  "summary": "Taylor Swift is set to attend the MTV VMAs on Sunday, September 27. Fans, known as Swifties, are speculating about a major announcement from the singer. According to the Daily Times, Swift has added a secret page to her website that has fans convinced she will re-release her debut album.\n\nThe singer's website previously featured a countdown clock that has now timed out, revealing information about a new song titled \"Patient Zero\". The song's title was hinted at in Swift's Instagram bio, which featured zeros replacing the letter \"o\" in the phrase \"And, baby, that's show business for you\".\n\nSwift will receive the inaugural Artist Director Honors at the MTV VMAs, becoming the most awarded artist in VMA history, tied with Beyoncé at 30 awards each.",
