It’s really happening. After the long wait and numerous snake-related teases, Taylor Swift has confirmed her new album — Reputation — is coming out on 10th Nov 2017. But fans won’t have to wait that long to hear new music from the pop queen, as the first single drops on 24th Aug (tomorrow in Malaysia).
This will be her sixth studio album after a three-year hiatus, in which the superstar revealed the album cover art (shot by Mert & Marcus) via Instagram on 23rd Aug (yesterday).
Taylor Swift began teasing the new music on Monday with videos featuring snake. Just last week, the singer created a “blank space” to announce her latest work by cleansing all her social media accounts — deleting all posts and unfollowing all her followers — without warning.
What’s more, the starlet has even turned off the comments feature on her Instagram account.
Her last album, “1989,” was released on 27th Oct 2014, where she collaborated with Zayne Malik for her last single in December titled “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” for the “Fifty Shades Darker” soundtrack.
The singer has stayed mainly out of the spotlight in the last year, only recently returning for her groping trial against former radio DJ David Mueller. The jury ruled in favor of the singer and granted her a symbolic $1.
A source also told the press that Taylor Swift was focused on creating new music in the last few months.
“Taylor has been writing and recording her new album in Nashville for the last several months,” a source told the entertainment website. “She has been working on it around the clock and will be making an announcement soon. She is really excited about her new music and can’t wait to share it with her fans.”
