From Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour costumes to her recent piano malfunction, Swifties have been spotting Reputation (Taylor’s Version) easter eggs everywhere lately — and now they think they’ve found a big one in Paris. On July 28, NBC released an ad for their primetime coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics featuring a recording of Swift’s popular Reputation track …Ready For It?
“Are you ready for it? Baby, let the games begin. Let the games begin. Let the games begin,” Swift sings over inspirational footage from past competitions, this year’s opening ceremony, and quotes from some of Team USA. Simone Biles closed out the ad, asking viewers, “Are you guys ready for it?”
Swift also shared the video on her own Instagram Story, writing, “So ready to scream at my tv cheering for these athletes.”
Considering Swift recently cleared the track for Biles to use during her floor routine, this might not seem like a big deal to the casual viewer. However, the specific version of the song has sparked a major debate among Swifties.
You see, instead of using Reputation from the 2017 album, NBC was given a live recording from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. While some fans predict Swift is planning to release an entire Eras Tour album, others are sure this was another clue that the highly-anticipated Reputation re-recording is on its way.
“The real swifties know why this song was chosen 😉,” one fan commented on NBC’s TikTok, while another wrote, “IT HAS TO BE REP TV.”
Meanwhile, other fans believe we all missed an easter egg leading up to this easter egg. One TikTok user shared a photo of Travis Kelce wearing his Team USA Olympics hat to an Eras Tour concert in London, setting their post to Swift’s Exile lyrics, “I gave so many signs.”
“Now the hat makes sense,” one user wrote in the comments. “I couldn’t figure out why he’d be wearing that… seemed like an old dad hat like his attire for his new beer commercial!”
Of course, not everyone is convinced. One user replied, “Why would this be a sign of anything other than him cheering on team USA?” Because it’s more fun this way, Ashley!

If Swifties are right that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are using the Olympics to tease the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version), when do they think the big announcement is actually going to happen? According to one fan, it’s all comes down Swift’s favourite number. As the user predicted, “13 days after the Olympics start is 8/8 😳👀.”
The question remains: Are you ready for it?
