Taylor Swift Fans Convinced She’s About to Collab With A-List Pop Star originally appeared on Parade.
Fans of Taylor Swift, known as Swifties, are counting down the minutes until the singer’s big announcement on Aug. 12, but until then, they continue to speculate on what’s coming next from the star.
One major theory is that a collaboration is coming, with Swift teaming up with one of the biggest names in music right now, Sabrina Carpenter.
While Carpenter opened for Swift on a bunch of her Eras Tour dates, what started the speculation about an upcoming collab was the official Taylor Nation update on Aug. 11 with the caption, “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…’ ❤️🔥.”

Fans immediately started trying to connect the dots, with comments about Carpenter’s inclusion like, “A SABRINA COLLAB???!!! OH I’M READYYYY,” and, “WAIT IS THE LAST PIC A HINT FOR A SONG WITH SABRINA?????”
“And a Sabrina collab comingg?!?! 👀,” wrote another Swiftie.
The speculation grew when, after Swift launched the countdown on her official website, a peculiar change was noticed on Carpenter’s website as well. One fan highlighted the detail, which showed the front page of Carpenter’s site featuring the text, “August 12th, 2025,” above her previous update about her upcoming album.

While many fans confirmed that Carpenter’s website updates daily to show the date, others questioned why, if the page is updated according to the user’s timezone, the site changed to Aug. 12 early, on Aug. 11.
Along with this, at the time of writing, the main page listed Aug. 12, while Carpenter’s store page still read Aug. 11, adding to some fans’ belief that the detail held significance. Only time will tell if Swift’s big announcement on Aug. 12 includes a connection to Carpenter.
