Swiftie mania has swept across the city as fans prepare for what is rumoured to be a very important performance.

From a new album, to a re-recording release, to a shock guest appearance, the Anti Hero singer's devoted followers are speculating on social media about what could be in store later this evening.

Rumours are mounting that huge stars such as Florence Welch, Lana Del Rey, or Sir Paul McCartney could be turning up on stage, or that 'something will definitely happen' at the historic show.

MailOnline looks at all the signs and fan theories that point to Taylor doing something special at tonight's sell-out Eras tour performance.

Taylor Swift is set to perform in Liverpool on Thursday at the landmark 100th show of her worldwide Eras tour - and fans think the megastar singer is going to do something special to mark the achievement

It's the 100th show of the Eras tour

The most obvious clue that the popstar is planning something special for her first Liverpool date, is that it is also the 100th show of the Eras tour.

Taylor's record-breaking tour began on March 17 2023 and since travelled through Europe, Australia, South and North America.

Now, she's on English soil after completing a sell-out three-night run in Edinburgh for the 97th, 98th, and 99th shows.

Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their excitement, penning: 'Why does the day before the 100th show feel like Christmas eve and why am I also terrified?'

'How am I gonna be at the 100th show on the 13th I still can’t believe this is real.'

'The fact there will be casual fans attending the show tonight with no idea it’s the 100th show on the 13th.. meanwhile I’m at home having a menty b.' 

'Happy 100th eras show on the 13th for anyone who is celebrating or fearing.'

It's taking place on the 13th

The landmark performance also falls on June 13, which many sleuthing Swifties have taken as a sign.

Thirteen is Taylor's lucky number and it has become a symbol among her fanbase, who often write the number on the back of their hands when attending her shows.

In an interview with MTV News in 2009, the songstress explained: 'I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks.

'Also, my first song that ever went number 1, it had a 13 second intro, I didn't even do that on purpose! And every time I've ever won an award at an award show, I've either been seated in the 13th row, or row M, which is the 13th letter.' 

Taylor was born on 13 December 1989, which makes today her 'half-birthday'.

Fans tweeted: 'I’m unsure of WHAT is going to happen but the fact that the 100th show JUST SO HAPPENS to land on the 13th of the month AND taylor’s half birthday makes it undeniable that something is happening. Nothing is a coincidence with her.'

'Not to add fuel to the fire but June 13th aka the 100th show is also Taylor’s half birthday.'

The last announcement was 20 shows ago

One eagle-eyed fan pointed out that Taylor's marketing team, Taylor Nation, tweeted: 'When #TSTheErasTour happens in the daylight, it’s easier for Taylor to see your golden love stories unfold. We love celebrating your once-in-twenty-lifetimes moments with you!'

Kira, who posts under the handle @kiralovestaylor, wrote: 'Not them saying “once-in-TWENTY-lifetimes” when the last announcement was TWENTY SHOWS AGO?!?!'

Others quipped: 'I knew that post meant something' and 'I knew that was weird of them to say ahhh'.

One of her new songs has surpassed 100 million streams 

It was also announced today that So High School, a song from her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department, surpassed 100 million Spotify streams.

The song has apparent references to her boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

Some fans think that the timing of the achievement lining up with the 100th show is another reason to believe something special will be happening tonight.

One social media user wrote: 'So High School hitting 100 million on the 13th of the month and the day of her 100th show.'

She wore the same clock necklace she wore to the Grammys  

Taylor went for dinner in Notting Hill on Tuesday wearing the same clock necklace she wore to the 2024 Grammys, the night she announced the name of her latest studio album The Tortured Poets Department.

The singer, who is known to include Easter Eggs - hidden meanings - about future releases in her clothing, has left fans speculating she may be getting ready to release more news soon.

Taking to X, Swifties expressed their excitement at Taylor's decision to sport the necklace again while out with her celebrity pals.

Users wrote: 'Wait the clock necklace started ttpd (The Tortured Poets Department) era... what if she's ending it?'... 'Another version of TTPD is dropping.'

Others added: 'Last time she wore the clock necklace she announced TTPD,'... 'Taylor I'm so scared what is she planning'... 'Something is being announced tomorrow.' 

It's 13 weeks before the anniversary of her VMA award acceptance that was interrupted by Kanye West

The final significance surrounding today's date that fans think is important, is that it's 13 weeks until the anniversary of her VMA award acceptable that was interrupted by Kanye West.

In 2009, Kanye stormed the stage at the MTV VMAs while Taylor, who was 19 at the time, was giving an acceptance speech for Best Female Video, and declared that Beyonce's music video deserved to win over Taylor's.

During the live broadcast, Kanye grabbed the mic from Taylor's hand, to tell the audience that Beyoncé's Single Ladies video deserved the award, instead of Taylor's You Belong With Me.

'Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish,' Kanye said as he took to the stage.

'But Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!'

Despite the fact that the interaction took place so long ago, the moment sparked a long-running feud between the two musicians.

Fans are speculating that she could be announcing the re-recording of her album Reputation, as it has songs that reference her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

Taking to Twitter, Swifties are guessing: 'It’s too perfect date for rep - September 13th is the anniversary of Kanye talking over Taylor award.'

'If there really is a Taylor announcement coming soon, it will probably be on June 13th about Friday September 13th.'

'June 13th being 13 weeks before Sept 13th is kinda making me believe the theories that Taylor will announce Rep TV this week. The clowning will be forever.'
