Taylor Swift knows how to send her fans into a meltdown, and she’s done so once again, this time by doing a simple hand gesture at her Eras Tour concerts in Canada.

Over the years, the pop superstar has preceded her album releases with Easter eggs online and during performances. As such, her every move is often taken to have extra meaning by her dedicated fans.

One person posted in the comments, “maybe it’s because there is 4 more shows left,” while another wrote: “something is happening on the last night of eras tour.”

A third user added: “confirmed, in 4 shows we will have an announcement of one of the re-recordings.”

“SHE DOES THIS WHEN SHE SAYS ‘TV’ what if tv means Taylor’s version. Let me dream pls,” someone else commented. “Taylor’s Version” represents the rerecordings of earlier albums that Swift released following a rights dispute with music mogul Scooter Braun . The record executive purchased Big Machine Records, Swift’s first label, in 2019, giving him ownership of her first six albums.
