Why Is July 9th Important To Swifties

After literally months of not-so-low-key hints, Taylor Swift has (*fiiiiinally*) officially announced that Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) will be the next release in her ongoing project to rerecord her first six albums.

After breaking the news onstage during the first of her three nights in Nashville for the Eras Tour, Taylor headed over to Twitter to officially share the big news with the rest of the world, writing:

If, after the overwhelming burst of excitement about the imminent arrival of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) subsided, you reread Taylor’s tweet and thought, What happened on July 9? and then immediately felt embarrassed not to know what the big deal with July 9 is because, well, Taylor’s tweet says “iykyk” and you WANT to know, don’t worry because we are here for you.

S. lore into your ear (well, technically to broadcast them onto your screen of choice, but literary allusions are so much more #Swiftian).

What’s the significance of July 9 for Taylor Swift?

So, what’s the significance of July 9 to Taylor Swift and her fans? Well, July 9 is one of the few dates Taylor has mentioned specifically in a song—and Swifties love it when Taylor mentions an exact date in her song lyrics. Specifically, July 9 gets a shout-out in “Last Kiss.”

Who is “Last Kiss” by Taylor Swift about?

While it’s been a long time since Taylor *officially* confirmed the subject of any of her songs, “Last Kiss” is widely believed to be about Joe Jonas, who Taylor dated from July 2008 to October 2008.

What happened to Taylor Swift on July 9?

“Last Kiss” is a wistful breakup song in which Narrator Taylor reflects on the good days of a relationship she didn’t expect to end (the chorus: “I never thought we’d have a last kiss / Never imagined we’d end like this / Your name, forever the name on my lips”). Assuming the legions of fans who believe the song is about Joe are correct, July 9 is a reference to one of the earliest days of Taylor’s relationship with him (or possibly the day they officially became a couple).

What does July 9 have to do with Speak Now?

As you may have guessed by now, “Last Kiss” is a song from Speak Now, which explains why Taylor made a whole thing of the fact that Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) will be released just two days before what is sure to be celebrated by Swifties as Last Kiss Day.
