Taylor Swift will perform in Liverpool on Thursday during the 100th show of her global Eras tour – and fans think the megastar singer will do something special to celebrate the achievement
It is the 100th show of the Eras tour
The most obvious clue that the pop star is planning something special for her first Liverpool date is that it is also the 100th show of the Eras tour.
Taylor’s record-breaking tour kicked off on March 17, 2023 and has since traveled through Europe, Australia, South and North America.
Now she’s on English soil after completing a sold-out three-night run in Edinburgh for the 97th, 98th and 99th shows.
Fans took to
“How am I going to be at the 100th show on the 13th?” I still can’t believe this is real.’
“The fact that there will be casual fans attending the show tonight without knowing it’s the 100th show on the 13th. In the meantime I’m at home with a menty b.’
‘Happy 100th era’s show on the 13th for anyone celebrating or scared.’

It takes place on the 13th
The historic performance also falls on June 13, which many sleuthing Swifties have taken as a sign.
Thirteen is Taylor’s lucky number and it has become a symbol among her fanbase, who often write the number on the back of their hands when attending her shows.
In a 2009 interview with MTV News, the singer explained, “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold within 13 weeks.
‘Also my first song that ever became number 1 had a 13 second intro, I didn’t even do that on purpose! And every time I’ve ever won an award at an awards ceremony, I’ve either been in the thirteenth row or in row M, which is the thirteenth letter.”
Taylor was born on December 13, 1989, which makes today her “half birthday.”
Fans tweeted, “I’m not sure WHAT’s going to happen, but the fact that the 100th show JUST HAPPENED to land on the 13th of the month AND Taylor’s half birthday makes it undeniable that something is happening. Nothing is by chance with her.’
“Not to add fuel to the fire, but June 13th aka the 100th show is also Taylor’s half birthday.”
From a new album, to a re-recording, to a shocking guest appearance, the Anti Hero singer’s devoted followers have been speculating on social media about what could be in store later this evening.
The last announcement was 20 shows ago
An eagle-eyed fan pointed out that Taylor’s marketing team, Taylor Nation, tweeted, “When #TSTheErasTour happens in daylight, it’s easier for Taylor to watch your golden love stories unfold.” We enjoy celebrating your unique moments in twenty lives with you!’
Kira, posting under the handle @kiralovestaylorwrote, “Not that they said ‘once in twenty lifetimes’ when the last announcement was TWENTY SHOWS AGO?!?!”
Others joked, “I knew that post meant something” and “I knew it was weird of them to say ahhh.”

One of her new songs has surpassed 100 million streams
Today it was also announced that So High School, a song from her eleventh studio album The Tortured Poets Department, has surpassed 100 million Spotify streams.
The song contains obvious references to her boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
Some fans think the timing of the performance, coinciding with the 100th show, is another reason to believe something special will happen tonight.
One social media user wrote, “So High School hits 100 million on the 13th of the month and the day of its 100th show.”

She wore the same bell necklace she wore to the Grammys
Taylor went out for dinner in Notting Hill on Tuesday wearing the same bell necklace she wore to the 2024 Grammys, the night she announced the name of her latest studio album The Tortured Poets Department.
The singer, who has been known to incorporate Easter Eggs (hidden meanings) about future releases into her clothes, has fans speculating that she might be getting ready to release more news soon.
Taylor fans are convinced the star is getting ready to make another announcement after she wore the same bell chain as she did at the 2024 Grammys
Taylor last wore the necklace on the night she announced the name of her latest studio album The Tortured Poets Department
Swifties took to X and expressed their excitement over Taylor’s decision to wear the necklace again while out and about with her famous friends.
Users wrote: ‘Wait, the clock chain started the TTPD (The Tortured Poets Department) era… what if she ends it?’… ‘Another version of TTPD is coming out.’
Others added, “The last time she wore the bell chain she announced TTPD”… “Taylor I’m so scared what she’s planning”… “Something will be announced tomorrow.”
It’s 13 weeks before the anniversary of her VMA award acceptance, which was interrupted by Kanye West
The final meaning surrounding today’s date that fans care about is that there are still 13 weeks until the anniversary of her acceptable VMA award, which was interrupted by Kanye West.
In 2009, Kanye stormed the stage at the MTV VMAs as Taylor, who was 19 at the time, was giving an acceptance speech for best female video and declaring that Beyonce’s music video deserved to win Taylor’s.
During the live broadcast, Kanye grabbed the microphone from Taylor’s hand to tell the audience that Beyoncé’s Single Ladies video deserved the award, instead of Taylor’s You Belong With Me.

Via Twitter, Swifties guess what could happen
“Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish,” Kanye said as he took the stage.
“But Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!’
Despite the fact that the interaction took place so long ago, the moment sparked a long-lasting feud between the two musicians.
Fans are speculating that she could be announcing the re-recording of her album Reputation as it features songs referencing her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
On Twitter, Swifties surmised: “It’s too perfect a date for reputation – September 13 is the birthday of Kanye talking about the Taylor Award.”
“If there really is a Taylor announcement coming soon, it will probably be on June 13 or Friday, September 13.”
“Since June 13 is 13 weeks before September 13, I kind of believe the theories that Taylor will announce Rep TV this week. Clowning will be forever.”
