Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter Tease a Chart-Topping Duet, Swifties on High Alert

20 June 2025

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has already captivated stadiums around the world, but now fans may be predicting a new release one that could involve none other than her opening act, Sabrina Carpenter. Swifties converged on Reddit and fan forums today after spotting a series of hidden “easter eggs” woven into Swift’s June 20 performances, sparking rumors that a duet might be on the way.

It began with subtle but tantalizing clues, matching door numbers in stage lighting, mirrored costume accents between Swift and Carpenter, and a shared lyric dropped mid-set. By the end of the show, fans were compiling timestamps and screengrabs, convinced that these weren’t coincidences but strategic hints.

On social media, threads exploded. On Reddit’s r/TaylorSwift, one user pointed to a repeated "12" motif (Swift’s favoured number) and another noted a wink between the two performers after Carpenter concluded her opening number. “They’re aligning their aesthetics on multiple levels,” one wrote. “It feels staged, not random.” Another speculated Carpenter’s next single could be a Swift co-write, citing Swift’s recent burst of studio productivity .

Theories also suggest the surprise release could come soon, some fans reference cryptic comments from event insiders and suggest the song might appear while the tour is still in full swing. If true, a June or July drop would align with Swift’s pattern of mid-tour music drops, like her recent Something Beautiful release.

Whether this turns out to be a collaborative track debuting on car radios or another playful "Swift & Carpenter surprise," one thing is certain: Swifties are mobilized. They’re dissecting lyrics, comparing outfits, and rewatching TikToks frame by frame for any sign that this hint could be more than fandom hype.

Of course, Swift’s history of Easter eggs hidden messages in setlists, social posts, album art means a wink or lyrical echo doesn’t always lead to a full-fledged release. Some fans caution that without official confirmation, it’s speculation. Yet this mounting buzz illustrates how fans are increasingly active participants in Swift’s world-building narrative.

If a Sabrina Carpenter collaboration does materialize, it would mark a significant moment in both artists’ careers. Carpenter has already begun carving a distinct niche in pop music with “Bed Chem” and a string of tour dates alongside Swift, and a joint track would cement her status as a major collaborator.

For now, fans are watching the tour like a mystery drama waiting for the payoff. Is this a carefully laid breadcrumb trail for a big announcement? Or just a subtle in-joke between performers? Soon, the world may find out whether this Eras Tour moment becomes chart-topping history or just another piece in Swift’s intricate puzzle.
