This quote suggests that despite personal challenges, it's unlikely that Swift stopped her creative process, supporting the idea that there is unreleased material from the period between "1989" and "Reputation."
"She started out with these easter eggs kind of like I don't know during red I feel like was when she was actively like dropping these easter eggs and they used to be so obvious and like even when she was doing the 1989 live stream release she was posting lyrics and told everybody it was a pop album and she would just like put the date and the time and we wouldn't really have to do any other work it was just like she told us what was happening."
