Uncovering the clues! Taylor Swift is basking in the success of Midnights — but she might already be gearing up to drop her next rerecorded album.
The Grammy winner, 32, broke records with her 10th studio album, which became available on Friday, October 21. A video for lead single “Anti-Hero” was released the same day, featuring star-studded cameos by John Early, Mike Birbiglia and Mary Elizabeth Ellis.
Swift later appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, October 24, moments before the debut of the “Bejeweled” music video. The visual was inspired by Cinderella and stars even more of the Amsterdam actress’ famous friends, from the Haim sisters to Jack Antonoff — with Laura Dern taking on the role of evil stepmother.

It’s a one-scene script in which you are going to call me ‘a tired, tacky wench,'” the “Cardigan” performer recalled on the late-night show of how she got in touch with the Big Little Lies alum, who she said was the “coolest” about the entire concept. “[Directing her was] easier than anything I’ve ever done in my life.”
Swift went on to describe the “Bejeweled” video as something special for “fans who like certain things like glitter and Easter eggs and lots of little cameos.”
Fittingly for her Midnights era, the music video was released when the clock struck 12 a.m. on Tuesday. Fans were quick to parse through the footage for hidden meaning — and many are convinced they cracked Swift’s code, claiming she revealed Speak Now will be the next album to get the Taylor’s Version treatment.
