*Spoilers for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour ahead! Don't say I didn't warn ya.*

It's me, hi, a girlie who's seen the Eras Tour IRL and in a cozy movie theater chair, and I know what you're all thinking: are there any Easter eggs in the Eras Tour movie? For starters, Taylor Swift plans Easter eggs a cool three years in advance and has PDF files to keep track of them all so, yeah, she probs stuck a couple in her blockbuster hit.

We all know that Swifties pretty much have the collective brain power of the FBI (see: how they unlocked the song titles from Tay's 1989 vault and practically broke Google), and there are still two re-recorded album announcements on the horizon. That means there's still work to be done, people!

However, I can also vouch for those who may not have the mental capacity to count holes in a fence and tie them back to a grandiose album theory. I see you and I am with you, babe! That's why I'm laying out Easter eggs in Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie 👇 right here 👇 so you never miss a beat.

The countdown clock

If you touched down at the Eras Tour IRL, then you already know that there's a countdown that plays ahead of Taylor's 3.5-hour set with Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" as its soundtrack. The countdown plays for 2 minutes and 23 seconds, which has led Swifties to believe that Reputation (Taylor's Version) may be announced—or released—in February. For the sake of its runtime, the countdown is shortened to 13 seconds in the movie.

*Clears throat* Further proof to back this theory? You've got it. In the "Karma" music video, Taylor holds a latte with clock-inspired foam art. Her nails are also painted different colors to align with each era—while her blue 1989 nail is aligned with "8" on the clock to symbolize an August announcement date, her black Reputation nail aligns with the "2." 👀

The 13th song on the set list changes in the movie

Sadly, seven songs were cut from the Eras Tour movie to make the most of its runtime (but at least we still have "Long Live" in the credits!). That means there's a slightly different setlist to raise our magnifying glasses toward, and—what do ya know! The 13th track in the movie is, indeed, a song off of Reputation.

While the 13th song on the Eras Tour is Evermore's "Champagne Problems," it swaps to none other than Reputation's album opener, "...Ready For It?"in the film. Could a Reputation (Taylor's Version) announcement be coming soon?

The songs in the movie are still surprises

At this point, dedicated fans pretty much have all of Taylor's surprise songs memorized so when it comes to the Eras movie, we didn't know which pairing to expect. The movie was filmed during two of Taylor's LA shows at SoFi Stadium, which narrowed down the surprise songs to four choices. In the movie, she goes with "Our Song" and "You're On Your Own, Kid." 🥹

"Our Song"—a sweet country love song penned by teenage T. Swift for a school talent show—holds a slot on her self-titled debut album. Taylor played the surprise song on August 4 during her show at LA's SoFi Stadium, which is one of the two dates the movie was filmed.

One of her first songs off of the highly-anticipated re-release of her debut album has led fans to believe that it may be dropped soon—especially because the Grammy winner has barely performed songs off the album during the Eras Tour.

Easter eggs aside, Taylor Swift has two albums—which represent both her name and her reputation—left to drop... and it could honestly happen at any second now. 😅
