Taylor Swift announces new album at the Grammys. Taylor Swift has announced she will release a new album in April. The singer broke the news as she accepted her award for the Best Vocal Pop Album for Midnights at the Grammys on Sunday. ”Okay, this is my 13th Grammy, which is my lucky number. I don't know if I've ever told you that," she said as she took the stage. ”So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19th. It's called The Tortured Poets Department.” She added, "I'm going to go and post the cover right now backstage. Thank you, I love you!” The Shake It Off singer subsequently posted the album artwork on social media. The black-and-white image shows Taylor lying on a big pillow in bed. She captioned the post, "All’s fair in love and poetry... New album THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. Out April 19.” Speculation that she was set to release a new album began earlier in the night when her website displayed a black screen error message and her social media avatars turned black and white. However, many had assumed she was going to announce the re-release of her 2017 album Reputation. The Tortured Poets Department will be the 34-year-old's 11th studio album.
