“It’s called 'The Tortured Poets Department.' I’m going to go and post the cover right now backstage. Thank you. I love you. Thank you," she added.

On Instagram, Swift also shared a photo of what appeared to be song lyrics from the new album.

It said, "And so I enter into evidence/ My tarnished coat of arms/ My muses, acquired like bruises/ My talismans and charms/ The tick tick tick of love bombs/ My veins of pitch black ink/ All’s fair in love and poetry/ Sincerely, the chairman of 'The Tortured Poets Department.'"

While performing during her Eras Tour in Tokyo, Swift revealed her thinking behind announcing her new album at the Grammys.

“I thought, ‘OK, if I’m lucky enough to win one thing tonight, I’m just going to do it,” she said on stage. “I’m just going to announce my new album.”
