Taylor Swift ends social media mystery, announces new album 'Reputation'

On Thursday night, Taylor Swift's new song will be released. It'll be the first single from her forthcoming album "Reputation," due November 10. The song might be called "Timeless." The song will be the beginning of a new phase in Swift's artistic evolution. It marks her first album since 2014's "1989," which turned her into a bona-fide pop star and became one of the bestselling albums of the century. An anonymous source told Us Weekly that "the single is very different. It goes from very soft, to hard, to soft again" and "it doesn't sound like anything she's done before."

Less than a week after mysteriously wiping all of her social media accounts, Taylor Swift has announced her new album "Reputation."

The album announcement, posted to Instagram, is the culmination of nearly a year of media silence, interrupted only by brief promotional appearances and her recent victory in her Denver assault trial.

Earlier this week, brief, bizarre clips of what appeared to be a snake (a reference to *that* feud with Kim and Kanye?) began appearing on Swift's social media platforms, prompting wild speculation that new music couldn't be too far behind.

Now we know the speculation was correct - "Reputation" will be released November 10. Fans don't have to wait that long to hear new music, though: the first single off the country-turned-pop star's next album comes out Thursday night.
