still has guitar picks from the Red Tour, ‘if they’re needed,’” Taylor wrote on June 20.

Swift’s message about her father finding his Red Tour memorabilia arrived two days after she announced that Red (Taylor’s Version) is the next re-recorded album she’ll be releasing.

The new recording of her 2012 album, with “all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red,” is coming on Nov. 19.

Swift released her re-recorded version of Fearless in April. In 2019, she announced plans to re-record her first six studio albums after Scooter Braun acquired her master recordings.
