Taylor took the Grammy stage to accept the award for Best Pop Vocal Album.
She used her acceptance speech to reveal the new album, titled The Tortured Poets Department, will come out April 19.
“Ok, this is my 13th Grammy, which is my lucky number. I don’t know if I’ve ever told you that,” Taylor joked after being handed her latest trophy.
After thanking the voters and her fans, she made her big announcement.
“I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years – which is that my brand new album comes out April 19.
“It’s called The Tortured Poets Department. I’m going to go and post the cover right now backstage.”
FAN FRENZIE
Of course, the surprise news broke the internet, with Swifties everywhere screaming in delight.
“I am so excited for this,” one fan gushed on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I have a feeling (Taylor) outdid herself again.
“This is going to be yet another record breaker. I’m giddy with joy.”
A second fan announced, “This album is about to crash my soul and I’m not even joking, I feel it.”
“NEW SONGS TO MAKE MEMORIES TO, TO DANCE TO, TO CRY TO, TO HAVE ON REPEAT, TO LOVE!!!! GOD I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT,” another boasted, adding a crying emoji.
And one fan exclaimed in all caps, “WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K TAYLOR??”
BUSTED REPUTATION
Just a little earlier, fans were convinced some big news was coming, after seeing clues as Taylor walked the red carpet.
The pop music superstar left fans shocked as she wore a large white dress with a short train following.
Taylor also wore arm-length black gloves with her makeup touched to perfection including a bright red lip and a stunning cat eye.
Black and white are the two colors of her cover for her album Reputation, which ignited suspicion that the re-release of her sixth studio album could be coming soon.
Many fans flooded X with their conspiracy theories.
“One thing about Taylor Swift is she knows how to do promo. The same day she turns her profile picture on all platforms black and white, she attends the Grammys in black and white… Iconic behavior [not gonna lie]. Reputation (Taylor’s version) is coming soon,” one person gussed.
“I support taylor swift announcing reputation tv and making the Grammys about her,” a second admitted.
A third noticed one of Taylor’s necklaces had a clock on it, “Taylor’s necklace is a clock POINTING TO MIDNIGHT. REPUTATION TV ERA INCOMING?”
