Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter are two of the most talked-about artists in pop music today. Swift, already an industry powerhouse thanks to the success of her Eras Tour, continues to dominate charts, while Carpenter is rapidly rising as one of the next big stars. With both having huge fan bases, the possibility of a collaboration has sparked major excitement online.
Swift’s official website recently displayed a cryptic message reading “EXPIRES AUGUST 12 AT 12:12AM ET” along with a countdown timer, which was close to expiring at the time of reporting.
At the same time, Carpenter’s website added a reference to August 12 while announcing her upcoming album: “My new album, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ is out on August 29, 2025. I can’t wait for it to be yours x. Pre-Order Now.”
These parallel updates have fans convinced that Carpenter will be featured on Swift’s upcoming album, currently referred to as TS12, although Swift has yet to confirm this.
One fan pointed out, “August 12th, 2025 is displayed on Sabrina Carpenter’s website — She was also featured in a photo Taylor Nation posted earlier today!” Another noted, “Sabrina Carpenter is rumored to be featured on TS12, as she recently posted ‘Go put on some clothes!’—the same phrase Taylor used when she called Sabrina to perform with her at The Eras Tour last year.”

Other fans echoed the excitement, sharing observations like, “Sir, Sabrina Carpenter has added ‘August 12th’ to her website,” and “Not to freak anyone out but Sabrina’s website also says August 12??”
Combined, the two singers have more than 300 million Instagram followers, amplifying the hype surrounding the potential collaboration.
In addition to the music buzz, Swift has been announced as a special guest on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights Podcast. A teaser clip shows Swift complimenting Kelce’s hoodie, saying, “Such a nice color on you.”
